在过去二十年中,妇女为改善其健康和保健质量采取了相当积极的行动。最近,男性也开始注意到“男性化”对他们健康的负面影响。这些运动在争夺公众同情和稀缺资源时相互冲突的危险越来越大。如果要避免冲突,就需要更清楚地了解性和性别对健康的影响。这就可以为认真对待妇女和男子的需要的对性别问题有敏感认识的政策奠定基础。
The past two decades have seen considerable activism by women to improve the quality of their health and health care. Recently men too have begun to draw attention to the negative implications of “maleness” for their health. There is an increasing danger that these campaigns could be drawn into conflict with each other as they compete for public sympathy and scarce resources. If conflict is to be avoided there needs to be a much clearer understanding of the impact of both sex and gender on health. This can then provide the foundation for gender sensitive policies that take seriously the needs of both women and men.
