The effect gender inequality has on men's health
Research has been showing that the gender inequality between men and women have been affecting men's health in a negative way. Since men are held to certain standards (just like women), they feel like they can't express their concerns/emotions which can lead to emotional turmoil. Men are constantly told to "Man up," or "Men do not cry," which is constraining the men's social norms and actually affecting women's health too. Some people in society have created a movement called "Man up Monday" which promotes the prevention of sexually transmitted diseases, they also address the social norms expected of men and try to eliminate them. In other countries such as Africa, men are at high risk of death because their health is usually over looked and ignored mainly because they are men and need to be tough. Men in Africa had a harder time surviving the ART (Assisted Reproductive Technology) treatment since they had a higher risk of dying from HIV than women did, men had a lower mortality rate then woman did after going through this process and often died since they were denied treatment. In Africa, men have such a high dominance which often leads to the community looking over them when it comes to health, and research has proven that men are put into unfair discriminatory practices which lead to harmful/negative outcomes.
