Not The Babylon Bee:
Democratic Washington, D.C., Rep. Eleanor Holmes Norton introduced a bill Tuesday that would require car crash test dummies to use both male and female models.
“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. “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.”
Norton, who chairs the Subcommittee on Highways and Transit, noted the federal government uses crash test dummies based on male bodies and car companies are not required to use female models.
Go here to read the rest. I completely concur. In my experience female dummies are just as common as male dummies, so why should they not be equally represented in crash dummies? Oh wait, apparently dummy representation was achieved in 2012:
Peak stupidity.
An unemployed barmaid/AOC is exercising outsized influence over the economy and etc. She was elected by 11% of the registered imbecilic voters in her dysfunctional NY congressional district. I imagine this female congress dummy had about as many votes, too.
Thank God we live in a representative republic. This is one reason have no respect for democracy.
Good idea, now let’s require that when they show the mangled bodies, 51% will have been ladies?
Don’t all 52 genders need to be represented?
Will boys and girls, men and women, pay the same for car insurance?
Don’t all 52 genders need to be represented?
Ha! Comment of the week Dave! Take ‘er away Sam!

Thank you. Sir.
(I’m waiting for the question to come up on a conference call at work regarding my hobby of raising backyard chickens. “So Dave what kind of chickens did you order this year?” To which I’ll respond: “Chickens come in all shapes, sizes and colors.. but there are really only two kinds: hens and roosters.”
Then brace for HR impact.)
There’s already at least one female Crash Test Dummy:

Yeah, we really need more representation for DC in Congress.
The bottom video in the post makes a good point about height differences in safety. I can see it in the back seat as growing kids change how the car seats and seat belts fit.
Because congress has no other worries you see. Border issues? Who cares, these are just ‘brown people’ (some sold into slavery or who knows what), inflation? Does not affect those in congress. Gas or food shortages? Nasty Pelosi has a full frig of ice cream? Election fraud? Hey, Mr. Trump had to go to clear the way for the socialist reset.
