This is actually a stupid question especially if you involve statistics. Plus why is this a bigger worry than possibly saving a life

Do you think that men would avoid doing CPR on a woman because of fear of sexual assault?

Because there are stories of that exact thing happening to guys where the woman won and we don’t want our reputation to go down the drain because we decided to save a life.

There are statistics stating that CPR is in fact less likely to be performed on women and even less likely to be performed correctly. There’s an inherent bias against women in CPR because most dummies that people trained on CPR use are male, making bystanders more likely to feel unprepared to help a woman

Because men literally have to think about it. “ do I risk the danger of getting called an abuser/ sex predator to save this woman?”

Again statistically the likelihood of a man to be accused of sexual assault over performing CPR is extremely low. In fact studies show that men are more likely to be the bystanders in this situation regardless but its not for the reasons of not knowing when or how to do CPR. I honestly never suggest regular people without some training or certification to perform it.

It’s not a stupid question and most innocent bystanders don’t have the thorough training and experience medical professionals do when it comes to emergency situations like that. People panic and think irrationally in urgent situations

it does because it’s a common misconception among male CPR-certified bystanders that it can count as SA 😐 this is studied

you realize that they may be worried about making the person they try saving feel taken advantage of? and you’re being extremely harsh to a population in a stressful situation and acting like they should act perfectly when they weren’t trained FOR WOMEN. that’s why they use female manikins in modern CPR training. it was an educational issue, not a moral one…
