Men with chronic pain will show up at a doctor and see the doctor scribble "N. A. D." (No Apparent Distress) even though they are going to the doc because they are distressed.
People with back pain, neck pain, etc. lose many years of their life to lacking, ineffectual, or harmful (surgery and opioid) treatments. That's why most men suffer through it and sometimes the first that most of the people who "know them" find out about it is after the suicide.
That is, women are not oppressed relative to men, they just expect more. (Maybe they should and men should too...)
