""We've practiced medicine as though only a woman's breasts, uterus and ovaries made her unique--and as though her heart, brain and every other part of her body were identical to those of a man," says Marianne J. Legato, M.D., a cardiologist at Columbia University who spearheads the new push on gender differences."

This sentence really stood out to me. Not just is political correctness dangerous to our school system, it's also dangerous to our health and to science. And by health, I mean everyone's health - male or female.

Why did this cardiologist used to practice medicine based on the premiss that "only a woman's breasts, uterus and ovaries made her unique"? Why, assumably, do many doctors and researchers *still* practice on this false premiss? Because doing otherwise is politically incorrect because it might offend feminists to show that what they are saying is wrong. because many go through an education system where these values are drilled into their brains as undeniable truth. Heaven help those who think for themselves and seek the truth.

Reading this article, I note there's strong evidence to show that there are fundemental differences between the way male and female bodies work. To a Christian, this is no suprise, our Creator intended males and females to be good at different things. However, to leftist who thinks that all people are absolutely equal, this ammounts to herracy.

These leftists would rather have people die than support the findings of impartial scientists who are proving their politically correct world view wrong. Feminists, especially, would rather see women die or suffer than have their theories - which supposedly "help women" - be proven wrong.

It's time to cut political correctness out of medicine and out of our schools. Lives are at stake. More power to those who seek the truth in the face of political correctness and political pressure.

The dange I see is that this will be used to justify feminist objectives. (such as 60% female universtiy population, Ritalin for young boys, etc.)
