Sooo does this mean that pregnant women definitely should not be doing roofing work or riding motorcycles? Would that make them the humans most likely to go to a hospital?
So to summarize... Men, stop riding motorcycles Women, stop having kids That last one might have some detrimental effects long term though. So while men are taking risks, women take one for the team
What a ridiculously sexist thing to even dare say out loud. The most male-dominated category is "fall from scaffolding." Men aren't up there for fun. They built the roof that shelters you and your family when it storms.
The OP didn’t say all of the reasons for male related injuries were needless, but if you look at the list, it’s dominated by activities that are inherently voluntary and risky.
Are they accompanying their wives, end up fainting during the procedures, hit their heads and have to be patched up?
Earlier quoted context omitted.
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)
These things wouldn't be classified as hospital admissions.
Who on earth are those 1.7% men who go for "obstetric and gynaecological devices"? Are they accompanying their wives, end up fainting during the procedures, hit their heads and have to be patched up?
Wondering if this is point author is trying to make?

Also, probabilities don't work like that.
