Women don't go bald in anything close to the same rates, and for their small numbers there are options (wigs are totally normal).

For a man, it's just "deal with it and shave it), or go in shame to a clinic to get an operation.

What's the issue with trying to fix male boldness? It's not like we have a finite capacity of one medical issue at a time.

As a male "suffering" from alopecia areata I know a thing or two about baldness.

There are more pressing issues in the world right now. Spending time and energy in fixing baldness for men seems wasteful to me.

You can make that same argument for many things. Why bother with space stuff? Or Antarctica? Or obesity treating drugs?

If the world was run by men, nobody would care about bald dudes.

And yet here we are!

Yeah. Anything being done to solve man’s issue is evil. No matter how much we gear the world towards favoring woman in school, academia, politics and work place, we have to insist we still are basically Saudi Arabia.

Being bald is not an issue. And wasting earthly resources to "fix" it is a waste of those resources, imho.

Well, I am not bald, but I surely can empathize with men (and there are bald women too) whose self-esteem suffered because of baldness.

Despite that, any product that cured baldness would command a sizable market and probably help to subsidize other lines of business not so promising while paying for itself.

I appreciate the empathy. Women are unfortunately not mentioned in the article which clearly headlines males, not females.

And I like your optimism about the trickle down benefits. Again I find myself believing that to be wishful thinking.
