evidence: The result has been car safety innovations that benefit men and men only. For example, women are two to three times more likely to suffer whiplash injuries than men, likely because they have less muscle and more boniness around their neck than men do. Out of the two different whiplash protection designs from the 1990s though, only one protected men and women equally. The other reduced life-altering whiplash crash injuries up to 70% for male occupants – and had no benefit for female vehicle occupants.
