- W340306713 abstract "The Health of Men & Women by Sarah Payne. Cambridge: Polity Press, 2006, 224 pp. There has been a striking and fundamentally important change in the way we approach the subject of men's and women's health over the past two decades. The use of men as study subjects and prototypes of the entire human race is gradually being replaced by a careful investigation of the unique properties and characteristics of men and women, respectively. This sea change was the consequence of an aggressive feminist movement, which pushed the American medical community and policy-makers to abandon the virtually exclusive concentration on males as subjects of clinical investigation and to study women directly. The result was an invaluable and almost completely unexpectedly rich harvest of information about the distinctively different nature of women and men's normal physiology, and their experience of the same diseases. An ever-increasing proportion of our medical information based on a view of the human race as essentially homogeneous has been re-examined, expanded, corrected, and refined by direct testing of the two sexes. For almost all of the last twenty years, the emphasis has been on an examination of women. In much of the scientific community, however, there was and still is a sense that the effort and expense of studies to assess the effect of sex and gender on data were unnecessary and wasteful. Others regard the interest in sex-specific research as politically and socially motivated rather than essential to a more accurate understanding of human biology. In spite of the inevitable resistance to change, especially when it requires considerable expense, effort and (in the case of women) risk, the growing body of unexpected and stunningly important data about the differences between men and women has given us new, unprecedented power to answer questions we otherwise never would even have framed about the nature of disease and how to prevent and treat it more effectively. In the introduction to her scholarly treatise on the health of the sexes, Sarah Payne has done an excellent job of pointing out two of the most important issues in this new era. The first is the difficulty of teasing out the hard-wired and immutable biological differences between men and women, and the consequences of these differences on the societies and cultures in which individuals live their lives. Each society values men and women differently, offers them different resources, and assigns them different roles. All of these practices affect the final phenotype. …" @default.
