Well, we’ve had cars for a long time….but finally we’ll be testing them for safety for women, too.
In a sea of bad news, today this got me excited.

It honestly boggles my mind that in 2023 there are still no mandatory crash tests required for the female form.
Additionally, I drive a lot of hire cars and it’s shocking how many makes/models’ seatbelts would effectively garrotte me if I were to crash while driving.
A lot of things are still designed with men in mind unfortunately. Drug trials, car safety testing, ac systems, mental health systems etc.

Fucking lol

Suicide rates by gender between 2000 and 2021.
Ok I’ll put this another way, the mental health of both men and women is compromised by sexism. Women are underdiagnosed with neural diversity like autism and adhd and disproportionately diagnosed with mood disorders. The prevalence of “men dont cry or show emotion/weakness” sexism results in men not seeking or receiving the care and support needed.
But sure, lets all pretend the system is fine and not broken from every direction.
They didn’t say mental health improvement systems *taps forehead*
Ah, so it works by design. I see, I see.
