    Men are far more likely than women to ignore the pedestrian crossing and take a risky route across the street. http://lebs.hbesj.org/index.php/lebs/article/view/lebs.2018.65 … The pedestrian crossing as a Microcosmos of society: https://plus.google.com/101046916407340625977/posts/dt3eVHDEwr3 …pic.twitter.com/FmblRgfOCe

        Further confirms what everyone already knew: generally, men and women are exactly the same, and in the rare instances in which they're not, women are always better. @Patriarch_Tree

        There is also a difference between countries: in Germany and Belgium pedestrians wait for the light to turn green, in the UK and the Netherlands less so.

        It's more about rule breaking than risk taking. Most men check for safety before jaywalking.

        Agreed. And rule breaking IN certain contexts. Easy to imagine contexts that reverse the finding...

        There is also studies demonstrating that toxoplasma cysts in neural and muscular tissues, leading to prolongation of reaction times in infected worldwide population of 30-60% has causality to RTAs/RTCs. So we also need to blame cats.

        crossing the street ,laughable ,seeing how that is about the biggest risk a woman takes in her day to day .You had no choice but to make it the subject of comparison.Even chickens cross the road ,Women do it to eventually get to work .A mans job risk merely starts there .
