It really surprises me that women's needs were neglected when mens' erectile dysfunction was quickly addressed back in the 90s.

But back then few women were on road bikes. Perhaps this is why it took so long for this article to appear.

Another factor is that bike shops are heavily male. It's quite understandable that women don't want to discuss their saddle anatomy with bike shop staff.

I encourage doing a bit of reading about the mistreatment of women in US medicine in the 90s and beyond, specifically with regards to how doctors disregard complaints of pain from women (and continue to do so to this day). Most women have stories of how a doctor blew them off when they sought medical help for pain and/or disfigurement concerns, especially with regards to any body parts not commonly possessed by men.
