‘Why Women Are Especially Vulnerable During India's Deadly Heat Waves’ - yeah because men are totally immune to heat waves 🙄

Casual Labour Statistics point out that 75% of the Labourers doing menial jobs (ie those which require working in the open) are MEN.

This involves working in 45 degrees of heat in Road, Bridge and building construction projects. Most of the women stay at home being housewives or work in lighter indoor activities (Plastering).

In Short, 75% of the casual labour men work in the open, women most affected.

Ronita Bardhan, an associate professor who co-authored the 2023 Cambridge study, says that while people of all genders are equally unable to cope beyond a certain temperature, women are less likely to take protective measures from the heat. “Women will not do any sort of intervention unless the temperature crosses around 32°C [89.6°F] whereas men will start to access any sort of cooling intervention as soon as it crosses around 28 or 29°C [82 or 84°F],” Bardhan says.

also mentions lack of toilets so women are less likely to drink water.

Toilet issue has some logic but why are women not responding to the heat proactively?

Simply an attempt to paint women as more victimized to justify more help/aid for them.

If men-eating aliens come to earth, I am sure women will be the most affected.

women are less likely to take protective measures from the heat

Men who are working in construction only wear vest, a jeans and a helmet.

Sun shines, women just affected.

Those office jobs must be so hard...

FourthHarbinger · 2023-06-24T15:01:52+00:00

At this point I'm burnt out on hearing about how women are such victims all the time

I don't care anymore

NekoiNemo · 2023-06-24T15:33:35+00:00

... Aren't women biologically predisposed to handle hot temperatures better? Isn't that the reason why women always complain how they are "freezing" when the office AC already set to 26 degrees, and all the men are sweating profusely?

Having had a heat stroke myself, if there is any difference between the sexes in heat endurance, it is negligible. And if there was a science experiment designed to test any difference it would be an immoral one.

The reason that people feel that their problems are so much worse than other people's problems is simply because their problems are happening to them..

When they extrapolate that to an entire identity group, that's when you get this but it's so much worse for us nonsense..

It's really just a logical fallacy based around lack of empathy for those others over there..

Essentially, humans suck at seeing the big picture from other people's perspectives..

It doesn't help that society pits us against each other in a cage match either..

That article is the stupidest fucking thing I’ve ever saw all day

jhld · 2023-06-24T16:29:43+00:00

Their cause’s always seem to perpetuate the myth that women are so weak and feeble

SecTeff · 2023-06-24T21:01:18+00:00

What are the actual stats on the numbers of men vs women killed by these heatwaves. I can’t see it mentioned in this article and I can’t see any links to studies.

If there is a gender based discrepancy then that’s worthy of scientific investigation and if there is any discrimination that ought to be tackled.

Without knowing this information it’s hard to see how the article stacks up.

Even in late nights in the middle of June, heat waves been fakin' them out

wowelysiumthrowaway · 2023-06-25T00:17:04+00:00

Women have lower body heat and dont have to work outside ;)

Hornydaddy696 · 2023-06-25T08:03:37+00:00

Funniest news I've read.

DemonKai7 · 2023-06-25T11:09:48+00:00

🤣

Wise_Bodybuilder_224 · 2023-06-25T15:05:07+00:00

Looks like men have mastered the art of sweating and working hard in the heat! 😂👍

qemist · 2023-06-24T21:07:51+00:00

Zzzzzzz....

Every issue "hits women hardest" because people care so much more about how women are affected. It has been this way forever yet this sub still thinks it's interesting.

aigars2 · 2023-06-25T07:37:12+00:00

Victimisation of women articles are now a whole subcategory of news

nambivpn · 2023-06-25T06:21:36+00:00

As an Indian, I can confirm this is true. We men have some sort of protective shield around us, thanks to the benevolence of patriarchy.
