Female-named hurricanes are deadlier than male-named

[quote]results imply an “implicit"[/quote]Kek. But hat they're saying is that it's meteorologists' fault for bad naming failing to convey the severity of the storms eh? Interesting point. Hurricane "Zontar" or "Xyclon Craw X" would probs do the job.

1 返信They really need to start naming hurricanes more realistically. Hurricane "We're All Gonna -blam!-ing Die" would get people moving.

Do you know if there was any kind of control in the study, like something to normalize the results? For example, they could have used cost of damages as a baseline comparison, as it couldn't possibly be affected by gender bias on any considerable scale.
