I read about hospitals for women and that doctors are just doing things for women, isn’t anyone helping mens health?? Why aren’t there mens hospitals??
Men die from all 10 major causes of death at higher rates than women. Which renders the claims that "women have way more health problems", by several responders to this question, as absolute nonsense.
Yet we (USA) spend roughly twice as much on women’s health as men’s health.
And mainstream feminist organizations like NOW actively campaign to maintain and increase this gender gap in spending.
The answer is pretty clear – mainstream feminist’s man-hate is at least part of the problem.

Women get pregnant and need more attention than men.

Most women’s hospitals are for things like gynecology and birth. So unless you’re planning on growing a vagina, you don’t need one.

Women are the only gender who can actually give birth. Women can have miscarriages.
Men can’t get pregnant, and can’t lose a baby.
Women get raped, men don’t.

I’d like to correct Rainbow Flowers on a typical fallacy used by mostly radical feminists or people who are just completely ignorant in general.
Men DO get raped. A woman can rape a man easily by slipping a drug into his drink so that he may fall unconscious, and stimulating the penis so that he may get an erection (yes, you can and DO get erections while unconscious) and having sex with him.
Also, the hospitals for women may or may not be necessary due to the fact that women can get pregnant. I’m not sure to say whether or not hospitals specifically for women are necessary, but these hospitals should be able to cope with the needs of pregnant women much easier (or at least, in theory)

LOL.
Okay, women’s bodies are more complicated. Are you seriously jealous of things like wires being poked through sexual organs, placentas, PMS etc??

Men are less likely to go to hospital, or seek any form of treatment.

I heard this DJ on the radio call a hospital and ask for the men’s health section and the operator said: "There is no men’s health department"
He rang again later and said ‘Can u put me through to the women’s health department?’
And she said: "What section?"
Sad isn’t it?

Men don’t need hospitals and special doctors and stuff – men are tough and uncompromising – men are heroic in stance and build – men, when they die, go straight to Valhalla, and sit around and drink mead and view dancing girls all day and night – therefore men don’t need hospitals and such. Why would they want to delay their entry to Valhalla?
(Shakes head) Gee – I just woke up from a dream there!!
Uuuum! Men don’t get the attention from the medical things for several reasons:-
a) They are prone to NOT complain unless they are near death. They will want coffee and sympathy over a cut finger, but if they break their leg, they will horde it to themselves and focus on getting over it.
b) Men historically (and hysterically) are considered to be ‘expendable’ in the breeding cycle, since it takes only one virile, strong, uncompromising, heroic man to fertilise a vast number of willing, slavish, subservient (not subversive, Igor) females whose knees will go weak and they will fall at the chance to be impregnated. Nature does this so as to give the human race a more than fair chance of going on, even if the individual man does not.
This, of course, goes against the upward trend in civilised behaviour and approaches to problems built up over thousands of years by men, for the benefit of all. That, wee ones, is called a Patriarchy.
c) Women are a little more complicated in their water works region, and, as the bearers of Good Tidings, the future of the human race, they naturally get extra attention.
Naturally, once again, this is a situation which will inevitably be overborne by the aforementioned civilised behaviour and approaches to problems mentioned above, once men once again get their fair say in all things, and the genuine oppression, gendercide, and social destruction cease (or are made to cease – read my treatise on the ways in which wrongful government can be overthrown – I’ve got it here somewhere – I’ll dig it up).
d) There are too many women in health professions and paraprofessions.
e) My experience of many health ‘professionals’ is that they need a good foot up the bum, and need to get off their ego trip, money laundering mentality, and social status and do some real work for patients. We don’t extend to them those privileges so they can simply fake it!

Igor – we’ve been waiting for a long time for a free shot at medical professionals , haven’t we. Wait ’til our illustrious readers get a little older and start to develop problems. If it’s not simple and it’s not in a book somewhere – these people are lost. See you at the funeral!

Because….just like old people, men are now considered useless…sad, but true. (End times are upon us)

In ancient times, soldiers who fought with swords would heat their swords in fire until their weapon was burning red. Then a comrade of theirs would press the blade upon a slash in the soldier’s flesh. If you want a hospital go to a hospital. There’s thousands around the country that accept us men.

I don’t care if women have hospitals specifically for them or not. I don’t care if we do or dont as well.

now you want a turkey neck and gizzard hospital? Really I don’t know why. There already is a cure for prostate cancer.

We have long had a culture of chivalry that puts women first, and for the past 40 years we have had a culture of ‘equality’ that again puts women first.
Here is a clear example: In the UK "A man diagnosed with prostate cancer has only one-quarter of the cash spent on research into his disease compared to the amount devoted to a woman’s breast cancer. The wide discrepancy shows the scale of the discrimination against men. The two diseases kill similar numbers" http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/uk/article579050.ece

There are more gender-specific medical concerns for women than there are for men. For everything else, there’s always the general hospitals.

Obviously men can get treatment but what kind of treatment?
As others point out, much more money is spent on women’s health than on men’s health. And, as you point out, there are plenty of facilities that only cater to females but few to none that only cater to males.
That kind of speaks for itself when it comes to feminist "equality."

A hospital for only women? Please tell us the name – it might explain why resources would be wasted on one gender only.
Here in the UK we have to have mixed wards – you can’t even sleep in a single sex ward, never mind an entire hospital devoted to only women.
The only reason I could think of it might be that it specialises in "women’s problems" – like pregnancy, birth, babies, etc.

I never donate to women’s health charities for that very reason.
