I was excited to read this study until I got to the sample...all men. So while the headline generalizes the findings, they actually have no idea about how exercise changes saturated fat metabolism in women because they did not study women. When reading studies, always look at the sample. Even today women are being excluded from health studies.

Amy Diehl, Ph.D. (amydiehl@mstdn.social)'s status on Friday, 05-Apr-2024 17:29:52 JST Amy Diehl, Ph.D. In Texas, "health insurance is only required to cover fertility treatments when a patient is married and using their spouse’s sperm." So if you are single, LGBTQ+, or have a husband who doesn't have viable sperm, you are deemed unworthy to have children.

The perception is that IVF is primarily used by lesbians, single women & women who waited until their 30s to marry.

- drug out the lawsuit for 13 yrs
- subpoenaed 5 companies that employed plaintiffs for perf evals & negative reports
The $215M figure won't persuade financial firms from cleaning up pay inequity and sexual harassment. As I told Susan Antilla, "The only thing that seems to stop employers dead in their tracks is public exposure."
