Hey, it's 80% of reported violent crime. We're just better at it and don't get caught, obvs.

    But but but if they did 80% then MEN wouldn't be taken seriously!!!!!

    How so? They can both do 80%. This will increase the total number of crimes to 160% but that's a sacrifice I'm willing to pay to protect equality, the second amendment and the free world.

    So who’s committing the final 80% of crime then? Nonbinary people?

    80% (women) + 80% (men) + 80% (non binary) + 80% (pets) = 160% (total)

    Children aren't allowed to do crime. It's illegal for them

    That's not how maths works.

    [Excuse me while I "mansplain"] But if women want to increase their violent crimes to match men's, they need to increase by an additional 300%. This would result in a total increase of violent crimes of 60% more violent crime.

    C'mon girls! Try harder!

    Do your part to achieve equality!

    Then maybe men can cease being expected to open doors, put toilet seats down, put women and children first, die in wars, buy dinner and flowers, carry all the heavy things, fend off attackers, fix everything, [(quietly)] die younger, thrive without emotional support, be sole provider as a trad-hubby gentleman sigma-male feminist-ally bad-boy softie stoic emoting funny but only in a specific way and tall but not too tall and looking good with a six-pack without spending time working on it and whatever else in the cluster of impossible contradictions, alone.

    That's because you're measuring physical violence, not psychological. We skate under the radar once again.

    I am just a 5’ honey badger waiting for my moment. Closest call was that time Jehovah witnesses peered into my car while I was alone at night outside of a store. Turns out they are easily frightened when you hold your car horn down long enough though.

    what's unnerving is that there lots of POW reports that indicate that women showcase far more cruelty towards female POWs compared to men.

    Studies have also shown women in power tend to block more women from being promoted to positions of power.

    If it helps at all, it's not entirely true, statistically, just very slightly funny when not explained. Men are like 75% of the victims in homicides and lead in other violent crimes, if my Googling is correct. Women do lead in other categories, though, so it's still competitive. I'm not trying to take anything away from anybody. But I also admit "borders on bad taste" is pretty much the line I walk.

    Imagine running an excavator with a hard hat on like you don't have ROPS/FOPS.

    Could be in and out of the machine often at a site/plant that requires it outside and doesn't bother to take it off?

    The reality is that it's probably a photoshoot

    I can just imagine it now. Me, in my little hard hat, on a big ol excavator, paying no mind to the ROPS/FOPS overhead, completely safe from all the debris that wants nothing more than to crack open my noggin, excavating to my hearts content!

    Oh what a day that would be!

    You do realize everyone has to wear a hard hat on a construction site by osha safety standards right?

    I'm googling OSHA and it seems to be some American thing, not a global rule?

    If you are talking globally then using a country specific name for it seems confusing

    What do you mean? We're just describing what we see in the picture and how it compares to our lived experience.

    Does your country have an osha or can people go to construction sites without hardhats, or do you have a regulating body but hardhats aren't required / the rules aren't enforced?

    Saying OSHA is like saying Kleenex to us, we don't even realize it is a brand name. It has become the generic term in our en_us language anyway.

    You were saying "I hope you realize that OSHA requires it" or whatever and that's kinda hostile and weird since you don't even know if they are American/have OSHA so what relevance does your stuff have to them

    My tenuous guess, Scandi/Germanic... But that's just her in the cab.

    I don't know the machinery well enough to hazard a guess.

    But even if still there, then yeah, there'd for sure be safety regs insisting on hard hats all the time on site.

    Sure it is a redundant protection but as a longtime journey level construction worker I can tell you you still have to wear a hard hat on construction sites anywhere on site

    As a long time equipment operator who puts their hard hat on only outside of the equipment, okay.

    No offense but we just moved from everyone on a construction site needs one to the construction sites in your area needs one.

    I wouldn't have disagreed with you if you started with that.

    I know cal osha requires everyone at all times needs a hard hat on a construction site. I don’t work small private residential cal osha may be more strict on bigger jobs but it is an osha requirement here so I assumed it was a federal osha policy. I know it was definitely covered in my osha 10 and OSHA 30 courses. I was also an instructor for my trade union and this is what is taught in the nationwide union curriculum and yes any heavy equipment we use we have to wear a hard hat while operating nationwide In my trade.

    I, for one, for sure, would be grateful for the hard hat in a ROPS event. Even a FOPS event.

    Imagine not putting on a hard hat when you’re no longer protected by ROPS/FOPS.
