Just when you thought you’ve seen, read and heard it all, this crap comes out. Communist Democrats in Congress are demanding that crash test dummies have “equality” and stop being so “male”. Welcome to Bidenville and commieland, where crash test dummies are more important than actual human beings!
The world of auto crash-test dummies is apparently male-dominated – but a Democrat in Congress is hoping to change that, according to a report.
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.
Norton serves on the House Transportation subcommittee on highways and transit. She called for Congress to introduce legislation regarding her concerns.
“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.
“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.”
Federal researchers use only male crash-test dummies, and car manufacturers face no legal requirement to use both male and female dummies, Norton’s office said, according to the Times.
The delegate asserted that, as a consequence, women travelers were at a “higher risk of injury.”
