Woodcock isn't a feminist, she's a megalomaniac. Her position as director of CDER was a constant for years on end, while a number of commissioners came and went (or the position was entirely vacant). She ran her little fiefdom at CDER virtually unimpeded and unsupervised, making contrary decisions on similar drug products at her "discretion," as well as having a hand in virtually every FDA failure that led to the opioid epidemic.
I don't want to tip my hand too much on this one, but I can tell you with certainty that Woodcock ran CDER on her own agenda above all else.
