I love the smell of WTF in the morning
Two stories (amongst, most likely, a whole raft of ‘em) bemoaning the horrid state of affairs of women’s health care, despite the fact that women live years longer than men.
"We will not see significant progress as long as women are regarded as second-class citizens in so many parts of the world. We will not see significant progress as long as women are excluded from educational and employment opportunities, are paid less or not paid at all, are denied the right to own property, are victims of violence, have no control over household income, and have no freedom to spend money on health care, even if it means saving their own lives."
and
"Women generally live longer than men, but their lives are not necessarily healthy or happy," Margaret Chan, the head of the United Nations health agency, said at the WHO on Monday.
Sweet Cheeks sez that it’s a damn shame that all those dead men have better health care than those long suffering women.
I say that if women want to really see "significant progress", whatever that might be or however that might be defined, they’ve simply have got to start killing men sooner.
