It's kind of seeing these issues that are kind of bubbling up because I just am reading all the time.
And
I started noticing that there started to be a lot written about health care and these inequities.
And, you know, for a while it really focused on menopause and how menopause had been such a taboo topic.
But I realized that really.
from puberty to old age, women have been dismissed and marginalized.
And the research about them has been so underfunded.
It is so, it was maddening.
And I kept reading, honestly, statistic after statistic.
And I saw how this impenetrable sexism
had really shaped our medical establishment and how scientific research has been conducted for decades, for decades, where women were really treated as small men with boobs.
And they weren't really studied because it was thought that their hormonal fluctuations would screw up the research.
So, I mean, I have had so many aha moments like this is insane.
that women weren't required to be included in clinical trials until 1993.
It wasn't until 10 years ago that scientists even differentiated between men and women in their studies.
Gosh, what else?
This is a really great statistic that really makes me pissed, that
Erectile dysfunction, which affects 19% of all men, has gotten five times as much funding as PMS, which affects 90% of all women.
Let's just take a minute, Katie.
Doesn't that say it all?
