> Oh, and in case you’re wondering, I have no idea why women tend to be more susceptible to electric currents than men!
The pain thresholds are given in a table that is split by
men and women. I believe the assumption is different conductivity between “typical” male/female bodies, but it’s really not spelled out.

- amelius 3y agoYes, on one hand it's strange because body fat decreases conductivity, and women have typically larger amount of body fat (25% versus 15%). https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK218162/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK218162/ However, men are typically larger, so perhaps that's the reason.
