Our so-called patriarchy abuses boys TO DEATH more often than girls published on

Man, are we living in the worst patriarchy EVER or what? I bumped into this graph while doing research for an upcoming cartoon. I was actually looking for stats on baby deaths by accident as at that age such incidents seem likely to be neglect rather than due to the kid climbing a tree, but what i found was even better. Or worse, depending on how you look at it.

Oh, and the cartoon is an updating of one i did eleven years ago and it is somewhat disheartening to see that literally nothing has changed — except for the worse (which also happens to be the title of the cartoon itself.)
