If you have to rely on your sex to get a citation or publication, you should be ashamed of yourself... If someone nominated one of my books for a gender-based prize, I would tell them to stick it.

Is the reviewer medically qualified in their own right to make these sort of recommendations with respect to the use of prescription medicines or are they basing their opinions solely on this one book?
