I don’t really buy this claim. I think there are also examples of this the other way round (eg endometriosis affects many women but little research was done into it for a long time and people were turned away being told they were just imagining their pain instead of being given a diagnosis).
I don’t think I’m in a good position to guess at which sex is treated worse by medical research but I don’t think it’s obviously men.
- ericmay 7y agoI’m not sure medical research treats one gender better than the other - not something I have a strong opinion about. But if the person you’re responding to is truthful, it’s odd that if the rates were similar why we only hear about one of the two groups being affected, isn’t it? I think if you search you can find a lot of these across both sexes, actually. I’m not sure what the cause of throat HPV is, but if it’s oral sex on women maybe that reveals a societies taboo. It’s so taboo that we are willing to let people die rather than admit it. Anyway just a few thoughts as I was skimming the posts here.
- sadfklsjlkjwt 7y agoAs far a public health is concerned it's settled fact and has been for some years. The main risk seems to be for men that have sex with men rather than oral sex with women. Men that have sex with men can now (finally) get the vaccine on the NHS up to the age of 35.
