As long as you’re bullshitting, you also need to figure in that a number of male car-related deaths are probably OTJ as well, given commutes to and from work as well as professions involving road travel. But already this is making my head hurt. :)

Men who die in vehicular accidents while on the job are already counted in the official statistics - in fact, if I recall correctly, that’s the single most common kind of workplace death.

Deaths while commuting aren’t counted, though.

About 70% of women who live with their husbands have jobs aside from being housewives; put another way, 30% of wives could be described as full-time housewives.

It would have to be over 30%; some women effectively work two full-time jobs.

I’d just note that the distracted-by-turf-wars-over-the-back-seat-while-driving-with-small-children factor just might overwhelm the anecdotal evidence that parents drive more cautiously with small children in the car.

As long as we’re bullshitting. –Great post, by the way.
