Politics without empathy is just greedy capitalism.
A bee isn't going to waste time trying to convince a fly that honey is sweeter than shite...
But it's not like the trolls truly care about the reasons. They're just finding opportunities to hate women.

I think part of the cause is that men can put on more muscle proportional to body mass, meaning they tip a balance of weight/strength.

Carrying that much muscle bulk slows them down. Whereas with women, they can't put on as much muscle as easily, and so they retain speed.

Imagine if it was Kerry gold.....

Too busy spending money on bike sheds and a children's hospital that went 400% over budget.

Imagine taking 3/4 of that budget and splitting it between every disabled person in the country. They could afford to heat their homes and eat this winter at a minimum.

I think the latter. The last contracts ended and they've opted to move to the PWR.

Neither am I, but you raised a red herring.

If you don't want an argument, don't use tactics designed to stoke confrontation.

I agree, I didn't claim it was one or the other.

I clearly stated that one in the absence of the other is the problem.

I agree

But

In the interest of tackling risk, they need to tackle driver attitudes and awareness. They need to hold drivers accountable, because they caused the most risk.

I can imagine for some, it feels like victim blaming when the responsibility is placed on the cyclist instead of the drivers.

I once hit a cyclist (they were fine) because they had no lights and came from the side at night, meaning my headlights could not have seen them. They were absolutely invisible to me.

It does happen. Visibility does help. But the main issue is bad drivers, aggressive drivers and impatient drivers.

Ooooooh, that's beautiful

See also, the bible never mentions trans people, so it being against his religion is also a lie.

And no doubt, they're the patriarchy friendly women too.

I will not argue against that

At least. You're CEO, manager, labourer, accountant, marketing and HR!
