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.
As soon as I saw cyclist I knew this was the UK.
We’ve got to improve those male pregnancy exam numbers, women are winning!
the gays are trying their hardest and will keep trying to impregnate their partners but the government keeps tying to stop them for some reason.
Because pregnant men would be pretty OP.
Brand new sentence.
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

Fellas! Stay off the bicycles and motorcycles!
No. May my organs be of good use to someone more intelligent and useful.
Put me right on the very bottom of that recipient list then
Don’t forget the lawn mowers!
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

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.
Okay but what if I turned a coffin into a motorcycle? Does the bad luck even out or am I just taunting Death?
I don’t know, but it would look pretty badass
You can also let it automatically latch shut and call a delivery service to a pre-dug-out hole, on detecting a crash.
Most fun things are.
Or men riding motorcycles are really reckless, no way to conclude here
less the bicycles, unless I read the numbers incorrectly because I couldn’t be bothered to spend longer
Men don’t do well on two wheels.
They do as good as women on 4 legs it seems….
Or women don’t duck with two wheels
Considering how overwhelmingly male every biker group I’ve seen is I’d say it’s more that
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.
People taking too much muscle relaxants.
Lmao, shout out to all my girlies getting hospitalised after huffing too many poppers
Maybe Botox?
My guess was date rape drugs
Huffing paint?
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?
Probably less than 1000 cases
For now. I’ll see if I can fix that this weekend. Do you think multiple visits by the same person for the same issue count as one or multiple?
I think they should be separate. Like if a woman gives birth twice in one year (ow) that would be two visits.
Can width of bars be changed based on number of visits? The pregnancy related ones probably skew the data. I know pie charts are terrible but could they be useful in this case?
I don’t know how their dataset is filtered, but I suspect it should count as multiple.
If they rerun the analysis next year and I see the figure pop up, I’ll know whose sacrifice to honour.
Those are rookie numbers. Let’s get to work, boys!
That’s solved by the medics on scene. You’d be surprised at just how effective my medical shears are and what they can cut…
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.
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!
Who are the 1.7% of males needing OB/GYN?
Trans men? But there aren’t that many I think.
Since the pregnancy is at 100%, I believe it’s afab vs amab
Maybe a trans woman who was AMAB but had bottom surgery?
Wouldn’t be capable of pregnancy but might need a gynecologist?
This is all my guess - I don’t know much about these topics.
you usually see a gynecologist for pap smears once a year, but there might be one willing to do prostate exams for post-op trans women … usually trans affirming gynecologists are for pro-op trans men
maybe post-op trans women would see a gynecologist, just not sure what for
edit: looking it up, a gynecologist is recommended for post-op trans women, looks like a gynecologist can even function as a primary care doctor!
Common reasons to go include treating granulation, checking for yeast infections and STIs, and performing pelvic exams which might catch potential cancers.
The full title of that entry is actually “Obstetric and gynaecological devices associated with adverse incidents”, so maybe some of the men are actually the OB/GYN themselves that are getting injured in the course of their work? The raw number is only 19 cases, so I could see that being plausible
Alternatively, with so few cases, could it be intersex people who are still categorised as male under whatever criteria this is using? 1.7% seems a touch high for that, but maybe things go wrong more often for said intersex people
Edit: wait, 90 of the cases are 0-year-olds. I’m definitely going with injuries to babies during difficult births / C-sections / similar
