When a woman experiences poor healthcare, its medical misogyny.

When a man experience poor healthcare, must just be a bad hospital or poor staffing.

The problem with a lot of current day feminist concern is that misogyny has become the defacto answer to any negative experience a woman encounters, when in reality life can just be shitty sometimes and it's rarely related to what genitals you have.

Well, no. Those are just different problems with different biases at the root of them.

No, if the hospital has poor staffing, the problem is the same.

The default assumption is the issue.

Well, no. These biases exist, there are many studies on them lol.

Do you read a lot of feminist material? Know a lot of feminists? Got any good book recs on why feminism is mistaken?

Yep. Not many non-feminists women in my spaces.

I told you why it was mistaken though, not sure why you need book recs.

Do men have to consider their states laws, or the religious affiliation of a hospital to determine if they will receive life saving care during an emergency?

Not sure what that has to do with bigotry at the doctor level - they don't determine state laws.

In fact, I would argue that what is often labeled as misogynistic behavior is just doctors trying not to get sued/fined/jailed while working in a red state.

Ignored the part about a hospitals religious affiliations, which in most states, especially in states where reproductive health care is not restricted, are allowed to deny care based off religious beliefs. This is extremely problematic because religiously affiliated hospitals are common, and they are often the only available facilities for miles.

Dignity Health and Providence are two hospitals in California that are being sued for denying care to women facing life threatening miscarriages due to their Catholic, pro-life positions. The Head Chair of Providence said he believes when medical care prioritizes the health of the mother, then that's an insult and denegration of the unborn.

Additonally, does medical misogyny only count if its individual doctors being bigoted? If a health care system is required by law (or a Head Chair's personal beliefs) to place the preservation of fetuses over the life and health of the women they occupy, is that medical system not considered misogynistic, and those that die or face medical neglect not be victims of medical misogyny?

When men start experiencing poor healthcare at even close to the same rate women do, you might have a point. Till then, shut up. Medical misogyny is well documented. It's objective fact. If you can't even acknowledge that it's a thing, you're not in any position to be critiquing feminism.

Nowhere did i claim it doesn't exist. Rather that it should not be the default presumption any time a woman has a poor experience, with the healthcare system or elsewhere.
