Well outside of breast and ovarian cancer for obvious reasons, most mouse models tend to be male to eliminate the variable of the hormone cycle. But if some effect is actually influenced by that cycle you just ensured you will never find it. I’m also not sure how similar the mouse hormone cycle is to humans.
- catigula 1y agoCompletely different argument.
- kjkjadksj 1y agoIt was an example of research on women’s health being underfunded or underresearched.
- catigula 1y agoNo, it was a non-sequitur argument after having your core premise disproven with an extremely common and well-known example of women's health being extremely well-funded. You even carved out special pleading by trying to exempt it.
- askvictor 1y agoAlso, we're now finding males have a hormonal cycle, but it's less obvious or predictable than females' so those variables have probably been in there all along, just unknown.
