How feminist biology is challenging science's gender biases

[merrily]

3. This has gone on for a very long time.

I think the mind boggling Framingham heart study was 50 years old before it was publicized that they studied only men.

However, what really got to me was that they used men either exclusively or in vastly disproportionate numbers to study breast cancer. An unfortunate side effect of that was overdiagnosing men with breast cancer.

And after that bit got publicized, the USG allocated breast cancer research money to the Russian space program. " How did it get away with that?" You might well ask. Why, to study the relationship of weightlessness to breast cancer, of course.

Kind of silly to call it feminist biology, though. It's just good science not to eliminate over 50% of the population, as though their lives and health are irrelevant. The former practice was not only unscientific but heinous. Striving to make it right is not feminism, ffs.
