We haven't put any effort into women's sexual health the way that it deserves.

And so it's really effort.

It's rolling up our sleeves and doing the work.

And everyone wants the work to magically happen, but it's like, I want my kitchen to be clean, but unless I sort of roll up my sleeves or my husband rolls up his sleeves and we actually clean the kitchen, it's not going to get done.

And research is no different.

We can pray and want it to be better for women, but I need those...

people to go into basic science.

I need them to go into advanced clinical science.

I need them to do more research.

I need them to get funding.

I need PhDs to come work with us.

I need interested industry partners to get excited and interested.

This is half the population.

So there is money to be made here from an industry perspective, but you have to do the work and the science deserves the work.

Women deserve science.

They don't realize it because all they've ever gotten is snake oil, but they need good science and we need to invest in that just like we have for men.

So it's not a fluke that, oh, look, we have 27 products for men for sexual health.

Of course we do.

We studied it.

We bothered to look at it.
