    We just went through COVID, and what OP posted speaks to me more than your empty message. Why don’t you fill us in, and with something on the level of COVID disinformation?

      I obviously cannot speak for OP, but I think they are referencing how women and people of color have historically had their concerns discounted by the medical field. Women were hysterics, black and brown people did not feel pain like white men do. That kind of bologna. Things are getting better, but these sorts of problems still exist today.

        I hear you with these examples. These were even some of the reasons given why some people were hesitant to take up vaccination for covid. So, yes, these things do exist, but I think the original message in this post speaks to me more. I have to image, too, it’s truer than the reverse these days, especially after having just witnessed the fiasco surrounding covid prevention and treatment.

        I appreciate you supplying these examples. I had heard of them before, but did not link them to this other person’s post. Thank you.

          No worries, I like good discourse on here :-)
