Fellas! Stay off the bicycles and motorcycles!
No. May my organs be of good use to someone more intelligent and useful.
Put me right on the very bottom of that recipient list then
Don’t forget the lawn mowers!
As soon as I saw cyclist I knew this was the UK.
Hey, I’m on there! Shout-out to my fellow people injured by power tools and household machinery.
This you?
It was right up his alley. Was trying to open the package and couldn’t figure out how to get it apart. Decided I needed to level up to the BFK (big fucking knife). The packaging (and the knife) won that battle, but I eventually won the war when I realized the packaging was threaded on my return from the ER. Could have just twisted it. Derp

Ok, so what I am hearing is that I can significantly reduce the risk of motorcycle injuries by not being a man? Like how far do I need to go here, because if its just dressing in drag, it may be just the supporting data I will need to convince my wife to let me have a motorcycle “just one more time”
From this data, it would seem that being not a man increases the likelihood of horse accidents though.
Ok ok, so I lose 1 horse power in favour of some ending in RR… Deal!
Where are the objects in rectum numbers?
I guess it is not as biased as you assume
The amount of lawnmower injuries…

I wonder why obstetrical and gynecologic devices 98.3% female and not 100%… I assume it must be biological gender since it’s NHS data.
Possibly for breast cancer? Men can get breast cancer, it’s just not as common
Maybe vasectomy clips count?

On the one hand, all the pregnancy-related items are of course very important – but they’re not particularly illuminating on a list like this. If there was a “Testicular Torsion” item marked as 100% male, that wouldn’t really tell me much here either.
Yeah this is a super pointless list because it’s obvious they cherry picked data points to make the graph look dramatic.

That does appear to be the case. Almost all of the pregnancy visits aren’t done in hospital. They are clinic visits and clinical post hospital appointments. And almost all of the male admissions are trauma admissions through the ER.
And to be honest, men do have a higher rate of trauma admissions than women. While women are a bit more often admitted for medical issues. But, often have medical issues they also see a doctor for.
I disagree. It does show the contrast of what most women deal with when compared directly to the male category. And while pregnancy is specific to female (at birth), it is culturally significant because it is so prevalent.
It doesn’t compare directly to the male category because there is no male category listed.
Quite a bit of interesting information on display to be sure, but with 20% of the chart displaying information that excludes one of the two things being compared, it’s not a good representation of what the title suggests.
On a chart showing male female disparity for types of cancer, ovarian and testicular would be just as irrelevant as the bottom fifth of this admissions chart.
I am a bit confused. Do you mean they purposely grouped stuff to make it seem like a bigger issue than the cancers you mention?
In that last sentence of my comment, I was referring to a hypothetical cancer chart, as a comparison to the chart of this post and the inherent uselessness of including information that cannot be experienced by everyone.
Yes of course, that’s why I said it was important. But this table is about gender disparities in specific reasons for admittance. If the ratio can’t possibly be anything but 100%, what does that tell me about anything other than the self-evidently obvious?
You might as well tell me water is wet or the sky blue. Very true and both those facts are important, but neither is exactly new or surprising information.
I suppose it tells you that there is no male equivalent. I do think it’s interesting that there are so many fewer types of admission skewed toward women that fit the criteria of being skewed by 80% or more, especially when you consider the prominence of pregnancy related types.
I do also think it would be more interesting to see something like the top 15 admission types for men and top 15 for women without the 80% threshold requirement to get a wider spread of women-skewed admissions.
I guess it depends on what the chart is made to convey
The chart does include total admissions for each. Category, so you can compare the numbers across categories, I guess.
If there was a “Testicular Torsion” item marked as 100% male, that wouldn’t really tell me much here either.
Uh oh
Yes, yes. Entirely legitimate issues about gender identity aside, I think we all know my point here is strictly about biology.
This is why I hate this whole issue. For decades we use male and man and female and woman interchangeably. But now theres all sorts of people just waiting to pounce with “Well, actually…”. And then, if you do say male, its fine. But if you say female, you get “Oh, look. Another incel saying female!!”.
Seems like its not about communicating effectively, and more about just shitting all over things people say for worthless internet points. We all know what you meant. And it was a good point. But here we are, side stepping into this mess instead of staying focused on your point. Its all just so silly.
lol I have you tagged as “gets it” and you keep living up to that.
… there is a difference between man and male?
A lot of folk are going to start going on about how one refers to sexual phenotype and one is about social gender but that isn’t coming from the trans camp. I will help simplify it from a trans lens.
Male and Man are basically interchangeable from a trans perspective because people use them basically the same way - as a social Category. Calling a trans woman “male” is doing the exact same job as calling her a “man”. These are not strictly scientific terms.
Male and Female are what are on legal documentation like licences or medical documents and you can get those changed and it’s important to have that flexibility because a trans man rocking a full beard and having an F sex marker on his passport can get him routinely flagged by police or security with the concern his documentation is fake or erroneous and potentially cause him to be treated like a criminal and his documents tested because he doesn’t look female.
Where the difference culturally matters is people sometimes do not like male or female in usage because it sounds depersonalizing. Like you are putting out an All Points Bulletin or talking about a prisoner or animal population or using medical sounding language to refer to them.
Oh, you sweet summer child.
I mean, I know the difference between sex and gender in the English language but didn’t know this also relates to male and man (if this is what it is about as the downvotes suggest)
God forbid someone who doesn’t natively speak English doesn’t know the nuance between these words that are often not used “properly”
Genuinely, I don’t know the difference between man/male. I do, however, know that assuming anything regarding gender identity will be incorrect. Shit changes every few weeks. Ive been working a lot of overtime, haven’t had the chance to stay up to date on it all.

