On the one hand, all the pregnancy-related items are of course very important -- but they're not particularly illuminating on a list like this. If there was a "Testicular Torsion" item marked as 100% male, that wouldn't really tell me much here either.
I disagree. It does show the contrast of what most women deal with when compared directly to the male category. And while pregnancy is specific to female (at birth), it is culturally significant because it is so prevalent.
Yes of course, that's why I said it was important. But this table is about gender disparities in specific reasons for admittance. If the ratio can't possibly be anything but 100%, what does that tell me about anything other than the self-evidently obvious?
You might as well tell me water is wet or the sky blue. Very true and both those facts are important, but neither is exactly new or surprising information.
I suppose it tells you that there is no male equivalent. I do think it’s interesting that there are so many fewer types of admission skewed toward women that fit the criteria of being skewed by 80% or more, especially when you consider the prominence of pregnancy related types.
I do also think it would be more interesting to see something like the top 15 admission types for men and top 15 for women without the 80% threshold requirement to get a wider spread of women-skewed admissions.
As a cyclist I both love and hate how many separate ones there are
Part of my job is fitting people with custom bracing in the trauma ward. I realized this wasn't the US because there were so many cyclists, and it was lacking an atv category.
In my state the trauma ward has an ATV season. Also, I'm surprised there wasn't a subcategory for pool injuries, or at least a category for slip and falls. Are swimming pools not very popular in the UK?
General slip-and-fall doesn't seem like it would be highly gendered. Do you find pool injuries are overwhelmingly one sex?
Looks like women are too busy with all that sex stuff to get out on their motorbikes.
I feel like it needs more obviously only male ones to counteract the obviously only female.
Where’s testicular cancer? Prostate? “Dick stuck in [object]”? You know that last one has to have at least 1000 entries.
at least 1000 entries.
We've got to improve those male pregnancy exam numbers, women are winning!
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.
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.
Wow, motorcycles are dangerous, damn.
Yeah. That and pregnancy. Don't even get me started on riding a motorcycle while pregnant. Might as well just ride that bike down to the morgue.
Meh the data is presented in a not only useless but misleading way.
Shoot from the hip with no explanation....
This information will surely only be used to inform rational and socially progressive ideas about gender
What on earth are these "Agents acting on muscles or breathing" that women seem to be much more prone to?
I assumed that meant “overdose” which is easier to do the less you weigh.
I feel like what's missing is the magnitude of each of these versus the others
This is a goofy graph. We have all these admissions of 100% female due to being female. Where's the "had penis caught in chinese finger puzzle" admissions?
Yes. It's shown on the right, and ought to have bee sorted by that.
Also, notice the bottom text, that it excludes all cases where neither gender is more than 80%, so only extreme differences are shown.
It's carefully chosen to show some point, which might be interesting in some context, but not really interesting by itself without context.
what is "agents acting on muscles and breathing" ?
My interpretation was drugs which are CNS depressants or paralytics. A benzo overdose presumably falls into this category, maybe also opioids. It can't include alcohol though, because people drinking until paralytic is not an overwhelmingly female phenomenon (I believe it is currently pretty even)
Who are the 1.7% of males needing OB/GYN?
Trans men? But there aren't that many I think.
Because men cannot give birth, they engage in other types of high-risk activities, such as riding a motorcycle.
Seriously though, what's a procreative management?
