13. Perhaps the real problem is the flawed & offensive sexist assumption?

Apr 2023

A scattering of headlines on the topic:

"Women are bigger hypochondriacs than men, but are also less likely to die of illness"

"Hypochondriacs more likely to have health problems"

"A recent study suggests younger women who have heart attacks may hesitate to get help because they’re afraid of being labeled hypochondriacs."

"Women's health concerns are continually blamed on stress, hormones, and even imaginations."

"Women's Health Concerns Often Go Ignored"

"Women's pain often is dismissed by doctors"
