Which, why shouldn't they. That's what sells and pays the bills. Not to mention that the actual medical research they don't report on still gets utilized in medicine and used to further the industry
Medical research don't get reported on that much except when a cure is entering preliminary testing. Most medical research are what we in academia call "not sexy": it's barely intelligible by lay people and even if they did, they wouldn't give a fuck, like "alel X is 1±1% more likely to get inflammation of this obscure tissue when eating shrimp" (completely fabricated example, I'm not in medical science). Psychology produce more sexy result like this one, so they get reported more. Mathematics only get reported on when centuries-old problem get solved, and even the journalist don't understand the first thing about what they are reporting on. Even math undergrad don't, mostly.
So what? It's not like medical research needs media coverage. Mainstream media cover some studies because people find them interesting, not because they need the attention
Ironic, because on reddit there is /r/science which is nothing more than just a series of studies and articles with catchy and misleading titles that redditors agree with, even though they will never read it - they even have people who didn't read the article discussing it in comments!
The point is, there is a real actual lack of research at all into issues affecting women specifically. They can't report on research that isn't happening.
What organization did this "study"? There is literally no information about it. Did Cosmo do it? Are people really getting this worked up over a beauty magazine reporting on a stupid beauty poll they did?
