[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]According to statistics compiled by Aetna, logging is the occupation with the highest death rate worldwide, with 137 deaths per 100,000 workers annually.  Meanwhile, the worldwide maternal mortality rate is 211 per 100,000 live births.[/quote]

Arguably that has more to do with the sheer number of impoverished mothers and poor health conditions in the third world than the inherent nature of either pursuit. Statistically, the birth rate being so much higher in the poorest countries would inevitably skew the numbers to show childbirth as much more dangerous than it really is.[/quote]

Sure.  The numbers aren’t accurate or a true reflection of the dangers of childbirth, but I am sure there is no disputing any (male dominated) occupational safety concerns.  🙄[/quote]

I thought this thread was about the US draft?  What are the US rates for maternal mortality/morbidity? For US loggers?

Women should be drafted, just like men. There are plenty of non-combat roles to go around. [/quote]

No one is conscripted into logging.
But plenty of women get raped. Many of them by their fellow service members.

Just like college women being “date raped” at parties.   Does this mean women should no longer attend college? [/quote]
