      Can you imagine a world in which drugs or interventions are routinely not tested on men *at all* because not menstruating might effect the results? "Hi! We did not test this on half the population because they are half the population!" 😡 https://www.nytimes.com/2019/04/22/well/move/why-does-exercise-guard-against-cancer-inflammation-may-play-a-role.html …pic.twitter.com/yiAWSnTNqn

      We need Title IX for scientific research. If your study design casually excludes half of of humanity, go back and change your design unless, as happens rarely, it's actually necessary for the subject of the study (like studying prostate cancer). No women, no funding for research.

      Right, let's systematically eliminate men from scientific studies as "confounders" and see how far that gets.https://twitter.com/solimar2016/status/1120676334072549377 …

      In a study this small, you have to eliminate as many possible confounders as possible. This isn't sexist; it's good research.

          They should have used only women because men don’t menstruate.

          You’re paranoid af. Do you think this kind of research is centralized and controlled by some MRA billionaire or something?

          Something like a Title IX shouldn't be necessary, because studies like this are shit from an experimental design POV. Of course, the same argument applies to women in sport from a sportive/entertainment POV. So yeah. Also, FFS study 40 people and look at cohorts.

          It is ludicrous decisions to randomly remove “exceptions” like this that creates all of the issues we see in AI and ML—just because reality makes your solution more difficult to attain doesn’t mean you can simply ignore it.
