Women's Health
Most American women’s health issues are addressed by a group
of men who decide on behalf of women what is best for them – typically
a white male, who has never experienced a menstruation, never experienced
menopause, never experienced domestic abuse, and never experienced
child birth.
In addition, it is these same men who "legislate" research
for women's health issues -- they have no desire to truly educate
themselves on the unique issues we encounter as women. We so desparately
need to get some quality women (this is NOT the
adjective
I would
use
for
Colorado's
Marilyn
Musgraves) voted into office at all levels of our government to
ensure that our issues are truly addressed.
There are some good websites available that address the issues
of women’s health from women’s perspective – women
of all colors, nationalities, and sexual orientations.
