FrozenXylophone 10/25/19 4:21:32 PM #1:	https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2019/10/24/health/stds-are-sexist-against-women-wellness/index.html STDs are sexist, and women are the losers. Here's why America is in the middle of an epidemic of sexually transmitted infections, and when it comes to heterosexual transmission, it's hitting women the hardest. Why is that? Simply put, because "STDs are biologically and psycho-socially sexist at all levels," said Dr. Hunter Handsfield, a professor emeritus of medicine at the University of Washington Center for AIDS and STD who has studied sexually transmitted diseases for 40 years. "Women bear the largest burden of these diseases," agreed Dr. Edward Hook, co-director of the Center for Social Medicine and Sexually Transmitted Diseases at the University of Alabama at Birmingham. "Chlamydia and gonorrhea, for example, are two of the leading preventable causes of infertility and ectopic pregnancies in the United States, and on Earth." Easily transmitted, more dangerous One reason STDs are sexist: In heterosexual pairings, they are more readily transmitted from the man to the woman than from the woman to the man. Yet another reason STDs are sexist: Symptoms are often more nonspecific in women, and can be mistakenly written off as a typical female annoyance. Couldn't copy much of the article because alot of the terminology and process is something mods would mod you over as I learned the time I discussed a particular bread product. But you can click it and read as they give reasons for why it effects women these ways. <cite>FrozenXylophone posted [p:929233812] in CNN: (not ...

The Catgirl Fondler 10/25/19 5:20:33 PM #24:	Er, not much that can be done about how STDs work though, and it's not like they were created specifically to target women either. At most it would be an argument for more female protection options (and to make those protections more freely available), but I'm not sure what more can be made that's not on the market already, and ready availability is currently tied up in the same hand as contraceptives and other medical costs.
