A lot of it is self-inflicted. Largely do to machismo culture, men tend to avoid the doctor. Women are less likely to be pig-headed about going to the doc.

"Self-inflicted" but when women suffer from e.g. ridiculous beauty standards, then it is a societal issue.

Machismo culture is not "self-inflicted" because

Men are not a "self". Even if my father would have raised me like that, I am not my father, so consequently it wouldn't be self-inflicted.
Society is promoting and pushing machismo culture to men. Men are not the only one promoting it. Women promote machismo culture too. I can tell you that from my own personal experience and frankly, personally, I felt greater pressure from women in my life than from men to be "toxic-masucline".

And obviously, it is wrong that women suffer from societal pressure too and they have my full support. This is not about demonising women, it is about calling out the narrative that societal pressure on men is "self-inflicted" and societal pressure on women is "caused by men". We all do it and we all need to stop. Support each other. Raise your children to be supportive of self expression. Sexism is bad.

Women: goes to doctor, doesn't get good help because doctors suck, bad outcome.

Men: doesn't go to doctor in the first place because doctors suck, bad outcome.
