Evidence based medicine isn’t the patriarchy. Choosing a therapy without knowing the supporting data or lack of data isn’t an informed choice. You can’t get unbiased health information from someone selling product. A randomized double blinded trial shows Reiki isn’t effective.

Our knowledge of syphilis is tainted by decades of racism. Still, gotta use the penicillin.

I get what Jen is trying to say though. EBM is steeped in / tainted by patriarchy but isn't directly a tool of patriarchy. It's not itself a system of oppression, but a medium through which it can be perpetuated. Like education that way.

Every institution is affected by patriarchy, but the principle of evidence based medicine is not patriarchal

If that was true we would not have trials that were so male focused. It would not take years for women to be diagnosed because we “emotional”. I could go on however I think I made my point

Feminism isn’t about trusting your ‘inner self’ over the medical literature and evidence. Telling a woman that she is wrong about alt medicine is no more sexist than telling a man. Believing a woman’s intuition over medical evidence is wrong.

Are we going to tell the Ten Month mamas, that they risk stillbirth a dead baby, or not. because they insist their mommy instincts are correct. So a male doctor can’t comment on woman’s issues and a female doctor who does is some traitor?

"TBH, there is quite a bit of patriarchy in EBM." Prove it. Confusing real problems with evidence and the current state of clinical & biomedical research with political correctness is unfounded at best.