As a cyclist I both love and hate how many separate ones there are
Part of my job is fitting people with custom bracing in the trauma ward. I realized this wasn’t the US because there were so many cyclists, and it was lacking an atv category.
In my state the trauma ward has an ATV season. Also, I’m surprised there wasn’t a subcategory for pool injuries, or at least a category for slip and falls. Are swimming pools not very popular in the UK?
General slip-and-fall doesn’t seem like it would be highly gendered. Do you find pool injuries are overwhelmingly one sex?
General slip-and-fall doesn’t seem like it would be highly gendered.
The amount of falls I’m guessing is fairly similar, but older women are a lot more likely to end up in the trauma ward from it. For one there are just more old women than old men in my area and they are far more likely to have osteoporosis.
Do you find pool injuries are overwhelmingly one sex?
I generally see a lot more young men and boys from injuries from the pool. More rough housing, diving, and running around on wet concrete.
My assumption would be that males would tend more towards risky behavior around a pool.
Very few people have swimming pools at home, if that’s what you mean.
We just go to the local puddle during the rainy season, typically between January and December.

And at the opposite end of the spectrum, how many elements for pregnancy there are as well! (And no specific Delivery, but Outcome of Delivery. Do people in US not usually give birth in a hospital?)
Edit: Not US but England
In the US the hospital is most common but there is a growing movement for alternative birth methods, birthing centers, at home births, being strapped to a wall and having crystals shot at you until your baby just sort of materializes, etc
While there are fringe anti-science people pushing for home births, the main cause is lack of health insurance/fear of unexpected bills.
I know a number of home-birthed people, including myself, and I could not describe a single parent of theirs as being anti-science. Also this graph is from English hospital admissions so cost/bills would never ever enter the equation.
That’s creative. I’d love being bombarded with raw amethysts while I’m breaking waters
Amethysts and essential oils. Men know there is only one essential oil… WD40.
This chart is for people in England.
Explains the lack of gunshots compared to stabbings.
Thanks for pointing it out! Lemmy is so US centered I didn’t notice
lol, someone downvoted your candid opinion.
🤷♂️
this chart is for anyone interested in charts, don’t gatekeep charts!
This is NHS England data, so not likely to be affected by whether people in the US usually give birth in a hospital.
Dunno about people in the US, but this chat says the information is from England. I’m guessing delivery is included in one of the other categories (probably outcome of delivery).
Birth centers are incredibly common now. And home births are preferred among certain people, like anti-vaxers and sovereign citizens
It’s mostly people with inadequate medical coverage who can’t afford insane surprise bills.
Seriously. As a downhill biker I count at least 5 lines for me:
Cyclist, Object Collision Cyclist, Other Cyclist, Non Collision Accident Assault, Sharp object (my shins and calves are constantly being torn up by my fucking pedals. fuck those grip screws) Struck by sports equipment
Clipless will save your shins :)
And how many admissions compared to motorcycles there are.
Looks like women are too busy with all that sex stuff to get out on their motorbikes.
At least the horsegirl population vastly outnumbers the horseboys…
What is a hog but a horse with more horsepower?
The men who aren’t getting involved in motorcycle accidents are getting them pregnant. It’s just natural selection.
