I'm not sure, but I think a lot of it is marketing. I'm not sure about the numbers but I have a feeling there are more stay at home moms then there are dads. Commercials during the day are highly targeted at this demographic and its possible that this is where most of the misinformation comes from.
Also, I know women are proven more emotional than men. Does this also encompass the "spiritual" side of things (a trait which a lot of alternative medicines have)?
- illuminate 14y agoThe stay at home mom thing does make a lot of sense, there's a strong homeschooling mindset among extremely left-wing moms and extremely right-wing moms, and both tend to be very into CAM.
