Sex Matters

[janterry]

2. It's shocking that we still don't realize how important sex is

in medicine - after all these years.

I remember when I was young, I learned that breast cancer was studied most commonly in men, because women were 'too complex' to study (too many OTHER variables).

I thought once that was exposed, it would all change. It hasn't.

Sex really matters in all aspects of life, but particularly medicine. And, as usual, women seem to continue to be an after thought.

For anyone who thinks things are getting better today for women - they are not.
