The study later got retracted due to backlash but the fact that it happened at all if fucking baffling.

Don’t forget this study that instead of studying the causes or cures for endo studied the mental effects of the men in a relationship with someone who has endo.

    I wonder what was the trigger for that…

    Like: “Look at those women for the medical trial! They are all straight 10s, we have to get to the bottom of this!” or “My ex got this and she was ugly as hell. I wonder if that is the reason”

      I think the meme explains it just fine, that it’s more that the people doing the research and funding the research are simply more interested in that topic, for some reason, than in helping women.

      As in the trigger is simply their base level objectification of women and didn’t need an inciting incident. If there was some trigger it’d be boring shit like them reading that the condition correlates with breast size or whatever.
