The world’s first true female car crash dummy is here — and it's a big deal

Car crash tests check a vehicle's safety only for men. Here is how a dummy representing the ladies can make the tests better.

Well, we’ve had cars for a long time….but finally we’ll be testing them for safety for women, too.

In a sea of bad news, today this got me excited.

      Ok I’ll put this another way, the mental health of both men and women is compromised by sexism. Women are underdiagnosed with neural diversity like autism and adhd and disproportionately diagnosed with mood disorders. The prevalence of “men dont cry or show emotion/weakness” sexism results in men not seeking or receiving the care and support needed.

      But sure, lets all pretend the system is fine and not broken from every direction.
