Gender Inequality and its Relationship with Sexual Dysfunction Drugs Susan Elwood Monmouth University Abstract This paper looks to discuss and expand on a news article and two other published articles which report on the lack of Federal Drug Administration (FDA) approval for a sildenafil drug or â€Å"female Viagra†. The articles remain constant in the description of what this drug would provide for women. However, they differ in describing the reasons why a drug has not been approved so far. For example, Thielen believes that efforts in the past have been rejected because of concerns relating to the possible side-effects that would come with a drug that would treat female sexual dysfunction (Thielen, 2014). Sifferlin also agrees that there must be more Federal Drug Administration (FDA) research before a pill will be widely accepted (Sifferlin, 2014). Also she feels that female sexual dysfunction is more complex than that with male sexual dysfunction because most cases are due to daily life stressors rather than a biological dysfunction (Thielen, 2014). Dvorak disagrees with this entir ely and believes that these generalizations made about women and the reasons for their lack of sexual desire having to do with emotions are because of gender stereotypes and rigid, antiquated gender roles (Dvorak, 2014). This paper examines Dvorak’s claims about gender inequality and how it is affecting the lack of options for women when it comes to treating sexual dysfunctionShow MoreRelatedThe Social Phenomenon Of Female Juvenile Prostitution Essay1652 Words   |  7 PagesIn order to understand prostitution, it is necessary to understand: 1.
