It´s a cliche that men and women view the world from wildly divergent
angles, but there´s a lot of science to back it up. Studies have
documented sex differences in perceptions of almost everything you can
name, from risk to motion, crowd size, quality of life, physical
attractiveness, and pain.

So it won´t shock anyone that perceptions of the amputee experience
diverge along gender lines. At least, that´s what the results of the 2022
Amputee Community Survey show. The differences are far from
irreconcilable-there are vastly more areas of agreement than
disagreement-but a few disparities did catch our eye. We´ve detailed
those below. (If you´re more interested in where the sexes are not in
battle, scroll down to the bottom.)
