      The healthcare industry has a very well known history of just ignoring women. Many treatments for women-centric illnesses were tested on just men, because dealing with women’s cyclic hormone was deemed “too hard”, and make test subjects were just easier. Until shockingly recently.

      This isn’t “men bad”, it’s patriarchy bad, including for men.

      To be fair this is more industry specific than just motivated by some sense of misandry.

      It’s specifically doctors. And medicine is still biased as fuck.
