Over the last three years, Sarah Eddy and Daniel Grunspan have asked over 1,700 biology undergraduates at the University of Washington to name classmates whom they thought were “strong in their understanding of classroom material.”
The results were worrying but predictable. The male students underestimated their female peers, over-nominating other men over better-performing women. Put it this way: To the men in these classes, a woman would need to get an A to get the same prestige as a man getting a B. “A lot of people make the assumption that issues of gender in biology are gone because so many women enroll,” says Eddy. 10 Stupid Arguments People Use To Defend Comic Book Sexism. 8 Things Some A$$#ole Says in Every Debate About Sexism.

Ectopic pregnancies, exploding gifts from God at some Catholic hospitals. An ectopic pregnancy is a pregnancy that implants outside of the uterus.
It occurs in approximately 1% of conceptions. It typically grows in the fallopian tube, but rarely an ectopic pregnancy can grow in the ovary or cervix.

This is how women die from ectopic pregnancies, they bleed to death. The recommended treatment for an ectopic pregnancy is surgical removal or systemic methotrexate (a cancer drug that kills the rapidly dividing trophoblasts, which are in many ways like cancer cells). 5 Reasons Why We Need to Stop Thinking of Skinny-Shaming as 'Reverse Discrimination'
