It's been a long time since I talked to anyone who actually believed that, so let me go back to my notes . Some of my books are loaned-out, so I'll reply to your question about funding for men's vs women's health issues as soon as I can find it.


While I'm doing that, can you please provide some evidence that men's health issues get more funding than women's? Because I never heard even the most radical feminist make that claim -just that women never get enough.

Focus: Funding for breast cancer research versus prostate cancer research. They both have approximately the same mortality rates. Which gets more funding?
