Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-DC)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

KoB sends in word that Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-DC), the non-voting delegate from DC to the US House of Representatives has introduced legislation of real substance for her constituents. Is this something that’s going to address the issues of homicides in the District? They were up 19% year over year from 2019 to 2020 and are up so far 22% this year over last? Of course not! It’s pushing identity politics onto inanimate objects. Not joking.<\/p>\n

Fox News reports<\/a>;<\/p>\n

The world of auto crash-test dummies is apparently male-dominated \u2013 but a Democrat in Congress is hoping to change that, according to a report.<\/p>\n

Delegate Eleanor Holmes Norton, the non-voting representative of Washington, D.C., says the lack of female crash-test dummies means that vehicle collision risks for women are not adequately studied, according to the Washington Times.<\/p>\n

Norton serves on the House Transportation subcommittee on highways and transit. She called for Congress to introduce legislation regarding her concerns.<\/p>\n

“Women have achieved equality on the road when it comes to driving but when it comes to safety testing to keep them safe on the road, they are nowhere near achieving equality,” Norton said in a statement, according to the Times.<\/p>\n

“Crash-test standards are incredibly antiquated and we must update these standards now, especially as more people return to their daily commute in the next few months.”<\/p>\n

Federal researchers use only male crash-test dummies, and car manufacturers face no legal requirement to use both male and female dummies, Norton\u2019s office said, according to the Times.<\/p>\n

The delegate asserted that, as a consequence, women travelers were at a “higher risk of injury.”<\/p>\n

Norton\u2019s office claimed that male-only dummies could not adequately provide the data to show how women\u2019s crash reactions would differ from those of men. They pointed to differences in anatomy as well as average neck strength and posture, the Times reported.<\/p>\n

Women drivers or front-seat passengers were 17% more likely to die in a crash than men, a National Highway Safety Administration study found, according to the report.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The Crash Test Dummies<\/a> are already 25% female, but women\u00a0do\u00a0<\/em>make up slightly more than half of the population. Even though they’re Canadian, Norton’s got their number and will rectify this systemic disparity.<\/p>\n

If Congress does mandate<\/del> womandate female dummies, how long before a Congressman, Senator, or President is caught groping one or sniffing it? Also, what about gender non-conforming people? Does their safety not matter, Congresswoman?)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
