I am confused?

I hate it too, I know I'm male, but it's no excuse.

same reason that a guy can sleep around and it's cool but a women does it and she is a **** or a ho...

I have actually only ever heard the term emotional rollercoaster used when referring specifically to women.

I agree that such sexiest statements and attitudes by the medical profession are far too common. But the same does happen with men.

I have a chronic health problem that statistically only ~2-8% of those who have it are men. As a result I've been accused of everything from being wacko to malingering. With VERY little support from men or women in or out of the medical community. (And I've heard the same from other men in my situation.)

The attitudes and behaviors are simply wrong and narrow minded. And sadly far too common -- opening up a whole other issue when in comes to 'reforming' the health care system.

I totally agree with you and hate double standards.

Totally Agree!....So Sexist!

I agree. You are not confused at all!

Im going with midlifemadness on this one... Its just the double standards of this world...

I think that it SUCKS that people can't realise that men and women are equal and should be treated equally

Oh, i hear you! I've always pondered this myself - good question! I'm afraid i have no answer available other than it's clearly still a man's world.
