Disagreeing wtih "facts"? What to do? (pre-med)

Please don't take this the wrong way, I mean to be very serious. What does one do when one disagrees with medicinal "facts"? The information is dominated by males. Don't get me wrong, I plan to practice, but when I came across this while reviewing biology for the MCAT in the PR Complete Mcat book on page 472, "The female does not experience ejaculation." And, I got really angry! Um, excuse me, can we please talk about this? Isn't this a hugely oppressive statement? I haven't even gotten into medical school yet!

How does one deal with this? When are we ever going to recognize that there is a lot about medicine that white males don't know? Does anyone who has been through medical school or in medical school had a discussion about this non-sense statement who could ease my pain please? Does one just learn that females never ejaculate? Seriously?

I'm getting a good whiff of one of these (mods, please arm banhammer):

God damn white males, causing all the problems in the world and oppressing poor old OP.

They sure as heck do something.

I completely agree, my physiology textbook says that Indian people have tentacles instead of legs. In my opinion this is just not true; it's a myth perpetuated by white males!

Can someone who has the TPR book confirm or deny this?

"The female does not experience ejaculation."

That is preposterous...all women except nuns & lesbians experience ejaculation at some point.

Simply contact the author, and tell her that she made a mistake.

I'm pretty sure there actually isn't a scientific consensus on this topic yet anyway, so technically neither of you are right

This might settle it:

There are > 1600 citations for femal ejaculation in Pubmed. But most have to do with the male side of the action. So 57 if you add "not male" to the search parameter.

I see my troll radar was accurate!

This wasn't a very hard one, though
