Researchers' sexism fears are putting women's health at risk, scientist claims: scientists ignore differences in male/female brains to avoid being labelled sexist

It was added that in some drugs testing cases, these generalisations may have instead put men’s health at risk. Lazaroids, a rejected stroke treatment, may have worked for men but was deemed as no longer working after being used on both sexes.

I'm going to be that jerk: women are getting what they deserve for letting a vocal minority be their only voice for decades.

You can't ask scientists to become martyrs for the cause of women, when it's women who will crucify them anyway.

It's not even pragmatic: by not rocking the boat, they at least get results for 48% of humanity, which is 48% more than if they got sacked.

.

Then again, gender is social construct, so women just have to identify as a non-binary man prior to popping their pills, and all will be fine.

Yeah, that whole thing called 'reality.' We're so sorry that exists.

But is it really true that researchers focus on men? This article argues otherwise and seems well sourced:

Warren Farrell also argues this is a myth in the Myth of Male Power.

Well, the solution to this problem is so obviously clear. Research women's brains, and generalize the results for men. Women should never suffer as a result of such overt and hostile misogyny. The claim of hormone interference is sexism plain and simple, another example of male scientists blaming "hysterical women" for their own incompetence. (/s)

Doesn't this also endanger men for the very same reasons? But once again we fall into the "how this harms women" avenue of persuasion.

Not a men's rights issue. It's not men's health being affected.
