Male Health Problems Prompt Little Sympathy

And here's a perfect example - this story from DrKoop.com talks about the various health risks and developmental issues that boys have, and essentially ridicules them in a condescending tone: "So much for the macho male...New research...says guys are -- brace yourself -- 'fragile.'" The author then goes on to talk about how boys shouldn't be treated so callously and roughly when young. Apparently it's ok to shame and patronize them, though.
