I am a 65 year old woman.

I’m not saying you haven’t experienced what you say you have. And I’m not saying there is no medical bias.

I’m just saying I’m puzzled by your comment, the one I quoted, because I have never experienced it. At least, not as it relates to age, which is what you specified (women over 50).

I was asking for examples, not denying your experience as a woman.

The fact that you insisted on personal examples speaks volumes. There was nothing "puzzling" about my comment and you were the ONLY person who did not relate to this issue. Just because you did not experience something does not mean it does not exist. Have you considered that you're just not very perceptive of disrespect and dismissive attitudes toward women due to your own internalized misogyny?
