Feds to Spend $10 Million for ‘Gender Equity’ in Animal Testing

Story here. Excerpt:

'The National Institutes of Health is earmarking $10 million to ensure there is “gender equity” issue when using mice for medical research. Seriously.

There is a “gender bias” in medical testing, apparently.
...
The claim is that by conducting testing only on male rodents, the results potentially didn’t hold for female humans.'

Yes. We're too selective about what mice we torture. We want to be sure that female as well as male mice are tortured to death.

Wonder what Feminists for Animal Rights has to say about this.

. . . it's fine to subject only male human fetuses to experimentation. That, apparently, is "ethical". SMDH.
