A tweet from Davey Maher Fitness (@David_Maher) reads:  

“If men lost 20% of their skeleton by 50, there’d be billion-dollar task forces overnight.  

But when women’s bones crumble after menopause?  

It’s just called ‘aging.’ No scans. No BHRT. No urgency.  

Just Mickey Mouse bloodwork & ‘take your calcium, honey’ — & pray you don’t snap a hip.  

This is medical neglect.  

Demand better.”

A comment below by @drmaryclaire says:  

“This post about osteoporosis and bone loss — and the differences between females and males — triggered me in my tracks.  

Agree or disagree with the methodology, what struck me most was this:  

A non-physician male recognizing and calling out the massive discrepancy in how we talk about, study, and treat bone loss in women.  

This is the kind of awareness and conversation we need more of.  

Because women deserve better.”

While that's a nice effort, the post remains inaccessible, and the only remedy is for OP to fix their post (easiest remedy: link to source). To explain, opening every inaccessible post to maybe find a detached, buried comment of unclear reliability demands inequitably more of the disabled user than everyone else, so it isn’t a remedy.
