? There are treatments for osteoporosis. They're called bisphosphonates. And bone density screenings are routine in older women. Am I missing something?
You're just not hating on men the right way.
To be fair this is more industry specific than just motivated by some sense of misandry.
It's specifically doctors. And medicine is still biased as fuck.
The healthcare industry has a very well known history of just ignoring women. Many treatments for women-centric illnesses were tested on just men, because dealing with women's cyclic hormone was deemed "too hard", and make test subjects were just easier. Until shockingly recently.
This isn't "men bad", it's patriarchy bad, including for men.
the existence of treatments doesn't mean they are readily available to people who need them.
But that's because your healthcare system doesn't really exist, and that's true for just about everything
precisely.
Don't know why you're being downvoted. Many male doctors are sexist as hell. So unless you know there are treatments and bring it up and/or force the issue, the doctor isn't going to tell you.
