Gender role stressors and women’s health

By ai0036

Being a woman does that mean that they are more pron to get sick or does that only mean that they are more frequently diagnosed. Woman today report that they have more headache and they are diagnosed with more pyschological disorders. Is the reason because they are more likely to go to the doctor. Men if they feeling sick they will refuse to go the doctor. The almost look like are scared of not being in control. So is it fair to say woman have get more illnesses.  Another factor that must be considered are the doctors themselves. As doctors are they more likely to tell woman that they are experiencing certain symptons due to stereotypes or is there medical diagnosis purely medical which is backed behind medical evidence. Fianlly are woman more likely to complain becuase they are woman and by society are viewed as the weaker sex. Or do they actually experience more pain then men. In my opinion it is a combination of all three why woman are more likely to report that they experience pain. Woman are always going to be viewed as the weaker sex even if men start to report that they are ill or experiencing pain. They will develop other gender stereotypes in order to discrete woman from becoming the stronger sex. Being a woman is alot more difficult then men give us credit for. We ae constantly going to uncomfortable events which many times do not have a good explanation. So in other words men need to give us a break.
