Those aspects include: a) exactly / technically happens to a baby born with FAS, what the baby looks like that makes it different from healthy babies; b) why university curricula do not emphasize information germane to this problem; c) the need to have better technologies applied to determining if children actually have FAS and to what degree they are afflicted; d) large numbers of women who seemingly are aware of the need to stop drinking when they are pregnant nonetheless continue consuming alcohol, and there is nothing that apparently has been done to make the danger any clearer; e) animals are being used (rather then humans) now to study the effects that alcohol has on the woman and the baby; and f) in France, if a baby is born with FAS the hospital has the option of taking the baby from the mother and putting the baby into a home where it will receive proper care.

Ultimately, denying access to education and writing can be seen as the underlying basis for all other forms of gender discrimination, because this is the means by which all other culture is produced and controlled.
