The article is careful to point out that these are not the most common reasons men/women wind up in the hospital. They are the reasons that have a very gendered split as to who experiences them. So even if men stopped riding motorcycles, there would not necessarily be a noticeable decrease in male hospitalization rates.

or conversely, if women would get up on that scaffolding and help out their man, that would disappear from the list.

>> So while men are taking risks, women take one for the team I know you're joking but three of the top four are basically 'work related'. Men taking one for the team doing all the dangerous jobs. And maybe if the men stop riding motorcycles the women will stop getting plastic surgery which is also shockingly high as a reason to end up in hospital.

This is probably the wrong chart for the comparison. The entire top section involves fewer total people than 3 separate 100% women related items on the bottom. The follow-up article sorted by absolute numbers is a bit better suited, and predictably a bit more bland. Births is nearly in the top 10 though.

another thing: this article seems to presume "it's bad to be in hospital"

...but that's really going to mess up with general health policy (vaccination, checkup-visits, etc)

Dear Females, are males riding bicycles wrong? Thanks PS: Female and male riders had this year nasty crashes in our club :(

In the United States, males are known to be as stupid as a box of rocks when it comes to any sort of moving vehicle.

Male cyclists are much more prone to be doing 40mph wheelies down a blind hill in the middle of the road than woman.

Don't get me started on motorcycles, PA is just next store (we are over the border in NJ). PA doesn't require helmets for motorcycle riders, and many male riders happily throw helmets to the wind. The level of stupidity there is astronomical.

These things wouldn't be classified as hospital admissions.
