There was a video where male OB/Gyno doctor had tens unit on him emulating Endo pain. He quit after like three cramps! They should make it mandatory for them to wear it for at least three days to even get an idea.
This is statistically true. I work in healthcare and most studies are conducted on male sample sizes. Funding is put in the hands of men and funds male studies as a result. Illnesses manifest in men differently than women. There needs to be more women leading research that benefits women.

Invisible Women by Caroline Criado Perez has a chapter on this. It’s very depressing. Men are the default for the design of pretty much the whole world, including the entire medical system.

Of any gender.

The maternal mortality rate is much higher for black women too which is terrifying.
