    The difference in gender care still upset me a ton. Multiple ex girlfriends have told me that their doctors and even the nurses don’t take their comments or requests seriously unless a guy (me in that case) is around to repeat it. Which is obviously totally fucking bullshit.

    My mom was denied painkillers until her boyfriend demanded them for her.

    I have legitimately heard doctors say “you know how women are, always so dramatic”. Like bitch I am 5’11" and 280 pounds, but I will cry like a baby if I have to get shots. I hate needles. Men can be dramatic too haha.
