PHM-Exch> Patriarchy, masculinities and health inequalities (2)

[Claudio Schuftan]

From: Peter Somerville psomerville at lincoln.ac.uk


 Gender inequality is well known in health and public policy and it goes way
beyond the crude stereotypes of masculinity and femininity mentioned here.
Take just one example cited below, namely that countries with higher
proportions of women in national parliaments use lower levels of violence in
international crises - this could be, as suggested, because women are less
inclined to violence, or it could be because countries that use lower levels
of violence are more likely to elect women to political power.
