Sexist lightning?: 8 out of 10 killed are men (washingtonpost.com)

I have always wondered what the probability of being struck by lightning is, given that you are actually outside during a thunderstorm. We always use the phrase "chances of getting struck by lightning" as a stand-in for a very low probability, but I think that probability includes everyone, whether they actually venture out into storms or not.

Come on people. It's 2014! How is there still a lightning gap?

Men are too dumb to come in out of the rain?

They are only sexist if they kill more women. #feminism101

A case of self-selection, of course.

So, is playing golf in the rain a worse option than walking or driving home and returning later on a city street?

These odds are hardly a compelling reason to continue warning about lighting safety given that the resulting behavior changes might be leading to more of the common causes of death.
