I would not be surprised if other activities were missing also. Why do we have to assume that everything missing is gender specific?

On the other hand it would be a big surprise for me if the people that designed the Fitbit's period tracking feature did not include or at least consulted women.

Something else that surprised me is the bit about crash test dummies. I found it difficult to believe that no female dummies existed. A quick search showed that in fact dummies modelling females exist since the 70s. However it seems they were derived from the male dummies. It seems it really took many more years to design a female dummy from the ground up (although I found articles from at least 2006 about it).
