    Drug effects. Prescription or recreational

    So more men do drugs but women OD way more?

    Well it's side effects. So a lot of people don't know this but a lot of prescription drugs only ever ran trials on white men. As you probably know. Men are typically physically larger than women and have a different muscle to fat ratio.

    So it's actually more common for women to have side effects from a lot of these drugs because the dosage is not adjusted for women.

    Also. Toxic masculinity. Men are told not to complain about things like this. Even though they should. Men have a shorter life span and visit doctors less, coincidence?

    wondering why that would be a primarily "female reason" for admission, then - wouldn't drugs that impact breathing or muscles be administered or accessible to men as well?

    Someone else suggested date rape drugs, that seems like a possibility - but is it typical for date rape drugged victims to end up in the hospital such that "agents acting on muscles and breathing" becomes the reason for admission? Just doesn't make sense, tbh

    To be fair, white males are the default of humanity...

    Even drugs for kids have mostly just been tested on adult white men.

    They say it's unethical to do drug testing on kids. So instead we just give millions of kids drugs that were never tested on them.

    why would this be a "female" reason to be admitted to the hospital?

    Because guys are too fucking dumb to go to the hospital for something like not being able to breathe. I'm sure the statistic couldn't breathe, tried to walk it off, regained consciousness the next morning in a ditch next to road, just went home, is probably just as full of guys as the other statistic was full of girls.
