    That’s what the comic tried to miserably demonstrate: no.

    Women get treated differently than men in the AmeriKKKa

      Oh it’s not just the US. Gender discrimination in medicine is pretty global, even down to the research level largely being studied on men.

        Do you have any sources on that? Sounds kind of far fetched. If this is a world wide phenomenon then maybe because it’s culturally independent? Maybe there’s a biological or medicinal reason for not treating men and women alike? Everyone should be treated individually because of their needs, all comparing is harmful.

        And it’s a veeery sensitive topic, judging other people’s pains, especially nowadays where every female-male-topic is ideologically laden, with lots of prejudices, claims and vigour, even hate and misogynie. We can agree on “let’s look at how pain and other medical treatment should depend on a person’s sex”.

        Everyone demanding “I should get that too because men get that” should then allow me to stay in childbed (or maternity leave) because my wife gave birth.

          This is a well documented phenomenon, meanwhile you seem extremely disingenuous and misogynistic with your flippant commentary about staying in your wife’s hospital bed after she goes through childbirth.

            Looking at your tone you seem quite angry and maybe not open for discussion? You reference some sources for this “well documented phenomenon” that make me wonder if you read that or just asked some AI for it?

            I agree with you if you want some more research done about specific disparities. It seems especially women in their 50s are underrepresented in medical research. There’s more of course, but it’s not “you are a woman, you don’t get any treatment”. This is as wrong as denying biological differences between the sexes.

          What’s more, female doctors can also perpetuate discrimination.

              Not really, it’s an extension of the point. The medical industry has such a pervasive issue with sexism against women that even women doctors are conditioned to perpetuate it because that is the medical culture they have been trained on.

              It’s an understanding that the issue isn’t just male doctors but the entire culture of medical practice being influenced by patriarchal society that even female doctors begin to not take women’s healthcare seriously because they have been conditioned by current, male-dominated medical science and practice.

                  No one is placing blame or questioning what anyone is doing about it. They are just making an observation.

                  I’m not sure why you’re bringing up whataboutism.

                    dubyakay@lemmy.ca above you did. If you do not have insights and knowledge on how to fix this discrimination within the medicine field, there’s really nothing more to discuss.

      I guess if your country isn’t actively genociding an entire people this study is not valid as the patriarchy is still under control…

Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

Rules
  1. 😇 Be Nice!

    • Treat others with respect and dignity. Friendly banter is okay, as long as it is mutual; keyword: friendly.
  2. 🏘️ Community Standards

    • Comics should be a full story, from start to finish, in one post.
    • Posts should be safe and enjoyable by the majority of community members, both here on lemmy.world and other instances.
    • Any comic that would qualify as raunchy, lewd, or otherwise draw unwanted attention by nosy coworkers, spouses, or family members should be tagged as NSFW.
    • Moderators have final say on what and what does not qualify as appropriate. Use common sense, and if need be, err on the side of caution.
  3. 🧬 Keep it Real

    • Comics should be made and posted by real human beans, not by automated means like bots or AI. This is not the community for that sort of thing.
  4. 📽️ Credit Where Credit is Due

    • Comics should include the original attribution to the artist(s) involved, and be unmodified. Bonus points if you include a link back to their website. When in doubt, use a reverse image search to try to find the original version. Repeat offenders will have their posts removed, be temporarily banned from posting, or if all else fails, be permanently banned from posting.
    • Attributions include, but are not limited to, watermarks, links, or other text or imagery that artists add to their comics to use for identification purposes. If you find a comic without any such markings, it would be a good idea to see if you can find an original version. If one cannot be found, say so and ask the community for help!
  5. 📋 Post Formatting

    • Post an image, gallery, or link to a specific comic hosted on another site; e.g., the author’s website.
    • Meta posts about the community should be tagged with [Meta] either at the beginning or the end of the post title.
    • When linking to a comic hosted on another site, ensure the link is to the comic itself and not just to the website; e.g.,
      ✅ Correct: https://xkcd.com/386/
      ❌ Incorrect: https://xkcd.com/
  6. 📬 Post Frequency/SPAM

    • Each user (regardless of instance) may post up to five (5 🖐) comics a day. This can be any combination of personal comics you have written yourself, or other author’s comics. Any comics exceeding five (5 🖐) will be removed.
  7. 🏴‍☠️ Internationalization (i18n)

    • Non-English posts are welcome. Please tag the post title with the original language, and include an English translation in the body of the post; e.g.,
      Sí, por favor [Spanish/Español]
  8. 🍿 Moderation

    • We are human, just like most everybody else on Lemmy. If you feel a moderation decision was made in error, you are welcome to reach out to anybody on the moderation team for clarification. Keep in mind that moderation decisions may be final.
    • When reporting posts and/or comments, quote which rule is being broken, and why you feel it broke the rules.
Web Accessibility

Note: This is not a rule, but a helpful suggestion.

When posting images, you should strive to add alt-text for screen readers to use to describe the image you’re posting:

  • Markdown - Links / Images

Another helpful thing to do is to provide a transcription of the text in your images, as well as brief descriptions of what’s going on. (example)
