So to summarize...

Men, stop riding motorcycles Women, stop having kids

That last one might have some detrimental effects long term though.

So while men are taking risks, women take one for the team

Dear Females, are males riding bicycles wrong?

Thanks

PS: Female and male riders had this year nasty crashes in our club :(

WTF is "Procreative Management" ?
Sooo does this mean that pregnant women definitely should not be doing roofing work or riding motorcycles?

Would that make them the humans most likely to go to a hospital?

(This comment was made in jest, not a serious comment)
So basically never ride a motorcycle or a bike on the road.
who are these 2% of men who were hospitalized due to obstetrics or gynaecological devices?
(comment deleted)
Who on earth are those 1.7% men who go for "obstetric and gynaecological devices"?

Are they accompanying their wives, end up fainting during the procedures, hit their heads and have to be patched up?

Men, asymptotic to 100% factors, women absolute 100% factors.

Wondering if this is point author is trying to make?

Don’t plot rates and volumes in the same chart . A single entry is larger than nearly the remnants
Some of these categories are awfully vague. "Non-treatment procedures"??
> 89.5% Psychological problems [for women]

This is a pretty stunning statistic to me. I suppose if you were to ask me to guess which gender is hospitalized the most frequently for mental health reasons, I'd probably guess women... but I wouldn't expect the distribution to be that extremely skewed.

Is there a simple explanation for this?

1 in 4 Women are on antidepressant by age 50.

It's a silent epidemic when you look at mental health rates and it appear to be getting worse.

“In which some stereotypes are resoundingly confirmed” - so the post is confirming stereotypes of differences between women and men by highlighting the extremes in difference (not the actual counts)? It’s misleading. The gender differences are less stark if you use better charts and don’t include activities that men literally can’t do (that’s not a “stereotype” that’s human anatomy).
Given the 100% on things that can only happen to female bodies, I'm surprised there is no counterpart for stuff that can happen only to the male body, like torsion of testicles. Maybe there is no dedicated code for that?
