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.

Looks like women are too busy with all that sex stuff to get out on their motorbikes.

At least the horsegirl population vastly outnumbers the horseboys...

The men who aren't getting involved in motorcycle accidents are getting them pregnant. It's just natural selection.

As soon as I saw cyclist I knew this was the UK.

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?

Huh.

Horse girls are a bigger part of the horse riding population than I thought

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 32 points 5 days ago (10 children)

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.

[–] Agent641@lemmy.world 21 points 5 days ago

And try harder to get pregnant!

[–] PieMePlenty@lemmy.world 13 points 5 days ago

Indeed, I walked off my incidental pregnancy.

[–] natecox@programming.dev 50 points 6 days ago (27 children)

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.

[–] The_Picard_Maneuver@piefed.world 30 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

at least 1000 entries.

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

This information will surely only be used to inform rational and socially progressive ideas about gender

Meh the data is presented in a not only useless but misleading way.

Shoot from the hip with no explanation....

[–] Saryn@lemmy.world 10 points 5 days ago (3 children)

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?

Wow, motorcycles are dangerous, damn.

[–] the_mighty_kracken@lemmy.world 24 points 6 days ago (3 children)

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.

What on earth are these "Agents acting on muscles or breathing" that women seem to be much more prone to?

[–] ayyy@sh.itjust.works 17 points 6 days ago

I assumed that meant “overdose” which is easier to do the less you weigh.

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"

[–] captain_aggravated@sh.itjust.works 7 points 5 days ago (1 children)

From this data, it would seem that being not a man increases the likelihood of horse accidents though.

I feel like what's missing is the magnitude of each of these versus the others

[–] ikidd@lemmy.world 21 points 6 days ago (6 children)

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.

Who are the 1.7% of males needing OB/GYN?

[–] flying_sheep@lemmy.ml 18 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (3 children)

Trans men? But there aren't that many I think.
