It doesn't matter if there is evidence or not, if statistically, women are treated less the issue is real and there needs to be a social/public push to make it appropriate.

There needs to be a law similar to good Samaritan that allows for men to touch women during CPR without fear of reprisal.

Those laws exist in almost every state, where Good Samaritan laws specify that consent to CPR is implied if a victim is unresponsive. Consent is implied for children who are unresponsive if their parent is not present. https://americancpr.com/blog/tag/good-samaritan-act-good-sam...

States should add those laws where they are absent and clarify them where they are vague.

Thanks for this!
