Got it, women are too busy with sex stuff to get out on their motorbikes.
At least the horsegirl population vastly outnumbers the horseboys…
What is a hog but a horse with more horsepower?
The men who aren’t getting involved in motorcycle accidents are getting them pregnant. It’s just natural selection.
Huh.
Horse girls are a bigger part of the horse riding population than I thought
My girlfriend’s sister has a horse and I refuse to go near it. It’s a two ton object being operated by a pea of a brain, he once got into a panic because his friend was behind him and he couldn’t see him, so he ran around the field madly until he collided with a stationary tree. Oh and he’s scared of blue wheelbarrows, just blue ones, wheelbarrows of any other colour or apparently acceptable.
He has already stood on her foot once.
Horses are fucking creepy.
Right? They walk around on single fingers and are born with weird tentacles over their hooves
If you try to draw a horse based only on its skeleton you would come up with some cthulhu monster.
two ton
[Edit]
Sorry, that was an arrogant way of phrasing it.
What the hell kind of breed is two tons? The heaviest ones I know get up to about one ton, but those are big, heavy working horses, not the average riding horse.Most horses won’t be even a single ton. There are a few breeds of working horses that do get up to a ton, but most regular riding horses are a half ton, on average.
[End of Edit]
Our icelandic horse has also stood on my foot once, but she’s only about 300kg (600lbs) and didn’t put much of it on that foot before I shooed her off.
Also, she’s super calm about damn near everything.
First encounter with a motorised shear? Eyes wide open for a few seconds, then she’s already out of fucks to give.
Shenanigans trying to craft a costume for her result in a piece of cloth suddenly covering her eyes? Eh, my humans will know what they’re doing. Actually, can I eat that? Nope, apparently not. Lame.The worst she’ll do when something actually does scare her is stand up straight, refuse to move closer and rarely attempt to put a little more distance. She might unexpectedly sidestep a weird object on the roadside, but not so rapidly as to dismount my wife, and she’s never run away in a panic that I know of.
And if you scratch her right, she basically melts. Scratch her ears, she’ll relax her lower lip like she’s losing control of her face muscles. Scratch her butt, she’ll lean into it. Back away, she’ll follow. It’s the only case I’ve ever seen of a horse happily walking backwards.
Just by asking what breed such a horse could possibly be, you’ve exemplified more horse related knowledge than most people possess. Two tons is pretty obviously a guess by someone that doesn’t know a lot about horses or other animals of similar size.
Not much different to how most people would be wrong when estimating the weight of a building, the volume of the ocean, or the quantity of trees on the planet. If it’s something unfamiliar to you, you can’t be expected to be accurate.
You know what, you’re right. I didn’t consider the perspective of people less familiar with the topic. I don’t consider myself particularly knowledgeable, but that doesn’t mean my knowledge is fundamental or ubiquitous.
Kudos to you. Too few are capable of this type of reflection.
When you know a bit about something, it’s always an easy thing to mistakenly presume others to know what seems like the most baseline of information about the subject matter.
As it is for horses, only three breeds came to my mind. Clydesdale, carousel, and of course this genuine two ton beauty.

It’s a common human blind spot. I see no reason to get defensive about it. Better to admit it and improve than double down on a pointless battle with nothing to win.
I know of a lot of things that I don’t know a lot about, which makes what knowledge I do have seem paltry by comparison. Exchanges like this are a handy reality check. Ideally, we can all walk away smarter for it.

Shire Horses, Brabanter (a Belgian breed, but I don’t know the English name) are the ones that I can think of, but I know there’s also some French breed up there. Don’t think any of them can hide a crew of crafty Greeks in their belly though. “Why is this taxidermied horse’s belly still moving?”
Consider yourself lucky. We were digging the ground with shovels near a horse park where they had a competition. A river separates the two areas.
They asked us to stop because the horses were freaking out.
Maybe they include elephants in the “horse” category?
In the lord of the rings a lot of the extras on horses are women with fake beards because of this
Maybe they are just a lot worse at it.
This is embarrassing to men. You’re suppose to walk off those sorts of injuries.
And try harder to get pregnant!
Indeed, I walked off my incidental pregnancy.
This information will surely only be used to inform rational and socially progressive ideas about gender

No. May my organs be of good use to someone more intelligent and useful.

