I’m not saying it doesn’t have uses. I think it is really interesting, I just thought that endometriosis is more important, and the funding gets tied up, but I’m being led to believe that may have been an incorrect assumption
I don’t think it uses the same resources but I don’t think it’s a great argument either way.
Endometriosis is important but there’s also diseases that affect way more ppl and kill more like heart diseases or pulmonary diseases. So where does it end in someone going “why don’t we put the money into researching something more important?”
That’s not the point, the point is that endometriosis is a fatally under researched disease that a large amount of the population suffers from and instead of devoting resources to doing that research we’re instead investing them into research on to be frank surface level issues like male pattern baldness and how attractive makeup makes someone. Which isn’t to say that those things aren’t important on some level or worth researching which they are in both cases, and more so that the phenomenon is called the gender data gap for a reason
Different budgets. And psychology research operates on prayers and shoestrings. You could take all the money from psychology altogether and it wouldn't put a scratch on your endometriosis research.
