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.
Wow, motorcycles are dangerous, damn.
less the bicycles, unless I read the numbers incorrectly because I couldn’t be bothered to spend longer
Most fun things are.
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.
Anyone notice many, if not most, of male injuries are preventable?
They’re expendable for the glory of our car-centric society
How is that your takeaway? Are plastic surgery, horse riding, and pregnancy unavoidable hazards? All seem more preventable than violence, work injuries, and traffic collisions.
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?
Very few people have swimming pools at home, if that’s what you mean.
We just go to the local puddle during the rainy season, typically between January and December.
the local puddle
to slip and fall?
General slip-and-fall doesn’t seem like it would be highly gendered. Do you find pool injuries are overwhelmingly one sex?
My assumption would be that males would tend more towards risky behavior around a pool.
General slip-and-fall doesn’t seem like it would be highly gendered.
The amount of falls I’m guessing is fairly similar, but older women are a lot more likely to end up in the trauma ward from it. For one there are just more old women than old men in my area and they are far more likely to have osteoporosis.
Do you find pool injuries are overwhelmingly one sex?
I generally see a lot more young men and boys from injuries from the pool. More rough housing, diving, and running around on wet concrete.
Seriously. As a downhill biker I count at least 5 lines for me:
Cyclist, Object Collision Cyclist, Other Cyclist, Non Collision Accident Assault, Sharp object (my shins and calves are constantly being torn up by my fucking pedals. fuck those grip screws) Struck by sports equipment
Clipless will save your shins :)
And how many admissions compared to motorcycles there are.
And at the opposite end of the spectrum, how many elements for pregnancy there are as well! (And no specific Delivery, but Outcome of Delivery. Do people in US not usually give birth in a hospital?)
In the US the hospital is most common but there is a growing movement for alternative birth methods, birthing centers, at home births, being strapped to a wall and having crystals shot at you until your baby just sort of materializes, etc
That’s creative. I’d love being bombarded with raw amethysts while I’m breaking waters
Amethysts and essential oils. Men know there is only one essential oil… WD40.
While there are fringe anti-science people pushing for home births, the main cause is lack of health insurance/fear of unexpected bills.
Birth centers are incredibly common now. And home births are preferred among certain people, like anti-vaxers and sovereign citizens
It’s mostly people with inadequate medical coverage who can’t afford insane surprise bills.
This chart is for people in England.
Thanks for pointing it out! Lemmy is so US centered I didn’t notice
lol, someone downvoted your candid opinion.
🤷♂️
Explains the lack of gunshots compared to stabbings.
this chart is for anyone interested in charts, don’t gatekeep charts!
Dunno about people in the US, but this chat says the information is from England. I’m guessing delivery is included in one of the other categories (probably outcome of delivery).
This is NHS England data, so not likely to be affected by whether people in the US usually give birth in a hospital.
Who are the 1.7% of males needing OB/GYN?
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
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
Huh.
Horse girls are a bigger part of the horse riding population than I thought
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.
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
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.
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.
Maybe they include elephants in the “horse” category?
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.
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?”
So… gynecological devices has some amount of males?

Medical fetishists are a thing. I think it’s due to kink play with speculums, sounding tools, catheters, and other (gendered) medical instruments.
What you actually need is a privacy respecting open source browser, the clear recent history button, and also, if your router is untrusted, DNS over HTTPS.
For men those things would land in a urology/andrology/proctology category.
Men are dumb and put things in wrong places.
I blame the lack of sexual education in schools, of it was better then more men would understand the importance of a flared base
Maybe males being treated for post partum depression under obstetrics? Otherwise idk
Yeah, trans men.
agents acting on muscles and breathing? 🤔
Drug effects. Prescription or recreational
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
Well it’s probably side effects from prescription drugs. 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?
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?
So more men do drugs but women OD way more?

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!
Mental note: stop brandishing scimitar while motorcycling.
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!
My refusal to step onto scaffolding has been affirmed by this data.
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.
I feel like what’s missing is the magnitude of each of these versus the others
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.
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.
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…
I think this is the source, also better image quality (in Boost at least it looks super compressed).
There’s a little HD button in the top right on Boost that I’m guessing shows the original image.
What on earth are these “Agents acting on muscles or breathing” that women seem to be much more prone to?
My guess was date rape drugs
Maybe Botox?
People taking too much muscle relaxants.
Lmao, shout out to all my girlies getting hospitalised after huffing too many poppers
I assumed that meant “overdose” which is easier to do the less you weigh.
deleted by creator
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)
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.
Object stuck in arse is the classic, if the anecdotes of my medical professional friends are anything to go by. Although maybe that’s already covered by “Assault, blunt object”
“Don’t threaten me with a good time” eh?
Females have arses too…
hi, husband here
i am the arse
I’d be zero percent surprised to learn that men get stuff stuck up their arse more than women.
I live in a town which has a hospital that supports a large geographical area and as such is a major employer in the town. Many of my friends work there.
It’s always men.
You know, a lot of women online complain about the idea that men are more horny than women, but I’d say they need to get their lost object in anal cavity requiring surgical removal numbers up if they’d like to differ.
I’m not sure that’s in dispute?
You’re saying that it’s apparently a male only issue if you think it should be on the men’s side.
Would it be surprising, no, but it’s probably gonna be a pretty even split.
My guess is it just doesn’t usually get you admitted to the hospital. They can usually help you out in the ER and send you on your way.
It’s probably also “foreign object in body” and covers all holes, so the females are “watered” down maybe? More options, less results in each, common data issue.
I would put a lot of money on it not being an even split. The stories I’ve heard from hospital colleagues always involve men, to the point where one nurse I know wanted to add a plea in a local Facebook group to ask men to stop shoving household objects up their arse.
I think women have the wherewithal to use, or have easier access to, proper tapered toys. Men see a tube shaped object and go “yep, that’ll do”.
The hospital admissions are for removal of stuck foreign objects, not which gender likes bum fun the most.
I think women have the wherewithal to use, or have easier access to, proper tapered toys. Men see a tube shaped object and go “yep, that’ll do”
Some of this definitely comes from stigma, it’s relatively normal for women to have sex toys, regardless of relationship status, but it’s seen as sad and loser/gooner behavior if a man has sex toys. Add in inconvenience of penetrative sex toys really only being effective for prostate play for men (whereas women can use penetrative sex toys both to simulate vanilla PIV sex and for any amount of increasingly kinky fantasies) and you have the perfect recipe for horny men curious about ringing that male G-spot using whatever seems relatively safe and appropriately sized
37 times more men than women 😂
Cool. Doesn’t mean you need to be a dick about it.
You’re also an ass for trying to funnel it under “assault”, not funny. Just ignorant while trying to make a joke at men.
Love that the name-calling starts once I’ve provided evidence to back up my claim. This is called an ad hominem attack, or narcissistic rage, in case you ever want to bring it up with your therapist. I don’t know how old you are, but it’s common in children, where they’re not emotionally equipped to manage the frustration of being proved wrong.
May the internet never change.
They don’t poop, why would they have one?
That’s right. Nature don’ts make stuffs for no reason’. That’s the beauty of it
If girls had buttholes they’d also fart so definitely fake news!
Fake news.
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?
Because men cannot give birth
some can :3
Vasectomy I guess for guys, having your tubes tied for women.
IUD’s
Don’t mix those up with IED’s. Believe me.
Probably hurts about the same.
…until the ‘E’ gets activated.
Just dont drive drunk…
Did you actually mix up contracteptives and driving undert the influence?
I would never!
