Could we blame men

“Historically, we have used male-type crash test dummies,” said Becky Mueller,

“female” crash test dummies have been deployed, but they tend to simulate smaller women, says Forman, with heights of 5 feet and weights of 110 pounds.

“We’re going to end up building autonomous vehicles with females have a 73 percent greater risk of injury, too.”

This is so dumb. Each and every day I am in awe of what the next day brings.

Lower bone density.

Higher college acceptance rates.


Correlation


Higher death rate in crashes.

Are Christians worse drivers than Jews? I never see a Star of David with flowers along the side of the road.

It's like concluding that women get hurt more often in the NLF because helmet manufacturers are sexist.

The article raises some interesting questions. I believe the answer is pretty simple.

Put a woman on a football field crashing into large men, she'd be more likely to be injured. Women's bodies are softer, less muscular, and more frail in general.

Men's bodies are evolved for battle. We have thicker bones, more muscles, bigger jaws, even thicker skulls.

It doesn't require a person to be a scientist to understand why women's bodies aren't as resilient to blunt force impacts as men's bodies.

Whether there are additional reasonable safety measures that can be taken to protect female bodies in auto accidents is the only question. I assume any advances in safety that make women less likely to die in car crashes would also benefit men.

The implication some womynists will run with is that car safety is sexist and only designed to protect men. I don't think there's a rational basis for that, but it won't stop them from making the victimhood claim.

Are we even allowed to talk about these bodily differences anymore?

good news: I am petite so I am safer?

also I can attest: women put on eye liner late for work while driving, gossip on the phone, tail-gate then slam da breaks, so frick women drivers.

93% of all workplace fatalities are men.

Imagine if that stat was reverse the outrage you'd hear being screeched.

Baseball is getting hell about foul ball injuries. It's all women. They never say "maybe it's because the women aren't watching the game."

Valid point. Either Jews are such awesome drivers that they’re never in fatal accidents, or it’s some kind of violation of Judaic law to die in a wreck.