Meh the data is presented in a not only useless but misleading way.
Shoot from the hip with no explanation…
Not seeing anything inherently wrong with the data viz (obviously not talking about the veracity of the data itself or its geographic/linguistic scope as that’s another matter).
Would you elaborate what you mean?
if you are going to bring up comparisons based on sex, you pollute the data including things that ONLY can possibly effect one sex. what good is it to compare how much post pregnancy care effects women vs men? or to have half the comparisons divvy all the different ways you can classify a motor cycle accident, where there is the same outcome for all of them.
I assume it is based on data of people being admitted to hospitals, as titled. So my guess is this is more about how the medical system breaks the data down, and they selected for the highest disparities of reported sex.
seems to point to men getting hurt based on high risk behavior or professional expectation. but women seem to be arriving for biological functions.
though honestly if you consider child birth both a high risk behavior and and societal expectation then the comparison is valid, but more clarity on the why it’s like this would help.
The line item for obstetric and gynecological devices is interesting.
Hey, I’m on there! Shout-out to my fellow people injured by power tools and household machinery.
This you?
It was right up his alley. Was trying to open the package and couldn’t figure out how to get it apart. Decided I needed to level up to the BFK (big fucking knife). The packaging (and the knife) won that battle, but I eventually won the war when I realized the packaging was threaded on my return from the ER. Could have just twisted it. Derp

Ok, so what I am hearing is that I can significantly reduce the risk of motorcycle injuries by not being a man? Like how far do I need to go here, because if its just dressing in drag, it may be just the supporting data I will need to convince my wife to let me have a motorcycle “just one more time”
From this data, it would seem that being not a man increases the likelihood of horse accidents though.
Ok ok, so I lose 1 horse power in favour of some ending in RR… Deal!
Mental note: stop brandishing scimitar while motorcycling.
The women have an unfair advantage. They get classes on the subject.
Doctors concluded this leads to hysteria
Only the ones who knew how to duck.
well there used to be “treatment” for hysteria that’s very close to ducking
My refusal to step onto scaffolding has been affirmed by this data.
Look sometimes you’ve got to take some risks to follow the lead of Jaghatai Khan
Why ride in a tank and fight at a distance if you could wear a tank and ride a motorbike at breakneck speed to close into melee range? For the Khan and the Emperor!

agents acting on muscles and breathing? 🤔
Drug effects. Prescription or recreational
So more men do drugs but women OD way more?
Well it’s side effects. So a lot of people don’t know this but a lot of prescription drugs only ever ran trials on white men. As you probably know. Men are typically physically larger than women and have a different muscle to fat ratio.
So it’s actually more common for women to have side effects from a lot of these drugs because the dosage is not adjusted for women.
Also. Toxic masculinity. Men are told not to complain about things like this. Even though they should. Men have a shorter life span and visit doctors less, coincidence?
wondering why that would be a primarily “female reason” for admission, then - wouldn’t drugs that impact breathing or muscles be administered or accessible to men as well?
Someone else suggested date rape drugs, that seems like a possibility - but is it typical for date rape drugged victims to end up in the hospital such that “agents acting on muscles and breathing” becomes the reason for admission? Just doesn’t make sense, tbh

To be fair, white males are the default of humanity…
/s (damn humanity and their conceited blindspots!!)
Even drugs for kids have mostly just been tested on adult white men.
They say it’s unethical to do drug testing on kids. So instead we just give millions of kids drugs that were never tested on them.
Geez, it’s madness isn’t it?
I’m pretty sure it’s to keep from getting sued.
It’s an unethical loop hole to keep kids from growing up and suing them
Allergic reaction to substances (agents) causing paralysis, asphyxiation, shock, etc
why would this be a “female” reason to be admitted to the hospital?
Someone above explained it better, but women are more likely to have unwanted and even dangerous side effects from medications because most meds were only ever properly tested on white men.
The men just rub a little dirt in their lungs
Because guys are too fucking dumb to go to the hospital for something like not being able to breathe. I’m sure the statistic couldn’t breathe, tried to walk it off, regained consciousness the next morning in a ditch next to road, just went home, is probably just as full of guys as the other statistic was full of girls.
It was just a massage I didn’t mean to hurt them!
Where are the objects in rectum numbers?
I guess it is not as biased as you assume
I expected more foreign object in rectum
Imagine if pregnancy stuff had 1% blue.
The amount of lawnmower injuries…
