      Not sure where the above data is from but according to the below NIH study it’s about a 80% male, 20% female split. Which isn’t precisely what you were looking for but can probably give you a solid basis for inference.

      Also sort of interesting is that female patients were almost twice as likely to have a previously diagnosed psychiatric disease (23% of male patients and 49% of female patients). On the other hand, males were significantly more likely to have sustained a fracture (48% of the male patient and 11% of the female patients). For sure some stark contrast between the two but I don’t find that particularly surprising.

      What is surprising to me is that both males and female patients with previous visits for punching related injuries was about the same (23% of males and 29% of females). Would be nice to know the overlap of people with multiple punching related injuries that also have a psychiatric diagnosis, because I imagine they overlap quite heavily.

    Don’t worry y’all, I’m an expert at interpreting chart data. What this tells us is that although you lose your childhood resilience over time, your wall-punching resilience increases from your teenage years through the rest of your life. By 70, you’re guaranteed to be indestructible when it comes to wall punching.

    After 64, most people are too weak to punch walls.

    Except Angry Jimmy and his walker.

    Just build harder non-cardboard/non-drywall walls, pump those numbers up, teach wall-punchers how real wall-punchers punch walls.

      My therapist once told me that there are specific times in people’s life when a lot of them go somewhat “crazy” and these times differ between men and women.

      • ~14-18 years - men go into puberty and their testosterone increases which leads to them doing stupid shit
      • ~25-30 years - women get a quarter life crisis and make radical changes
      • ~40-45 years - women are more confident and know better what they want and make drastic changes
      • ~50-55 years - men get what people call a midlife crisis and again start doing stupid shit

      Let’s get this comment to 69, in honor of the one 69 year old still punching inanimate objects

      Edit: who’s the fucker that upvoted it to 70? …
