Are you suggesting men don't seek medical treatment therefore it's their fault for getting sick?
Girls often don't want to become programmers, and, as I know it, we don't say "It's their fault". We just raise the issue and everyone is fighting to make them want to become programmers.
It's way past time we apply the same reasoning to men's problems as women's problems. Males not seeking medical treatment could be because they're not aware of it (i.e. not enough funding for male diseases as female preventive programs). Or it could be because males are more suicidal about life, because they get the short end of the stick in pretty much all countries, despite the way it is framed in statistics, and we should equally fight for that. In any case, any statistics which leads to 6-year-shorter life expectancy denotes a very acute problem, for which funding should be given in equal level as for women's equality.
