“It’s very friendly,” said @elisabethbik.bsky.social of Bluesky, where her followers already number over 20,000. “Maybe a little bit too friendly." Thoughtful piece by @katiepalmer.bsky.social for @statnews.bsky.social on a trend many of us are part of.

Every single study into human things like heart attacks, strokes, whatever - studied men exclusively first. You know the symptoms of a heart attack (left arm numbess chest pain) that's the MALE symptoms. All health centers that are 'womens' use men as default.
