In the news

Oh, yes. Invisible Women, by Caroline Criado Perez, has a lot on this and related subjects. For instance, if you believed male archaeologists then apparently our ancestors buried a lot more men than women.

...highlighted how women were more likely to be seriously injured in car crashes, because crash test dummies were modelled on the “average male”

I think its a bit more biological...

Interesting read though and yeah I am surprised there isn't a (careful now) lumpier, wider dummy too. They have kids and babies after all.... wait a minute!

I had a quick read and wasn't the study based on factual data? It may have gone completely over my head (entirely possible!) but where is it sexist?

The study appears to be a benefit to women in potentially life threatening situations.
