    Scientists have only just started to use actual women to test treatment on, instead of dismissing them as more complicated males.

    Like a month ago they just debuted the first woman sized crash test dummy. Turns out, there were some issues they’d been ignoring.

      So, until recently, do you honestly believe that they just didn’t test female contraceptives? Or do you think they tested them on males instead? Or maybe that argument is a little bit nonsense in this case because while women as a whole are underrepresented in medical testing, the idea that they never, ever, tested on women (especially in the case of drugs exclusively made for women) is a little bit of a ridiculous concept.

      Don’t try to pretend that treatments specifically for women are not tested on females.
