This is a false analogy. Men tend to be 40% to 60% stronger than women and testosterone is well linked with aggressiveness.
A better comparison might be people not wanting civilized chimpanzees for drivers.
If my daughter or wife wants a female driver I am 100% ok with that.

- montjoy 1y agoWhich statistics? Are you talking about statistics linking poverty to crime? Or lead ingestion leading to aggressiveness? Or are you just being subtly racist?
- AaronAPU 1y agoThrowing out that word as a weapon doesn’t work anymore, let’s stay on the logical chain of the conversation. Having a proposed explanation for statistical correlations doesn’t change the amount of danger a driver or passenger is in. So why would one set of statistics be used to allow discrimination but another not?
- Mawr 1y agoAnd citing such statistics is different from citing crime statistics broken down by race how?
- montjoy 1y agoCrime statistics are heavily influenced by poverty and environmental conditions. The average man, however, is always stronger than the average woman. I invite you to ask 5 female friends how safe they feel meeting a random male and asking for help where they will be forced to share a confined space.
- lucyjojo 1y agocrime statistics is a social construct biological male/female strength difference is factual reality.
