Gender Inequality In Health Care Analysis

365 Words2 Pages

I have not had a negative experience based on gender in the healthcare system. I have always been treated fairly when it came to my healthcare, but I determine that my answer will change once I begin making appointments at an OB/GYN. The only form of inequality I have noticed when it comes my healthcare revolves around the nurse’s office at my high school. She hands out condoms for free, but should I start my menstrual cycle without a pad in stock she would charge me a quarter for each one. It is unfair that such a necessity for women would still be charged against us when we can refrain from sex, but women cannot refrain from having a period. Patriarchal norms cause a threat to women’s health, especially because they are politically

    I have had a negative experience in the healthcare system because of my gender, it is a personal story but based on the subject I feel like I can share, I received my first routine pap smear when I was 17, I had a lot of anxiety about it and I was very tense and nervous as most women are for their first pap smear. My OBGYN at the time who was a middle aged man literally said in response to my nervousness “I hope you do not act like this during intercourse” I was so stunned and embarrassed I didn’t know what to say to his rude comment. Because of that experience I only go to female providers now especially for my feminine health, looking back as an adult I wish I would have told him off and reported him for his comment.

An example of one of these roles that are having a negative impact on society in the recent decade is the traditional standard that men are supposed to be tough.

  • Discourse Of Masculinity

    525 Words  | 3 Pages

    Masculinity requires males to powerfully occupy space to assert their dominance, otherwise they fail to powerfully occupy space, showcase their lack of dominance and hence, masculinity. Femininity requires females to do the opposite and limit their space occupation in aims of performing their gender appropriately, abiding by the gender order and to avoid lesbian stigmatization. The discourse of social class also affects our movement and health practices. The degree of health practices that one engages in is directly correlated to their education, which strongly determines one’s social class. Therefore, the higher the social class, the more education one possesses and the better their health practices will be (the opposite exists for lower social classes).

Some are more fortunate than others, but we live in a society that is unjust where evidence of inequality based has become a factor. Instead of progress, we seem to be drifting from being a society that is one.
