    No they aren’t mutually exclusive, that’s true. But if women-only research funding is below 10%, this says nothing about male-only funding. From what I could find that majority of funding goes to research that is gender agnostic. The problem seems to be that when gender specific funding is warranted, male-specific conditions seemed to get more attention than made sense. If the goal is to have equality in healthcare, is this not promising?

      Our bodies are not gender agnostic though. That research is predicated on male bodies.

        No not really. Whilst it may not be gender agnostic, including both men and women does not make research for male bodies. Sure, historically this has been a problem and this is why it became a requirement to include women in the 90’s, who h is mentioned in the article.

          I can’t hold your hand through this anymore. You’re being willfully obtuse about this.
