I kind of think the burden is on you to read both your posts and mine. Let’s start with this
You pretty much said exactly this. Let’s play back the tape
So, you kind of have to pick one of those and go with it. Now that we’ve read your posts together, let’s read mine:
There are all sorts of things one could do solve a variety of menstrual symptoms. Some of those things (e.g. basic science research) are not pathways that will get people rich. Some of them are (e.g. someone coming up with a new drug that is targeted at a well elucidated pathway). This is in contrast to the initial example of uterine transplants, where it would really be hard to come up with a plausible way for someone who comes up with a the major breakthrough to get rich.
I then get even more specific as it seems you’re quite confused about how all of this works.
To counter that you give an article loaded with examples of people who can’t plausibly get rich from the type of research that they are describing (and let’s not forget that was your original point " This shit would make trillions") and no examples of people who actually could make literal or even figurative trillions.
This isn’t just a problem with menstrual issues. It is a fairly well known problem that pharmaceutical companies have little interest in pursuing drugs or treatments that aren’t going to make them any money. Take one example in the article you posted: sildenafil. Why would Pfizer spend any money to research that. If they found it to be useful, anyone can buy it over the internet from India or China for almost nothing. Sure, they would have some benefit because some people would get the drug through them, but very likely it would not be enough for them to recoup the costs of getting a new FDA indication approved (which is massive).
What a company like Pfizer will do is look for some sort of new drug that will address that kind of problem. Here is an example of that:
Now I’ve got some Netflix to watch, so I’m not going to do your homework for you, but it should be obvious to you if Pfizer can get an FDA approved indication for Relugolix for endometriosis and get insurers to cover it, they will in fact make a fuckton of money. And guess what? They are actually researching it!
Are there misogynists making decisions at Pfizer? Probably. Would those misogynists set that aside to make a fat pile of cash. Sure looks like it!
So, just to make it crystal clear, pharmabro misogynists are absolutely fine at looking into cures for any women’s health issue that will make them a lot of money. If it won’t they aren’t.
People who give out grants from non-profits or the government can’t really “make trillions” so that incentive (which, once again is what you brought up) is irrelevant to them and any misogynists there will just keep on doing the misogyny.
