    Not true. Most studies nowadays include male & female participants - and more research focuses on exclusively female than exclusively male issues

    The real bias is against normal human beings. Nursing/medical students and medical professionals are vastly overrepresented amongst study participants - and young people. These groups of people are much healthier than the average human being. Steps have been taken to address this too, but it is slow going.
