  More Than Breasts and Babies

  While you make very valid points towards your position, I worry that you are only arguing semantics.  I believe the term "women's health" came to fruition during a period of time when people were really uncomfortable talking about issues relating to female reproductive health.  The expression "women's health" was more socially acceptable.  Remember, it would be years before one would see tampon commercials on TV, and even today the commercials are more comical or distracting than direct and to the point.  The medical community has branded these concerns as "women's health" but it does not stop them from looking at other issues that affect the health of women.  You may be right in wanting a different term for female reproductive health, but I don't agree that it really has any bearing on what research is done.  Both general female health and reproductive health need to be studied, and I don't share the concern that there is a focus only on issues relating to reproductive parts of women.  It's a false statement in my opinion.
