- Working at a man in construction/military/transportation gets you more respect when telling others what you do for a living than women that work in pornography/sex work.
- A number of injuries that happen as a result of pornography (e.g. rape) are not reported because they would negatively affect their further career in the industry.
- I doubt any of those stats include the work-related injuries of sex workers.
- Some of those industries have insulated themselves from women. E.g. the military hasn't really decided at it's core that they want to have women, even though they do a bunch of PR about it.
- It's also possible that men are more likely to take work-related risks. E.g. give in to the boss that demands your construction worksite will not comply with OSHA because it's 'too costly.'
- dismantlethesun 10y agoThe number of women in pornography/sex work is likely dwarfed by the number of construction workers. I'll grant you there's much less official statistics on this, so the best I found is that there are 1 million prostitutes in the USA, but 6.6 million construction workers. Due to that, numerically, there will be more deaths in construction work even if you are 6x more likely to die as a prostitute. Thus if construction is male dominated, and prostitution is female dominated... then you'll simply see more male deaths per year than female deaths.
- nostrebored 10y agoRight, because death is the only type of workplace injury, and the only one that we should care about. The statistics on the longevity of prostitutes and people in pornography are also less than official, but many analyses place it around 40.
