The Men's Rights Movement: I Just Don't Get It.

[Darth]

The medical and scientific communities all study men and pursue the male agenda much more frequently than the female's

Huh? What? How so. I'm gunna have to ask you for something to back this up. This seems wrong intuitively given just the emphasis on breast cancer compared to prostate and testicular cancer, and the differences between life expectancies, women live longer and those final years would be the most expensive. Also childbirth, though we can cut that one out of consideration if you want.

And here comes science penguin with some stats (for america)

In aggregate, female spending was $887.9 billion and accounted for 57 percent of all personal health care (PHC) spending (females accounted for roughly 50 percent of the population). Male spending was $662.0 billion and accounted for the remaining 43 percent.

...

In aggregate, female spending levels were higher than male spending levels for every PHC good or service. Other Public was the only payer where total health care spending levels were greater for males than females, due to the Department of Veterans Affairs and the Department of Defense expenditures for health care.

Lets ignore the middle age range given the costs of maternity that aren't filtered out.

The males under 18 ARE 4% more expensive (at $2,736 each), the explanation is ADHD medications, not exactly benevolent spending then.
In the over 65 bracket, the much more expensive one (about $14,000 per capita), females account for 61% of spending.

Now, as I went for the american stats, some of this is people spending on themselves, if people of one gender want to spend more on something, that's their right. What we're interested in here is if one gender is receiving more attention from the medical community. Which, if females are spending more, or having more spent on them, I highly doubt.

Lets take a quick look at Australia, see if they distinguish between public and private funds

Ok the Aussie governments fund 69.7% of healthcare costs, arg, but no gender breakdown!
Maybe we need to look at Canada's costs before the court decision bringing in private healthcare?

As to science in general, how do you figure?
