• What it should really say is that on average men are more dangerous than women. This is because the numbers are skewed by men in their late teens and twenties who are the group in society most likely to die from traumatic causes, whether that is road crashes, sporting injures or fights down the pub.

    This sounds true, but I prefer to formulate it positively--no material difference, surely? If putting it this way, I also find the wording 'are more dangerous' to sound quite ambiguous.