I feel like it needs more obviously only male ones to counteract the obviously only female.
Where’s testicular cancer? Prostate? “Dick stuck in [object]”? You know that last one has to have at least 1000 entries.
at least 1000 entries.
Object stuck in arse is the classic, if the anecdotes of my medical professional friends are anything to go by. Although maybe that’s already covered by “Assault, blunt object”
Females have arses too…
I’d be zero percent surprised to learn that men get stuff stuck up their arse more than women.
I live in a town which has a hospital that supports a large geographical area and as such is a major employer in the town. Many of my friends work there.
It’s always men.
You know, a lot of women online complain about the idea that men are more horny than women, but I’d say they need to get their lost object in anal cavity requiring surgical removal numbers up if they’d like to differ.
hi, husband here
i am the arse
I’m not sure that’s in dispute?
They don’t poop, why would they have one?
That’s right. Nature don’ts make stuffs for no reason’. That’s the beauty of it
If girls had buttholes they’d also fart so definitely fake news!
You’re saying that it’s apparently a male only issue if you think it should be on the men’s side.
Would it be surprising, no, but it’s probably gonna be a pretty even split.
37 times more men than women 😂
Cool. Doesn’t mean you need to be a dick about it.
You’re also an ass for trying to funnel it under “assault”, not funny. Just ignorant while trying to make a joke at men.
Love that the name-calling starts once I’ve provided evidence to back up my claim. This is called an ad hominem attack, or narcissistic rage, in case you ever want to bring it up with your therapist. I don’t know how old you are, but it’s common in children, where they’re not emotionally equipped to manage the frustration of being proved wrong.
May the internet never change.
I would put a lot of money on it not being an even split. The stories I’ve heard from hospital colleagues always involve men, to the point where one nurse I know wanted to add a plea in a local Facebook group to ask men to stop shoving household objects up their arse.
I think women have the wherewithal to use, or have easier access to, proper tapered toys. Men see a tube shaped object and go “yep, that’ll do”.
The hospital admissions are for removal of stuck foreign objects, not which gender likes bum fun the most.
I think women have the wherewithal to use, or have easier access to, proper tapered toys. Men see a tube shaped object and go “yep, that’ll do”
Some of this definitely comes from stigma, it’s relatively normal for women to have sex toys, regardless of relationship status, but it’s seen as sad and loser/gooner behavior if a man has sex toys. Add in inconvenience of penetrative sex toys really only being effective for prostate play for men (whereas women can use penetrative sex toys both to simulate vanilla PIV sex and for any amount of increasingly kinky fantasies) and you have the perfect recipe for horny men curious about ringing that male G-spot using whatever seems relatively safe and appropriately sized
My guess is it just doesn’t usually get you admitted to the hospital. They can usually help you out in the ER and send you on your way.
It’s probably also “foreign object in body” and covers all holes, so the females are “watered” down maybe? More options, less results in each, common data issue.
Fake news.
“Don’t threaten me with a good time” eh?
We’ve got to improve those male pregnancy exam numbers, women are winning!
the gays are trying their hardest and will keep trying to impregnate their partners but the government keeps tying to stop them for some reason.
Because pregnant men would be pretty OP.
Brand new sentence.
