why did they have to be nulliparous

It will be because having had children is a confounding factor. You would need a whole separate study to find out if women who are mothers are taken less seriously (whether or not they are also ‘hot’ 🙄). There’s a shit-ton wrong with this study, but that’s actually sound methodology

I would be extremely interested in the ethical approval and funding processes for this. Plus the authors should answer for it.

Flowers sinkgirl so sorry you’re suffering.

Why did they have to be nulliparous

With this level of ignorant sexism, they probably think mums can’t be hot.

For actual fucking fucks sake.

Really, REALLY disappointed to see that the comment about 50% of his wives being endo hotties is from Dr David Redwine, who has always been a great advocate for women getting good treatment for endo (endopaedia.info). David, the fuck you thinking, man?

I could swing for these researchers. Endo is poorly understood, badly treated, dismissed as period pain and wrecks women’s lives and it needs to be taken seriously.

My infiltrating recto-vaginal endometriosis took 10 years of my life, years lost to chronic pain and suffering, to repeated surgeries, some of them botched, the last one taking eight hours when finally a competent surgeon painstakingly cut every last scrap of the evil disease out of me, and I still suffer the after effect of the disease and the treatments to this day. It cost £20,000 to get that surgery. The NHS don’t do it.

To the researchers: fuck you for sniggering at women like this. Do some proper research that might help stop women’s lives being wrecked.

FFS

I wonder if people realise just how little research funding is given to this disease, despite the fact that it affects 10% of all women.

There’s no money to investigate why I’ve been in agony for 25 years, but someone’s funding this?

FUCK OFF. FUCK OFF AND DIE.

Before I read it I wondered if it was as about doctors possibly taking “attractive” patients more seriously, which means get have been interesting.

And now I’ve read it I’m OMG, kill all the researchers and salt the earth they stood on.

Not a spoof, www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0015028212021279

BitOfFun · 16/08/2019 03:39

I'm pretty sure it's a spoof study, from the reactions on twitter.

NotYourCisterinAus · 16/08/2019 02:52

As an endometriosis sufferer, this gives me The Rage. The same rage I had when a doctor told me, "It's just period pain". WTF??

OccasionalKite · 16/08/2019 00:31

Is there any branch of men's health, where their "attractiveness" would ever, even, occur?

31RueCambon · 16/08/2019 00:13

Wow. The man defending this, what value is there to this link, for women, for medics, pharmaceutical companies? Finding this link, no, consciously searching for a link, that is definitely sexist!

nocoolnamesleft · 16/08/2019 00:10

How the hell would that get past an ethics committee?

I liked this users response -
“My takeaway: women deemed unattractive by current conventional standards are ignored or misdiagnosed when they report their symptoms.”

I saw this and thought the same
