Id like to add statistics under 2.3 section Bias against intersex people - such as the fact that "some 4% of all live births are intersextional" [1]
Under the same topic I'd like to add Fausto Sterling's belief that instead of automatic assigned sex surgery at birth (often not even communicated to the parents), doctors should only perform sex surgery on a n infant if it is necessary to save its life. (same source).
Id also like to add more information on midwives, which was only mentioned once in the article under "female empowerment" section. I think I can add a section describing how midwives were not thought of as medical leaders due to their lower class/POC demographic. when they started their practices in the early 18th century, and how they provide an alternative to western childbirth, which can be dangerous and not in the best interest of the mother [2]

The article does a decent job of providing evidence to support the existence of gender disparities, but only those which affect women negatively. Very scant mention is made of the gender disparities faced by men, both in developed and in developing countries. The article, as another editor pointed out below, has a strong, but undue, feminist bias. Thus, I have added a "Neutrality Disputed" template to the article. This slant seems to be a continuation of a tacit pro-female bias in several areas of Wikipedia. Notice for example the disparity in quality and content between the articles Women's health and Men's health. More effort should be made to divide the article into two broad sections, one on the gender disparities faced by women (the current article) and the other on those faced by men.
Specifically, content should be added addressing things such as:
-the male suicide and mental health epidemics (especially in developed countries)
-male genital mutilation and deaths associated with it
-the disproportionate number of men who are killed by police, or who are imprisoned, and the effects this has on health disparities
-veterans' mental and physical health (which is largely a male issue)
-men's cancers and their relative lack of attention as opposed to women's cancers (most notoriously, the prostate cancer and breast cancer disparity)
-men more likely to die of all the top ten causes of death in developed countries
-gay men's health (especially as it pertains to the AIDS crisis)
-the life expectancy gap
-genetic defects disproportionately affecting men and boys (hypochondria, Y-linked diseases, autism, etc...)
-the fact that, especially in developed countries but increasingly so in developing countries, men of all age cohorts tend to have higher mortality rates than their female counterparts
-workplace fatalities (overwhelmingly a male issue)
-workplace injuries and health (again, mostly a men's issue, i.e. black lung disease)
-the impact of "women and children first" policies in health emergency situations ("gynocentrism")
-those countries, particularly ex-Soviet ones, which have some of the highest male-to-female imbalances (in favor of women) in the world, due to war, economic depression, suicide, and alcoholism affecting mostly men
-alcoholism, drug abuse, and homelessness
-the institutional bias in favor of women's (and children's) health in many countries (i.e., a Minister for Women and Women's Health but no equivalent for Men or Men's Health, or the weight and priority generally given to women's health disparities by governments and NGOs based on the idea that in "patriarchal societies" women and girls lack, at the social or cultural level, the health opportunities that men do)
-also note that, at least in developed countries, women make up the majority of the nursing profession, and are already a majority of the biology, medicine, sociology, anthropology, and biomedical sciences students
-the article should also be placed under a "Men's Issues" or "Men's Rights" banner (not sure of the exact name), so as to balance the undue weight of the "Feminism" banner
An effort should also be made to avoid citing so many explicitly feminist sources, as these inevitably lead to a disproportionate focus on women's health disparities and a lack of attention to or even a contemptuous justification of men's health disparities. I would also like to add that, giving a cursory look at the relevant available online "reliable" sources, many of these seem to have an explicit or implicit feminist bias, and so I am not sure how easy it would be to find data on men's health disparities specifically, although raw statistics are definitely out there.
I have neither the time, nor skills, nor resources, to edit this article and provide a more balanced view of the topic. That is why I decided to add the NPOV tag, to encourage further editing of the article so as to better and more equitably represent gender disparities in health. 2601:281:C200:D17F:4988:4125:36CE:3405 ( talk) 23:34, 12 June 2017 (UTC)

For instance, healthcare systems tend to regard women as objects rather than subjects, where services are often provided to women as a means of something else rather on the well-being of women.
In the case of reproductive health services, these services are often provided as a form of fertility control rather than as care for women's well-being.
Hello! My name is Michelle, and I'm a student at Rice University in the PJHC Program. I am interested in writing an article on Gynecologic Cancer Disparities / Women's Cancer Disparities / Female Cancer Disparities ( I haven't decided on a name yet). I read through your article and really loved your breakdown of sections. If I did create an article, I would love to use this article as a parent page. I was wondering if you could provide any suggestions for ways to structure this broad of an "disparities"-focused article that I am proposing. I am hoping to make the page as globally focused as possible, but there are so many ways to structure the article.. in terms of cancer type (ovarian, cervical, vaginal, etc.), country/region, etc. Additionally there are many dimensions to gynecologic oncology disparities including regional/geographical disparities, socioeconomic level based disparities, racial disparities, and more. I was wondering if anyone reading this talk page had any suggestions. Thanks for reading! Mtran99 ( talk)
This article is incredibly thorough! I am impressed by the breadth of topics discussed, the various angles of society, culture, and public health. The amount of detail in statistics and various sources cited are impressive and really help with the credibility and depth of the article. I have some suggestions:
Overall, this article is incredibly thorough, largely uses a neutral point of view, and is very informative. Great job!

