This is again a sort of placeholder for something I want to write about later: the Go Red for Women promotion for women\u2019s heart health. Am I the only one who finds it irritating how much more emphasis there is on women\u2019s health than men\u2019s? \u2014 in particular, in the corporate world, both in workplace campaigns and ad campaigns, we\u2019re told to wear red on February 7th. Yet, last I checked, women, as a whole, were healthier than men, especially as evidenced by their longer life expectancies. <\/p>\n
Is the idea that men can\u2019t be helped? That they can\u2019t be persuaded to take better care of their health, or that more medical intervention won\u2019t make a difference \u2014 that they\u2019re doomed and there\u2019s nothing we can do about it? <\/p>\n
Is this a more subtle effect of the decline in marriage? \u2014 that in generations past, women would have been, on average, more concerned about the health of the men in their lives than is now the case? <\/p>\n
Any ideas?<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
