Medical science is in fact terribly biased against women because the standard baseline is almost always a typical male body (lemmy.world)

That sounds fine. How much funding should go to exclusively womens issues?

How much funding is on male only health issues? We need something to compare because that stat alone is useless.

It honestly strikes me as high.

I would expect that women-exclusive or male-exclusive issues would be less than 7% of all issues.

Buddy, you have no idea how many medical issues happen doing to pregnancy and child birth alone. It's staggering.

Enlighten us then, how many issue happen between pregnancy and child birth?
