Certainly it’s most important to keep studying and reading,
going to sources that one wouldn’t do ordinarily, because stuff never even
considered shows up as really important. I’m saying this as an ancient citizen
from experience. The effect that denying gender causes pain, suffering and
death to women because of medicines prescribed to them is one of them.
Regardless of what feminists, PC psychologists and psychiatrists, scared neurosurgeons and neuro researchers, are saying about there being no difference between men and women, when it comes to dosage between the two genders, when no adjustment is made, women suffer and sometimes die. With the side effects of that sometimes women have accidents and people get killed.
For example, in 2013 the Food and Drug Administration (FDA)
cut the dosage in half for Ambien, having known for 20 years women metabolized
the active ingredient zolpidem more slowly than men. That and a sleeping pill,
Restoril, may have caused about 500,000 early deaths; from overdoses, car
crashes and falls.
I’m ancient enough to remember the Thalidomide tragedy of
the 1950’s. The research on the effects were primitive. An FDA scientist,
Frances Oldham Kelsey, for years did research on it, and it took years of her
collecting data before anyone accepted something really bad was happening. This
drug, by the way, was for morning sickness during pregnancy. Women in Europe
were taking it, and about 2,000 children died, and about 10,000 were born with
defects; no or partial limbs. The lab tests for this drug on animals were only on male animals. (Fortunately the FDA didn’t approve it. Knowing their track record and
corruption, we can only thank chance.)
From that time until 2014, in all tests and studies, it
was never mentioned in reports that almost exclusively male animals were
tested on. Even when tests were done for female specific diseases, only 12% of
the animals tested were female. Excuse given was there are too many things,
like chemical responses, to test for variables.
That’s the base. Drugs designed for women were rarely tested
on women. The FDA approved these, causing a lot of damage to women.
Which brings us to the present. There are differences in
brain hemispheres, and how left and right brain interact. There are differences
between brain parts, like the hypothalamus and hippocampus, different baseline
amounts of neurotransmitters (serotonin and dopamine).
If you’re a neuroscientist, or neurosurgeon, and you point
this out, you’re labeled as a ‘neurosexist’ and your report on findings are ‘neurotrash’.
Your study can be blocked from science
journals, you can lose funding. This is done by anti-gender feminists and other
various PC people, none of whom have any neuroscience education or training. They
are usually people from the “soft sciences” like sociology and psychology.
Even with hard science data stating that because a man came
up with the results, it’s biased and by definition sexist. They believe reality
is different for men and women. I have a hard time squaring this with their
argument there is no differences between the sexes; or that there is more than one gender.
Another charge that just stuns, is that unless a
neuroscientist has been trained or had classes in “gender scholarship” their
hard science findings are invalid. This is scary stuff, and for some reason the
non-gender, anti-science people have been able to get such power scientists are
afraid to speak out, though a few have.
At the core of “gender scholarship” is “intersectionality”.
I’ve heard the term before, and still have a hard time wrapping my mind around
it. Here’s the definition: “…the principle that important social identities
like gender, ethnicity, and social class mutually constitute, reinforce, and
naturalize one another”. I think what that means is one must take race over
gender (black over white), female over male, and class (poor over rich). White
males I’m sure are at the bottom of this fabricated hierarchy. Apparently hard
science results are unacceptable unless “intersectionality” theory is applied.
As a result we have women overdosing on meds, having
increased traffic accidents (involving others), and incorrect or ineffective
medical treatment. All because PC Totalitarians that have power and don’t know
what they’re talking about are forcing the people that do know what they are
talking about to do their bidding or suffer the consequences.
