#2Cycling with balls is far worse then labia. I've done both.
Get yourself a nice pair of women's cycling padded underwear helps a great deal. I haven't found a good seat yet.

#3For men there’s sexual dysfunction.

Do you have firsthand experience with both?

The first 2 comments on HN on this article about women in cycling are talking about men in cycling instead.
It’s fascinating. I can’t tell if it’s a sign of HN commenters never talking about the topic itself, about HN being predominantly male, or the fact that women issues are constantly ignored in society and men tend to make things about themselves instead.

#6I have tried an elliptigo which is neat. It’s unfortunately way harder to ride due to wind resistance and the elliptic nature. Also worth a mention.
Obviously simply not using or having a saddle will remove such class of injuries.
Too bad they’re ridiculously expensive for what they are.
As far as bike seats go, I’ve had success with the cloud 9 seat and women and men alike said it was comfortable (for short rides <30 min). Never been a fan of the stiff ones, other than the fancy leather ones.

Odds are the demographics shift that way on this site.

What an absurd statement. It's a) not a fucking competition and b) nearly impossible for you to know that and c) not going to be universal for all balls-havers and all labia-havers.
Also, like, what is your comment even aiming to achieve?
Are you hoping people will be like, "oh yes, I'm interested in learning how we could improve the lives of women but this insightful comment about balls made me really think about how I shouldn't"?

#9For men there’s sexual dysfunction.
That's discussed extensively in cycling literature, isn't it? Much of the article is about how the impact on women is less well-known.

The article also includes a paragraph about erectile dysfunction in men.