This is a very thorough, resource-rich article that touches on a variety of concepts discussed in class, and also links to a great number of other Wikipedia articles. I enjoyed reading this. I think you represent the connectedness of each of these issues well, and I especially think that the map of the human sex ratio by country is very helpful!
You may want to consider addressing policies that reduce gender disparities or examine policy recommendations, as this will provide a more comprehensive view of the grand scheme of gender disparities.
The caption underneath the picture of “Mass community health education” is quite wordy, and should be cut down. Additionally, the image in “Uninsured children” is small and hard to see, even while clicked on.
Overall, make sure you maintain the tone of Wikipedia, such as in the sentence: “Health disparity is the differences in health care…” that should read as “Health disparity has been defined as the difference in health care…” Check for this type of writing in other parts of the article to keep the encyclopedia tone.
There are a few specific suggestions that I think can help the clarify and ease of reading your article, to really make it top notch. These are as follows:
This was a great article - you clearly put a lot of time and effort into it, and I think these few suggestions would really help! Laurenpedia ( talk) 03:33, 6 April 2013 (UTC)
Hi Jennyxwen! Thanks so much for the feedback and comments. They were really helpful. I think you made a great point with regards to the definition of health, why didn't I think of that. I have added a definition of health from merriam webster and also a definition from WHO like you recommended into the lead section. Good call! Thanks again! In the female bias section, although my main intent was to provide an explanation of how the gender bias is predominantly female, I did include some specific implications of discrimination, such as poorer health outcomes. Nevertheless, I have added into female bias section more specifics of how women are being discriminated against. I also added "Subsaharan Africa" into the female bias section.
With regards to graphics, I have tried to include more images but copyright issues are preventing me from adding more. I'm a little reluctant to add images of women (often from the global south, in poverty, or of minority ethnicities) gathering wood and other similar activities because it gives a very colonial gaze to the article.
On the sentence you are talking about citing in the section for unequal access to healthcare, I can't seem to locate. :( And with regards to discussing overarching causes rather than jumping into case studies, which section are you referring to?
In terms of organization, I am thinking of keeping the section as "causes" since the title of the entry is "Gender disaparities in Health," "causes" would only refer to the entry title. For the "other axes of oppression," I am more inclined to keep it under "causes" because other axes of oppression such as socioeconomic status do worsen health disparities for certain groups of women. But if you really feel that I should lift it, I'm open to discussing it further!

Thanks for pointing out the wikipedia tone. I'll proofread through my wikipedia page again to check on the sentences. On the sentence that you gave me as an example, I have adjusted the tone to a encyclopedia tone.

I just removed a few sentences that are too close to the source text to be acceptable -- these will have to be rephrased substantially to be included. The requirement is that the source has to be paraphrased in what is essentially a new statement of the facts. Mike Christie ( talk - contribs - library) 22:19, 13 April 2013 (UTC)
"making them more prone to illnesses and death" This needs to be edited. Women are not more prone to illnesses and death. I skimmed the source and there is nothing implying that statement. Could you provide the page you are citing? Women have higher life expectancy and lower rates of disease almost everywhere, as described here. In addition, this isn't mentioning that "more prone to death" doesn't make sense; everyone is 100% prone to death. If you included a reference of age, i.e. more prone to younger death, it would make sense. However... It's nonsensical that women would have high rates of death and illness while having higher life expectancy in almost every country. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 161.57.100.150 ( talk) 00:33, 18 April 2013 (UTC)
Why is an article that is supposed to address disparities that affect both sexes/genders categorized under Feminism?
"While both males and females face health disparities, girls and women experience a majority of health disparities. This comes from the fact that many patriarchal cultural ideologies and practices have structured society in a way whereby women are more vulnerable to abuse and mistreatment, making them more prone to illnesses and early death." Although I don't necessarily disagree with this when factoring in the entire world, can the same be said regarding developed nations?
This article seems to focus on how women face more inequality in total, and less about the actual issues that effect both men and women depending on region/culture.
What is the link between women being unable to achieve higher level education or paid labor and health outcomes? Answer the how. Tkk20 ( talk) 19:24, 13 September 2018 (UTC)
Hello, I am planning on adding to this article as an assignment for a "Women, Development and Globalization" course. I'm hoping to restructure the "Poverty" section, and add information to help address some of the bias in the article. I'm also hoping to add information about maternal mortality to the "Female Mortality" section. Please let me know if you have any suggestions. Thank you! Kenara44 ( talk) 04:38, 29 November 2018 (UTC)
I feel like the article builds a case for "Gender disparities in health" the way a primary source would, but "plenty of RS use the term". I really think the article needs to build more from such sources from the beginning. It's also clear that the article is talking about sex categories and using "gender" in its meaning that is synonymous with "sex". There are few hits for "Sex disparities in health", but the article should cite a source that clarifies this. Maneesh ( talk) 22:39, 27 December 2021 (UTC)
I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Gender disparities in health's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

I feel like the article builds a case for "Gender disparities in health" the way a primary source would, but "plenty of RS use the term". I really think the article needs to build more from such sources from the beginning. It's also clear that the article is talking about sex categories and using "gender" in its meaning that is synonymous with "sex". There are few hits for "Sex disparities in health", but the article should cite a source that clarifies this. Maneesh ( talk) 22:39, 27 December 2021 (UTC)
I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Gender disparities in health's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 11:50, 3 April 2022 (UTC)
