I already knew this was crazy bs, but I researched real quick and varified... On the job deaths is still about 98 percent men.

I've worked a lot of the jobs listed. In the rare even we have women coworkers, we are extremely protective of them, and they never do the most dangerous tasks.

Also the men who do this work are often the most ignored by women at the bar or club.

Is this trend every going to correct itself? You ladies should be the ones protesting how many men die in these dangerous fields women don't even apply for.

Enjoy this bed you're making. There will really be no manly men left before we know it.

a lot of the article is based on dubious interpretation of stats.
Fall in the number of deaths at work linked with an increasing percentage among women. If you go back 100 years the mining, fishing, building, chemicals, armed forces and other 'dangerous' jobs were done almost exclusively by men. Most jobs related to these once major employers are now done abroad. At the same time the number of women in the workforce has dramatically increased, so women as a % of work place deaths is a likely outcome.
Research on cancer is almost always directed toward easy targets - ie where people are dying from an identified common background - working in asbestos factories, with particular chemicals, a dusty mine environment, etc and it is relatively easy to obtain funding where a high death toll is identified.
Some cancer related hemicals are known to be absorbed by fats - male or female - generally obesity is named as the causal link - more fat than 'normal' people. Testing chemicals in isolation is again easier 100 chemicals to test = 100 test programmes 100 chemicals to test as pairs = 100 x 99/2 = 4500 test programmes - the logistics for all chemicals used becomes an unrealistic objective - but where a causal link with a chemical mix is identified it should be investigated.
Body armour and other ppe incorrectly fitting - sadly, if more people die from incorrect sizing there may be legislation to change standards... though manufacture of items could fairly easily be tailored to individuals - a 3d body scan, 3d image processing and computerised manufacture of the item. Should the technology become common, with items redesigned to simplify manufacture the costs per item should fall to only a little above current standard production costs Read of made to measure suits being made this way somewhere in the far east
As for crash test dummies and the average man - who does he look like - men go from 7 - 20+ stone in weight.
Most of the article is not a 'womens' problem - simply a standards problem.

I really know about this being not only female but also short. When I drive our car - stick-change like at least 50% in Europe, and bought for my husband who is no longer permitted to drive - I have to sit so far forward in order to reach the pedals that I am pressed right up against the steering wheel and have to be careful not to sound the horn all the time. If the airbag exploded it would probably kill me. I keep my driving to an absolute minimum.

50% of all governments should be female

the shoulder strap on seatbelts go across my throat

Thanks, Jnei!

Excellent

A very informative article... Thx
