Just the FACT that the Dementocrats have more interest in large chunks of plastic, and have NO interest in the problems of human beings, should be reason enough to eliminate them all!!
That is completely unfair. Maybe you should have read the article.
“More important than differences in average height between males and females, there are also biological differences in anatomy, such as average neck strength and posture, that affect how female and male bodies react in a crash,” Norton’s office said in a statement.
Car companies still typically use a dummy modeled off of the 50th percentile male, which was standardized in the 1970’s, according to Consumer Reports. The dummy is a 171-pound, five-foot nine-inch male, even though the average male today is 26 pounds heavier, according to the report.
While males tend to drive more miles than women and are more likely to speed, drive under the influence and not wear a seatbelt, according to Consumer Reports, women are more likely to die.
Female drivers and passengers are roughly 17% more likely to be killed in a car crash than a male occupant of the same age, according to a report from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).
“Females are not just smaller versions of males,” co-scientific director of the Center for Injury Research and Prevention at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia Kristy Abrogast said, according to Consumer Reports. “They’re put together differently. Their material properties–their structure– is different.”
Sounds to me like, in the context of a transportation committee, she IS showing reasonable concern for actual people.
Bullcrap!
If thats your argument, then there should be over 10,000 different dummies for "male" dummies and "female" dummies! Too many variables in humans. Dummies are made to a national average of human beings, not any one particular sex..........regardless of what PERSONAL OPINIONS are told by these consumer reports dungheads.
Standard dummies are fitted with a LOT of sensors and adjustment features to mimic ANY KIND OF HUMAN body or trait that is needed, in order for those testing the machines to get a good idea of what is happening!!
For the kind of testing YOU want, they would have to use REAL.........LIVE..........PEOPLE!! And aren't you a sick one for wanting that! Although I would agree prisoners, illegals, Libtardz, Snowflakes, BLM's, and Democrats could easily be sacrificed for such strides in safety.
Wow, that was certainly a whole lot of "This is how I see it, therefore this MUST be the only thing anyone could have meant!" there.
Come back and see me if you ever want to discuss the actual story, and not the partisan kneejerk fantasies you invented in your own head, won't you? I understand that all you can hear is, "Democrat, talking about genders, MUST BE IDENTITY POLITICS, HAS TO BE WRONG, I MUST OPPOSE ALL DEMOCRATS ON EVERYTHING!!" but I don't waste a lot of time talking to unhinged party fanatics as though they were real people, no matter what side they think they're on.
It is politics. Democrats are trying to override what the science community has established has a standard and trying to muck up our safety testing by adding tens of thousands of unnecessary variables at great expense.
No, as far as I can tell, it's not politics. It's just you WANTING it to be politics, because you're stuck in your own rut of four or five automatic reactions, just the same as the left is stuck in theirs.
A person who happens to be a Democrat is trying to update the way we conduct crash safety tests in order to make people safer, and you are saying, "We've always done it this way, so it's good enough, and since you're a Democrat, it MUST only be for identity politics."
No one's asking for "tens of thousands of unnecessary variables". She's asking for crash test dummies built with a body composition more like female bodies instead of male. YOU are the only one insisting that means "tens of thousands of unnecessary variables" . . . and by the way, I appreciate you considering female safety to be "unnecessary" because you think it costs too much to actually conduct tests about it, rather than just "extrapolating" from men.
Why do you Leftards hate science?
Science uses a standard to test with and via qualification testing extrapolates results.
Figures you put your trust in a Deep State politician rather than scientists.
Why do you kneejerks think, "She disagrees with me, that MUST mean she's a leftist?" doesn't make you look even more blindly, ignorantly reactionary than you already did?
Science uses a standard to test with that actually represents what they're testing. If it's testing
two things that are quite different, it uses two representative standards. Saying, "I can just test for men, and then make assumptions about women from that" is like saying, "Dogs are descended from wolves, so they're both the same."
Figures you put your trust in blanket slogans instead of actual thought. Why don't you go back, look at my posting history, see who you're dismissing as a "leftist" because it's easier than making a real argument, and then come back and see if I'm willing to accept your humiliated apology?
As far as I'm concerned, you abjectly surrendered the entire debate the moment you went with, "You're wrong because you must be a leftist who likes the deep state." Way to stomp on your own johnson, dumbass.
