81 out of 83 (98%) of 2020 bravery award recipients were men. A reminder of the danger men put themselves in to protect their loved ones and their communities. Funny how we never hear of this gender imbalance.

Bravery Awards Called Out For Sexism

A spokesperson said

"We need more women here, they are 50% of the population, therefore they should be 50% of the bravery

Whilst sexist criteria is allowed to be used such as running into burning buildings, apprehending armed criminals, quelling of prison riots, women's heroism is left ignored "

I did go off to find a bravery award for a AU woman as I wanted to just be satirical and show there are some brave women out there.

However..... I can't allow the first article I found to pass Link

"In July 2017, Katherine Brock was working on the movie set of Aquaman on the Gold Coast when she saw a runaway golf cart careering towards an animal handler and two donkeys."

In fairness it was an act of bravery which she sustained bad injuries from (Thankfully recovered) but for fucks sake, I couldn't have made that header up to contrast the people in the OP's link

That's because women are not brave. They have higher levels of neuroticism. They're more likely to be security freaks.
