Medical science is in fact terribly biased against women because the standard baseline is almost always a typical male body (lemmy.world)

Yes, I know what it means. That’s why the headline is bit misleading.

The headline is of course misleading, but not really for the reasons you pointed out. Nobody is going to read that headline and think it means 93% of gynecological research is conducted on men. Some people might read it and think it means 93% of medical research overall is conducted on men, though.
