After all, why would you need to do that if there wasn't a bias? Plus I wasn't just talking about publication. The research itself in these fields have been highly male-centric
For instance medical trials

the key is, of course, highly make centric research produces a body of research results that is not as widely applicable as possible, but in areas where they are applicable, they remain just as valid,
even more importantly, in areas neglected by male centered research, faith based alternatives does not budge from its total bullshit status even if biased research did not deign to actually come to find a better one.
Steve Jobs had faith in alternative medicine, for about 9 months, and, then, reality began to set in.
