What is the reason that endometriosis gets little attention or funding?

I recently learnt about this disease i had no idea existed. Millions of women get endometriosis, a chronic disease that causes lifetime pain that makes it impossible to live a normal life. It is the most common disease in the female reproductive system.

But the cause of it is a mystery because it has barely been studied. Most people don't know about it. It has very little research funding to find a cure. It is funded less than diabetes, HIV, many minor diseases, and even male pattern baldness.

>women
there's your answer
men don't get affection and a sense of belonging, so women don't get medicine
it's ancient patriarchal tradition

This reads like the "Spot Bleeding" sketch from 1980s Saturday Night Live.

There was a guy on Weekend Update complaining about a rare medial condition he had called "Spot Bleeding" that wasn't being taken seriously by the medical community. The news anchor asked the guest if he was wearing a new shirt. He said yes and the anchor asked if he remembered to take out all of the little pins used to keep the shirt nicely folded. The joke worked in that era because most men still wore dress shirts and most dress shirts had tons of little pins in them as part of the packaging process. The audience of the time understood this so the joke worked. Today it would likely fall flat.

By being a woman I know about this disease ever since I was a teen. Glad I don't have it. Anyway nowadays there's birth control pills that massively reduce endometriosis symptoms, that's your research.

But there is medicine and research. You're just retarded

yes, and there is some men who aren't abrasive assholes due to intellectualized alienation all the time, but exceptions make the rule

the tl;dr is it seems to have molecular features similar to many carcinomas

women already live 5 years more than men on average
their diseases should be studied even *less*
