Invisible Women, by Caroline Criado Perez

Thanks, just slapped that on my Kindle.

...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!

snottyotter is funny enough, you don't have to feed him straight lines.

I once met a woman doing her PhD on car safety (it was certainly a lot smarter sounding than I make it seem) driving a shuttle bus for a car hire place in New Orleans. I forgot almost everything she told me other than the pearl of wisdom that it was better to die from a serious head injury than having your internal organs turned to mush so never, ever wear one of those lap strap seatbelts that go only over the stomach. This applied double for women for whom even a slow speed accident where there’s no danger of hitting the windscreen but reproductive organs could be damaged. Of course a 15 minute chat on a bus doesn’t pass the peer review so who knows. I remembered it tho.

The Rooney/Vardy case has has so many unintentionally hilarious moments that this excellent joke that has been waiting for Jamie to turn up in court seems like overkill

Depressing but not surprising.

Another Tory rapist, at this rate Boris is going to loss his majority in by elections

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.

The point is of the findings showing sexism around safety testing, not the study.

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 led to speculation that women have worse outcomes in car accidents due to the car industry being institutionally sexist by not performing crash tests with "female" dummies.

But what about chubby men with moobs? Won’t someone think of the fat lads?

Are you just a cunt?

Oh come on…. You don’t get humour?

If you really think that I am such a misogynist that I meant ‘fuck the women, fat lads are more important’ then really. Also ‘cunt’ shows a lot if that is what you thought.

Got it thanks, was not looking past the data.

becoming the incel guru and alt right clever person hasn't done him any good

It's what he's always dreamed of.

Surely this is satire. If not then crowdfund for a beating.

It's not easy being green.

Is the latest Tory rapist to be arrested, the same (allegedly short gammony) one as before or is this a new one?

No, but googling "Who is the tory mp arrested reddit" is informative.

(Note that there are lots of suggested names so a bit more digging is required.)

Francois?

Surprisingly not.

Only a matter of time probably.

Supposedly Francois was in the chamber yesterday which means it's unlikely to be him if true.

Who is the tory mp arrested reddit

Their Twitter account stopped posting pictures of Union flags and the Queen on 16th May so def a contender.

Can I just say as an NHS employee, "not right now Monkeypox for fuck's sake"

Why’s this mp not on remand, or did I answer my own question. Happened along time ago
