Who are the real hypochondriacs - men or women? →
“Who are the real hypochondriacs - men or women?” is the headline the BBC gave this story as a link from their main news page, thus leading you to expect whichever sex complains most to be “bad”. When you follow the link, the story opens with the news that women complain about their health more than men. So, we’re the hypondriacs, eh?
Well, no. When you reach the destination page, the headline now reads “Women ‘more likely to report ill health than men’”, and when you actually read the story… the real concern is that men are less aware of health issues & don’t address them sufficiently. Men aren’t complaining enough!
I guess “who are positively in tune with their bodies - men or women?” would have been a crap headline, huh boys?
Next headline: “BBC show sexist bias”. Ah, sorry, that’s a bit “dog bites man”, isn’t it? ;o)
