How feminist biology is challenging science's gender biases

5. Umm, That sounds like a reason why they SHOULD test females.

Someone correct me here if I'm wrong. Last I heard, females made up roughly 50-51 percent of our species. So acknowledging something as significant as hormonal cycles in half our population seems pretty logical to me. Unless you are an old white guy doctor with a research grant and an agenda.

Correct me if I'm wrong here. Don't most mature women, before menopause, go through monthly cycles that affect them physiologically? Then they go through menopause that changes them for the rest of their lives?

If you are scientist honestly doing studies you will ensure your population, control group and study group are reflective of the real environment.

ON EDIT:

No wonder we are now finding that standard dosages of medicines for men and women have different effects. Sometimes to quite the detriment of women.
