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.
“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?

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
Thanks
PS: Female and male riders had this year nasty crashes in our club :(
Would that make them the humans most likely to go to a hospital?
Are they accompanying their wives, end up fainting during the procedures, hit their heads and have to be patched up?
Wondering if this is point author is trying to make?

Is there a simple explanation for this?
It's a silent epidemic when you look at mental health rates and it appear to be getting worse.
