Statistically, doctors are more likely to believe men and take them seriously than they are women. Doctors are more likely to treat pain in men appropriately than they are women. Doctors are far likely to take white men at face value and believe what they're saying than they are black women.
The fact that you've had bad luck doesn't mean that this is true systemically for all men, or even for the majority of men.
