Group pushes for gender equity in vehicle crash testing
They do have a need for Dummies
[FoxNews] Car crash-test dummies may help demonstrate how well vehicles withstand hazards, but safety advocates argue current models aren’t doing enough to protect typical American drivers. The group Verity Now, Vehicle Equity Rules in Transportation, is urging the Biden Administration to bring equity and equality to the government’s 5-star safety rating program.

The advocate group, which is co-chaired by a former GOP member of Congress, is urging Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg to require more diversity in the use of crash test dummies. In a letter sent to the secretary this week, the group argued it's a matter of life and death.

"Government standards for vehicle crash testing are outdated and unequal, causing thousands of women to be needlessly killed and injured every year," said former Congresswoman Susan Molinari, co-chair of VERITY NOW. In an interview with FOX on Wednesday, Molinari insisted the public was likely unaware how many government tests rely on a male-shaped dummy first developed in the 1970s. Verity Now’s letter was co-signed by a large group of notable Washington insiders including former Senators Olympia Snowe (R-Maine) and Heidi Heitkamp (D-N.D.).

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration insists it is using a variety of dummies on many of its tests.

Define Gender in this weird, freak ran world?
Where Guys play in female sports because they "FEEL" Female but are built like a male?
Where kids are encouraged to think they are animals and not human.

Where Liberalism is responsible for Selective Racism, Crime, censorship and mainstreaming of mental illnesses.
