And also taking into account that women can get pregnant, right?
Right?

Without looking up the details, I’m just gonna assume both facts are correct (no anatomically correct women dummies before 2023 and a pregnant dummy in 1996), by saying that the 1996 dummy was a pregnant man. Only two years after Arnold Schwarzenegger started in Junior.

Height is a big factor too

Height is a big factor. Being taller than average I notice a lot of backbreaking standards. Especially if I have to use facilities modified for shorter or wheelchair bound people. Look at airplane seats for example. Why do I have to pay more for a seat that won’t crush my knees? And decorations; quite often I will go to a place festively decorated where things are constantly bumping me or in my face. There was even a fancy balloon arch used at one place I had to move out of a doorway to get through.

I mean, it sucks, but the larger seats do cost the airline more to provide. I pay more for shipping inanimate objects that are long, even if they’re the same weight.

We aren’t long inanimate objects, we’re human beings and we deserve to be treated better than a can of sardines.

Then why don’t we also pay be weight? I’d love to be able to pack an extra 20kg in my bag as I weigh at least 20kg less than the average male.
