Abstract |
There are important gender determinants to both men's and women's susceptibility to COVID-19. Emerging findings confirm men are dying disproportionately at a higher rate than women. Such gender differences in deaths have informed scholars to widen their analytical look through a critical masculinity lens. As the practices to respond to the context of the gendered burden of disease are still inadequate and nearly absent on men's health, it is suggested to specifically focus on men's vulnerability to COVID-19 with appropriate interventions. © 2021.
