Going to school and one of my classes is on research, research traditions, etc., and most of it isn't bad.

Except for one section of the online course.

I can't screenshot it, so I'll copy and paste it , but it's basically a section that is involving the "critique" of modern research traditions by feminism:

Feminism has critiqued the research tradition, particularly the positivist tradition, and has accused it of male bias. Women’s voices tend not the be heard in much research (for example women’s cardiac health issues are different from men’s, yet the dominant approach is that of the male experience). Women’s experiences are not the same as men’s experiences and this needs to be recognized in research. An approach to research has been developed by feminists called “standpoint theory”. This suggests that a distinctive perspective should be applied to research which privileges women’s “standpoint”.

Feminists have also emphasized the need to recognize the issue of Power in research relationships and strive to develop non hierarchical research relationships. This seeks to involve participants as much as possible in every level of the research process and not treating them simply as passive subjects.

One writer, Mies, advocates a “Conscious Partiality” towards women’s experiences. This leads feminist researchers to emphasis Action Research methods, Needs Assessments and evaluation. Consequently this leads to a preference for Qualitative Methodologies.

“What counts as knowledge must be grounded in experience. Human experience differs according to the kinds of activities and social relations in which humans engage. Women’s experience systematically differs from the male experience upon which knowledge claims have been grounded. Thus the experience on which the prevailing claims to social and natural knowledge are founded is, first of all, only partial human experience as understood by men”. (Harding and Hintikka,1983)

Now, I know that there are many cases where women's viewpoints are favored in research over men's (particularly in psychology and education), but I need hard examples of data and also examples of other areas of research where there has historically been a fundamental bias towards women.

Just for clarity, yes, some female health issues (like cardiovascular health) have indeed been largely ignored, because historically far more men have suffered from cardiac issues than women have (what an irrational thing; research going to help those who suffer more from an issue rather than to those who suffer less from it /s), and of course women do indeed need (and deserve) help in whatever health circumstances they find themselves in (I don't care who you are or what you believe in; I'll still try to save your life, because I am the eternal optimist when it comes to the human potential to change for the better). However, to say that all research has a male-centric bias is absolute nonsense.

I just need proof.
