"Can snow-clearing be sexist?"
Their databases are dominated by pedestrians who are injured three times more often than motorists in slippery or icy conditions and account for half the hospital time of all traffic related injuries. And the majority of these pedestrians are women. A study of pedestrian injuries in the Swedish city area of Umea found that 79% occurred during the winter months and that women made up 69% of those who had been injured in single person incidents that is, those which didn't involve anyone else
I'm not sure that the policy was a failure, in part because injuries requiring a hospital visit reportedly spiked, neglecting to note that it was pedestrian injuries that had spiked, illustrating that the problem was not that pedestrians had been prioritized, but that snow clearing as a whole had not been conducted effectively. Motorists may not have been traveling well, but neither was anyone else. The following winter was much more successful
And now, whether it is due to specific policies which are either feminists or non feminist or I think many times it's just people don't think enough more than anything else. And the moment you start digging into and kind of questioning your assumptions, you will find things can be improved, can be made different. So thank you for sharing. If you don't mind, please do share the link to the book as well
Oh, my goodness. Of course. Thank you so much. I don't know how I forgot that, but, yes, here's the link. It's to the Amazon US website. But hopefully, no matter where you are on the planet, amazon will redirect you to the appropriate store
