Gentlemen.... don't forget to take your little blue pill so you don't forget to take your little blue pill.

Once you read the whole article it's clear the title is click bate - sorta.
Never says whether any women were involved in the study. It's just recently that more studies on the impact of things on women's health are now under way.
Sadly most of what the medical profession bases it's ideas and treatments on were studies done using primarily men, white men. Um, wonder were they Christian.

How would a man taking viagra affect a woman's health?

@TheoryNumber3 Well . . . . . don't get me started.
Anyway, it just got me a bit pissy with the medical profession in general. The morning coffee has yet to kick in.

@TheoryNumber3 Because women are left out of the studies.

@Mooolah Well they don't include men in studies on birth control pills either, and for good reason

@silverotter11 I know the feeling 🙂
