Well, whatever is ever FOR women? No, seriously, how does blood have anything to do with gender? Women bleed every month anyway, so they shouldn't? The logical argument could be that women have a lower haemoglobin count than men due to their biological setup. Women naturally survive in lower haemoglobin levels. So, blood donation affects them the same way that it would affect a man. Thus, unless women are pregnant, lactating, anaemic, or suffering from some medical issue that lowers haemoglobin count -- they can donate blood.
