These sorts of studies, on medicine, economics, etc. get a lot of coverage in the Guardian and on the BBC.

I'm always left with the impression that they wouldn't give a shit if they weren't affecting women.

I agree that there's very often a "world ending, women most effected" tone in the media, but... doesn't this article explicitly go against that? It's not complaining that women aren't being equally enticed to throw away their money gambling.

You're commenting on a study that says something is affecting mainly men.
