I would actually agree that there should be gender equality in crash test dummies. We can start with Delegate Eleanor Holmes Norton, Kamala Harris, AOC, Nancy Pelosi, Maxine Waters, Ilham Omar, Ayanna Pressley, and Rashida Tlaib...... Sarcasm a side, this just proves how delusional the Democrats are getting. Gender equality in dummies. That is beyond stupid.

Consumer Reports wrote a 2019 article about it as a legitimate issue. Car manufacturers and government agencies rely on unbiased data in order to ensure effective safety standards. Bodies react differently in car accidents based not only on size, but composition. Not including female dummies or relying on only one type of dummies can mean greater risk of injury or death due to improper "one size fit all" designs

The Crash Test Bias: How Male-Focused Testing Puts Female Drivers at Risk
Consumer Reports examines the crash test bias, the relationship between male-biased crash tests and data that shows that women are more likely to be seriously injured in real-world crashes.

It is not one size fits all. NHTSA already does take factors into consideration. NHTSA "A lot of research goes into these dummies before they are put into use. Each of us differs in size and weight, so each crash test dummy is designed differently too. NHTSA’s family of dummies representation ranges from newborn infant to 6-year-old children to small females and average males. We're always looking to enhance their abilities, and in recent years advanced biomechanics research and measurement technologies have helped to improve crash dummy development." https://www.nhtsa.gov/nhtsas-crash-test-dummies

Meet NHTSA’s family of crash test dummies currently in service. The diverse group of dummieshelps us understand and measure the human body’s movement during a crash, and see how it fares withvarious vehiclesafety features.

Mass is really what we need to look at when objects come to a quick stop and while different bodies can get different injuries, are we going to design cars that better protect a certain gender? If we are really going to look at crash dummies differently, it should be our elders that injure so much easier, not male v female. My 77 yo Father will fracture his hip ten times easier than my 42yo wife.

"the lack of female crash-test dummies means that vehicle collision risks for women are not adequately studied"
Yes because its commonly known women have vital organs in different locations than men......Oh wait...no that's not true at all...So what could be her scientific and rational reasoning for her suggestion?????
(LOL< its rhetorical folks, she has none)

CW4 Guy Butler - And do we know such differences are not being accounted for? Or is the "outer skin looks" something we are forbade these days from taking into account the only thing we have to go on with the information available?

CW4 Guy Butler - I will admit I learned something, that the female test unit is only designed to meet the 5th percentile of females driving ... I must say I find that interesting, terrible, unacceptable and curious as to the reason....... As much as I dislike the delegate's delivery I'll admit, it needed to be put out there.
