Are men or women more prone to getting struck by lighting?
Men are more prone to getting struck by lighting.
It has nothing to do with DNA or anatomy. Men take more risks in lightning storms are less willing to give up what they’re doing just because of a little inclement weather. Men will continue to engage in pastimes that make them vulnerable, such as fishing, camping and golfing. Fishing was the number one reason for death due to lighting. Men take extra time to get to safety.

What kind of lighting? Direct? Indirect? Incandescent? Flourescent? There are many different kinds of lighting. Maybe you meant to use lightning instead of lighting?????

Men ALSO tend to work more outside in more dangerous places than women were they would be more likely to get a lightning strike. Perhaps we should be getting activists advocating for 50/50 representation in ALL work and not just the more comfortable safe ones like in boardrooms
