CNN finds a way to make gender an issue in hurricane names

If male Hurricanes were deadlier they'd say it promotes the stereotype that women are weak.

Today's woman have no idea how to blow?

well we all know storms should only have white peoples names anyway.

No one wants a storm names Hurricane Quandrika

Isn't it more sexist toward men?

Study seems to have a bunch of flaws. Not to mention that male names weren't even used until the 1980's so of course female storms are deadlier.

Anyone from LA would likely be more afraid of female named storms given Betsy, Camille, and Katrina.

I remember when Sheila Jackson Lee complained that there weren't enough Hurricanes with "ethnic" names. Then along came one named "Katrina"

It doesn't surprise me. Women and hurricanes both wreck your shite.

This.

I'd like to see the data on deadliest hurricanes since the list went coed. Then control for size, population density in the disaster zone, warning time prior to landfall, and day of the month it hit. The last two are important factors CNN would easily miss. You need 72 hours to fully evacuate a major city and NOLA wasn't in the cone until Friday afternoon. And poors don't have any money on the 28th of the month.
