Thanks, it's meant to be ironic. There are only guesses all around based on a numbers with a similar ratio of 5 cases for women physicians and 700 for men. How can this be considered serious reporting? If the numbers favored men, we wouldn't be having this conversation for a number of reasons.

There hasn't been thousands of years of gender bias in favor of women so it's expected that results that show men are better than women in some areas are not necessarily newsworthy. Sometimes such results are newsworthy.

  You miss my point. No statistician worth his salt would ever consider these numbers relevant, Yet here it it's all over the news. Why the over compensation for women? A whole story making women out to be superior to men in some way with trash to back it up. Why? If women are capable, give them props. Don't make up stuff based on horrible data.
