I miss Ogtha

Frame it as a public health issue if you want, I really don't care. There is an argument to call affirmative action racist, but pregnancy and breast cancer are biological processes, not rules/systems created by society. No one is calling them sexist. There are plenty of issues in society that disproportionately hurt men that need to be resolved too and until there is an alternative term that is well known, I will happily call the draft and handling of men's mental health sexist too. Why can't we say that gender affects people's quality of life in different ways and try to address that? You don't need malicious people to make a certain demographic's lives worse.

Did you even read it? The investigation found that women were more likely to trip chain (i.e. take multiple stops on their daily journeys that required exiting the car). E.g. leave work, pick up dry cleaning, pick up kids from school, drop them off at extracurricular activities. They were also found to do more walking in the vicinity of the home. More time spent walking means greater chances you will slip and fall.

I believe the investigation/test was done with the explicit motive to check if there was gender based biases affecting the system. It was an audit the local government was conducting on themselves to question the status quo of how cities are run. A system doesn't need to be sexist in intent to be sexist in impact. If a lot of systems like urban planning and road cleaning were put into place at a time where it was only men making the decisions, don't you think there may have been blind spots? And doesn't it make sense to go looking for those blind spots because by definition you don't know where they are unless you look?

I mean, aside from not wanting to walk, there is another reason women may want to park closer to the entrance. I was taught to park close to the entrance in a well lit part of the lot to reduce the odds of getting jumped by some creep. Not saying that is the case for your girlfriend but worth considering.
