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!
Wow, motorcycles are dangerous, damn.
less the bicycles, unless I read the numbers incorrectly because I couldn’t be bothered to spend longer
Most fun things are.
Yeah. That and pregnancy. Don’t even get me started on riding a motorcycle while pregnant. Might as well just ride that bike down to the morgue.
Okay but what if I turned a coffin into a motorcycle? Does the bad luck even out or am I just taunting Death?
You can also let it automatically latch shut and call a delivery service to a pre-dug-out hole, on detecting a crash.
I don’t know, but it would look pretty badass
The amount of lawnmower injuries…
It reminded me of 1000 Ways To Die
Who are the 1.7% of males needing OB/GYN?
Trans men? But there aren’t that many I think.
Since the pregnancy is at 100%, I believe it’s afab vs amab
Maybe a trans woman who was AMAB but had bottom surgery?
Wouldn’t be capable of pregnancy but might need a gynecologist?
This is all my guess - I don’t know much about these topics.
you usually see a gynecologist for pap smears once a year, but there might be one willing to do prostate exams for post-op trans women … usually trans affirming gynecologists are for pro-op trans men
maybe post-op trans women would see a gynecologist, just not sure what for
The full title of that entry is actually “Obstetric and gynaecological devices associated with adverse incidents”, so maybe some of the men are actually the OB/GYN themselves that are getting injured in the course of their work? The raw number is only 19 cases, so I could see that being plausible
Alternatively, with so few cases, could it be intersex people who are still categorised as male under whatever criteria this is using? 1.7% seems a touch high for that, but maybe things go wrong more often for said intersex people
Edit: wait, 90 of the cases are 0-year-olds. I’m definitely going with injuries to babies during difficult births / C-sections / similar
I thought there’d be more “remove foreign object from up bum”.
That might be unisex.
The full data set (easily found on leobenedictus.substack.com) includes “Foreign body entering into or through eye or natural orifice”. It’s pretty evenly split, only leaning towards men by a few percentage points
Are those “prophylactic surgery”?
Interesting, especially with the numbers on the right. Good chart.
So… gynecological devices has some amount of males?
Maybe males being treated for post partum depression under obstetrics? Otherwise idk
Warning: use an incognito/privacy mode browser before googling ANY of the following.
Medical fetishists are a thing. I think it’s due to kink play with speculums, sounding tools, catheters, and other (gendered) medical instruments.
For men those things would land in a urology/andrology/proctology category.
What you actually need is a privacy respecting open source browser, the clear recent history button, and also, if your router is untrusted, DNS over HTTPS.
Yeah, trans men.
Men are dumb and put things in wrong places.
I blame the lack of sexual education in schools, of it was better then more men would understand the importance of a flared base
Anyone notice many, if not most, of male injuries are preventable?
How is that your takeaway? Are plastic surgery, horse riding, and pregnancy unavoidable hazards? All seem more preventable than violence, work injuries, and traffic collisions.
They’re expendable for the glory of our car-centric society
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.
agents acting on muscles and breathing? 🤔
It was just a massage I didn’t mean to hurt them!
Allergic reaction to substances (agents) causing paralysis, asphyxiation, shock, etc
why would this be a “female” reason to be admitted to the hospital?
The men just rub a little dirt in their lungs
Because guys are too fucking dumb to go to the hospital for something like not being able to breathe. I’m sure the statistic couldn’t breathe, tried to walk it off, regained consciousness the next morning in a ditch next to road, just went home, is probably just as full of guys as the other statistic was full of girls.
Someone above explained it better, but women are more likely to have unwanted and even dangerous side effects from medications because most meds were only ever properly tested on white men.
Drug effects. Prescription or recreational
wondering why that would be a primarily “female reason” for admission, then - wouldn’t drugs that impact breathing or muscles be administered or accessible to men as well?
Someone else suggested date rape drugs, that seems like a possibility - but is it typical for date rape drugged victims to end up in the hospital such that “agents acting on muscles and breathing” becomes the reason for admission? Just doesn’t make sense, tbh
Well it’s probably side effects from prescription drugs. So a lot of people don’t know this but a lot of prescription drugs only ever ran trials on white men. As you probably know. Men are typically physically larger than women and have a different muscle to fat ratio.
So it’s actually more common for women to have side effects from a lot of these drugs because the dosage is not adjusted for women.
Also. Toxic masculinity. Men are told not to complain about things like this. Even though they should. Men have a shorter life span and visit doctors less, coincidence?
To be fair, white males are the default of humanity…
/s (damn humanity and their conceited blindspots!!)
Even drugs for kids have mostly just been tested on adult white men.
They say it’s unethical to do drug testing on kids. So instead we just give millions of kids drugs that were never tested on them.
Geez, it’s madness isn’t it?
So more men do drugs but women OD way more?
Well it’s side effects. So a lot of people don’t know this but a lot of prescription drugs only ever ran trials on white men. As you probably know. Men are typically physically larger than women and have a different muscle to fat ratio.

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”
“Don’t threaten me with a good time” eh?
Females have arses too…
I’m not sure that’s in dispute?
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.
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.
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
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.
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!
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
Fake news.
Assault and two wheels. Things dudes should strive to avoid.
I think this is the source, also better image quality (in Boost at least it looks super compressed).
There’s a little HD button in the top right on Boost that I’m guessing shows the original image.
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.
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?
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 guess it depends on what the chart is made to convey
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.
The chart does include total admissions for each. Category, so you can compare the numbers across categories, I guess.
I imagine pregnancy-related admissions weren’t excluded because they eclipse everything else in magnitude. Surely if 1.6 million British males had been admitted for testicular torsion, you would find that illuminating.
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.
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?
deleted by creator
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”
deleted by creator
Yeah this is a super pointless list because it’s obvious they cherry picked data points to make the graph look dramatic.
I hope they’re using a lot of scaffoldings during the Epstein Ballroom construction
