Actually the history of why they think that is probably steeped in the horrors of how what little info they do have was obtained. Involuntary operations without anaesthetic on any women of colour and white mental health facility patients, graverobbing, you name it and it was probably done. Also, the decades of not including women as subjects in medical research even when it specifically applied to the female reproductive system didn't help.
