Because female sexual enjoyment is not necessary for human reproduction, unlike male pleasure.

Male orgasms are necessary for the species to survive.

Female orgasms are not.

"We have 27 fellowships in men's sexual health. We have one that even acknowledges women's sexual health".

Easy answer, but strange derailment into TRA territory. I partially read this as “We want to look at sexual organs as pleasure centers for ‘women’ now that some of them are really men…”

I wanted more substance from the article, but there’s some good insight into the types of fellowships available at least.
