Could someone explain the title for a non native speaker?
I’ve been a foreign body in Mexico. Nice to see I’m finally being recognized in graph form.
Seeing Ear and Nose near the top makes me think of how many of them must be insects.
I was like, oooo the males have a 0% on there, and then I saw it was the vagina, so yeah that makes sense.
I’m assuming the reason why men are so much more likely to have something in their eyes is because of them being more likely to be involved in construction/industrial work and not wearing any/proper eye-protection while doing it?
Also, not surprised by the disproportion for the anus thing. Mostly just surprised it’s that far down the list…
Why are men leading significantly in all eye-related categories? (e.g. Cornea, conjunctival sac)
Guys not pulling their weight in the vagina/vulva/uterus categories.
Amateurs
The severe gendered lines for shit going in your eyes might be explained by manual labor, seems like an investment in ocular PPE would pay returns.
So basically the only categories where women “outperform” statistically (meaning a greater proportion of the injuries than the proportion of women to men in the overall population) are ‘Nasal passage’, and by a statistically insignificant amount, and ‘Bladder’, oddly, though I would bet there’s a medical reason for that.
Everywhere else, *especially* the butt, men are, unsurprisingly, way more likely to stick something up there they shouldn’t.
Men are way overrepresented in the “anus and rectum” category.
Like men are just dumber about picking objects.
How did people managed to push things so far inside that it got stuck in their bladder or uterus
Apparently men “accidentally” get more objects stuffed in anoose.
Men and refusing eye-protection. I’m convinced y’all just secretly want an eyepatch like a pirate.
