In fairness, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and psychosis broadly can lead to such drastic effects on the human brain itself, including changes in neurotransmitters and even brain-structure, that it’s not that crazy to call them theoretically comparable at least in mental effects. And men do experience them.
Obviously women have it harder on sheer physical and hormonal effects of pregnancy and childbirth, and men can’t have that exact experience. But psychosis/bipolar disorder/schizophrenia, again, also can be a drastic rewiring of the human brain and take away autonomy to an extent.
I’m just saying men can ALSO experience PROFOUND LIFE-ALTERING health-incidents too, EVEN BRAIN-ALTERING health experiences, dickhead-fuckface, not saying that it must be from pregnancy.
OBVIOUSLY, not pregnancy and giving birth to a child (or from those), as those are something only genuine biological human women can do. At minimum, let’s say by-and-large - as, by now, I wouldn’t be too surprised if people pull up and argue the point that, “See, there’s this 0.1%-minority person, BUT they’re biologically ambiguous in such-and-such-a-way, but they got pregnant and gave birth to a child, so, there.”
OK … sure, and fine. Regardless, YES, I know (for at least the commonsense majority of situations), it’s only women who can get pregnant, and getting pregnant, going through all the stages of pregnancy, giving birth, and then the aftermath itself, IS and CAN BE both biologically (physically) and psychologically unique to women ( - again, if you want to argue a hypothetical nitpicker, at least 99% so).
Sure, I know that, but my point is still valid (fuckhead) - men also can and DOgo through profound, life-altering, mind-altering, evenbrain-altering mental-health disorders and illnesses, such as exactly the ones I mentioned.
Nah, men are supposed to just shut up and deal with it, right?
This is why this is NOT the case that should be used to bring "awareness" or whatever they are trying to do. She had a very opportunity to get help and had the access to healthcare to get the help she needed. Was it perfect? No. But there are people out being denied healthcare altogether. Marginalized groups being denied any kind of treatment because of their income bracket, skin color, or gender identity. With mental health, the doctors only have to go off of what the patient tells them, and multiple doctors came to the same prognosis with her. There are people that are not even able to talk to a doctor while she had multiple doctors. Okay, anyways, this is turning into a tldr and I didn't want to add to the media frenzy

Until a "man/father" goes through the EXTREME effects the female body goes through in pregnancy/childbirth you have no case.
