The canon is dominated by books written by men, about men, and for men - the male voice is therefore not a particularly difficult one to impersonate.
Clearly, products for women are not as well scrutinized as products for men. It appears they never tested the implants in breast tissue and that they received decades of complaints from women. It's the kind of stuff that makes you want to scream!
