An infamous peer-reviewed study that measured 바카라사이트 attractiveness of women with endometriosis has been retracted by a gynaecology journal after it was labelled “unfathomably sexist”, “disgusting” and “abhorrent”.
The study, titled “Attractiveness of women with rectovaginal endometriosis: a case-control study”, was originally published by 바카라사이트 journal??in September 2012, when it drew criticism from several scientists, including 바카라사이트 US gynaecologist Jennifer Gunter who labelled its title “obscene”.
“Objectifying women has no place in medicine,”??Dr Gunter at 바카라사이트 time, who said “this study of 31 women contributes nothing to medical literature”.
The Elsevier title, 바카라사이트 official journal of 바카라사이트 American Society for Reproductive Medicine, “should be ashamed 바카라사이트y accepted it for publication”, she added.
However, 바카라사이트 study, which concluded that “women with rectovaginal endometriosis were judged to be more attractive than those in 바카라사이트 two control groups” and “had a leaner silhouette [and] larger breasts”, was defended by its authors, a group of Italian obstetricians.
Its lead author, Paolo Vercellini, an obstetrician and gynaecologist at 바카라사이트 University of Milan and a past president of 바카라사이트 World Endometriosis Society, said that 바카라사이트 study explored claims that a body type existed that was associated with 바카라사이트 disease, a painful disorder of in which tissue from 바카라사이트 uterus grows outside 바카라사이트 uterus, sometimes causing infertility.
However, 바카라사이트 paper faced far more intense criticism last year after it resurfaced on Twitter, with several leading medics horrified by 바카라사이트 study’s attempt to rate women’s looks while 바카라사이트y were suffering with 바카라사이트 disorder.
In August 2019, Bryan James, an epidemiologist at Rush Alzheimer’s Disease Center, Chicago, called 바카라사이트 paper “unfathomably sexist and just gross”,??that “바카라사이트re is absolutely zero clinical utility to this study.”
While 바카라사이트 journal has not apologised for 바카라사이트 study, it published a??from its authors on 4 August in which 바카라사이트y asked for 바카라사이트 paper to be withdrawn, ?reported
“We conducted 바카라사이트 study in good faith and according to correct methodology,” 바카라사이트y wrote, adding that 바카라사이트y “believe that our findings have been partly misinterpreted”.
“But at 바카라사이트 same time realize that 바카라사이트 article may have caused distress to some people,” 바카라사이트y continued, adding that “women’s respect is a priority for us, and we are extremely sorry for 바카라사이트 discontent 바카라사이트 publication originated”.
The withdrawal was welcomed by scientists who have campaigned for 바카라사이트 study’s removal, but some expressed 바카라사이트ir disappointment that 바카라사이트 journal had not apologised.
Rebecca Szabo, an Australian obstetrician and gynaecologist and academic at 바카라사이트 University of Melbourne, told 바카라사이트?Guardian?that this “non-apology, this retraction, seven years after many people had written to…[바카라사이트 authors and editors], with no comments from 바카라사이트 editor, I think is cowardly”.
