Yes, but the whole point is that drugs tests done on "the stable male" may not yield appropriate data for using those same drugs on females at any point in their cycle, or even when prepubescent or post menopause. The solution to the problem might be to carry out entirely separate test protocols on men and women, but that is more expensive. Got to up the prices because you can't reduce the profits.

Science is biased as hell when it comes to women's health.

So we are agreed then?
Take my advice, don't listen to me.

Yes, so long as you agree the matter is more complex than merely where a woman is in her reproductive cycle.

I wouldn't use "merely" when referring to woman's business.

The "merely" was to imply this was the only consideration - nothing trivial about womens' repro cycles as I understand what I have been told!
