This response focuses on who the gritting routes benefit without specifically acknowledging who the routes neglect and how.
I’m sure you comprehended more than that after reading the entire article. They even elaborated and included injury statistics to support their claims.
BTW sexism, etc. is not necessarily an intention or a feeling. Nobody (in this context) is trying to say anyone went out of their way to intentionally create a disadvantage for women. The argument is that this important decision regarding gritting routes was made during a time when working men’s needs were prioritized over anyone else’s and it needs updating (which some may see as implying someone made intentional decisions to disadvantage women but that would be them erroneously conflating creating benefits for men with creating disadvantages for women — it’s possible to benefit both).
(To reiterate) the article also provided common examples and peer-reviewed data for the requested considerations.
