As soon as I saw cyclist I knew this was the UK.
This information will surely only be used to inform rational and socially progressive ideas about gender
This is embarrassing to men. You’re suppose to walk those sorts of injuries.
And try harder to get pregnant!
Indeed, I walked off my incidental pregnancy.
Interesting, especially with the numbers on the right. Good chart.
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’m not sure that’s in dispute?
They don’t poop, why would they have one?
If girls had buttholes they’d also fart so definitely fake news!
That’s right. Nature don’ts make stuffs for no reason’. That’s the beauty of it
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.
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.

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
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.
“Don’t threaten me with a good time” eh?
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.
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.
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?
Yeah this is a super pointless list because it’s obvious they cherry picked data points to make the graph look dramatic.
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?
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)
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.
God forbid someone who doesn’t natively speak English doesn’t know the nuance between these words that are often not used “properly”
I hope they’re using a lot of scaffoldings during the Epstein Ballroom construction
what is “agents acting on muscles and breathing” ?
My interpretation was drugs which are CNS depressants or paralytics. A benzo overdose presumably falls into this category, maybe also opioids. It can’t include alcohol though, because people drinking until paralytic is not an overwhelmingly female phenomenon (I believe it is currently pretty even)
Sad to see that women seem to not cycle very much in England…
Or maybe they’re just safer when they ride. “Cyclist, object collision” sounds like it’s basically always the cyclist’s fault given the other available categories, like someone riding too fast and hitting a stationary object.
There’s twice as many non-collision accidents as all the collision categories combined. People just wiping out, which definitely sounds like too fast for the turn, showboating, etc. Not that women can’t do all that - it just feels like much more stereotypically male behavior.
Or to put it in the nicer way: BMX and mountainbiking, as well as children learning to ride
People don’t cycle that much overall, due to perception and poor infrastructure, but yeah it’s also skewed by gender. My impression is that the public perception of poor safety is something that most people are exposed to, but weighs more heavily on women.
Perhaps they do but in a more sensible manner.
I’d be super curious to see how much of that is food delivery bikers. In my city, they are everywhere but I’m not dude I’ve ever seen a woman doing it. But in terms of reckless cycling, those delivery folks are way over represented (which makes sense, their income depends on speed.)
Okay so no two wheelers, not assaulting anyone and fuck the lawnmower I’m gonna hit 100 years!
Do not fuck the lawnmower
While it’s running.
dont tell me who to love, dad!
unlike you, the lawnmover loves me to bits!
It’s a bit surprising to me that mowing the lawn is a male thing, my assumption is that it would be stereotyped to women because it is a maintenance task and for some reason women are stereotyped as the ones doing those.
P.S. “stereotype” seems like the wrong word here but can’t think of anything better
The old hand powered needed a lot of force, so maybe that’s why it mas “a man thing” in peoples minds. I have absolutely no idea if that is still the case today.
The thing with lawnmowers is most commonly it’s either they reached in to clear a blockage or it’s a ride on lawnmower that rolled. Seriously rolling a lawnmower is super deasly (same goes for ATVs)
can you repost this as a bingo card? i might win
Im actually afraid to ask what prophylactic surgery is, what why its so common for both
tube tying?
meanwhile vasectomy is an outpatient procedure so not as many hospital visits?
Repairing butthole after rough anal?
Looks like it’s cancer prevention https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prophylactic_surgery
Animal-rider or animal-drawn vehicle accident
Psychosocial problemsHorse girls gettin’ called out.
So… gynecological devices has some amount of males?

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.
Maybe males being treated for post partum depression under obstetrics? Otherwise idk
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
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.
