      There are good reasons to not be vaccinated, but the ones that specifically apply more to men than to women have to do with being jackasseshttps://twitter.com/andizeisler/status/1385337662878359553 …

      I am now flashing back to the incident I've mentioned before where my dad got a ticket for not wearing a seatbelt and then went on this two-hour tirade about the nanny state treating like a child and Americans forgetting their own founding values and so on

      (I know young people will probably refuse to believe "seatbelt resistance" was ever a thing but it was absolutely a thing Seatbelt laws only slowly came in state-by-state during the 1980s and people were fucking PISSED about it)

      It's probably still a thing, right? I wonder what our rates are now.

      It's probably a lot higher after they made car companies put in the alarm that goes off if the weight sensor detects an occupant in a front seat with an unbuckled belt when the engine turns on But that itself was this big controversial regulatory fight

      All the way back in the 70s they talked about having an ignition interlock system so the car straight up won't start if the driver doesn't have their seatbelt fastened But that was decried as tyranny and then Congress actually made ignition interlocks illegal on regular cars

          Yup Back when I was born, "fastening your seatbelt" was something that cool young badass dudes confident in their driving skills would only do if they were about to enter a particularly dangerous situation It's stupid and fucked up

          (You can have such systems on cop cars and military vehicles and company cars and whatnot but for cars sold to the general public you can't because it's tyranny) It's been a long slow fight over the course of two or three generations

          As someone who actually drove a car equipped with an interlock before Congress prohibited them, I'm not a big fan. I use a seatbelt 100% anyhow, so I don't benefit directly from the interlock. And there were several times it malfunctioned and kept me from starting the car.

          ... which is a real problem if you've just stalled the car in traffic and can't restart it to get it out of the way. Or my nightmare low probability scenario, stalling it on a RR crossing. Alarms are fine, but I couldn't wait to lose that interlock when it was legal to do so.
