We’re also just now (November 2025) starting to use crash test dummies shaped like women:

Vehicle safety tests in the U.S. use crash test dummies based on a male body. Advocates say it’s no coincidence that women are more likely to suffer injuries in car crashes than men, even if you control for the severity of the crash and the size of the vehicle.

Calls for an accurate female crash test dummy date back decades. Consumer Reports has traced them back to 1980.

In the early 2000s, regulators added a small “female” dummy to tests — but it was just a scaled-down version of the male dummy, with breasts attached. That doesn’t reflect the real anatomical differences between male and female bodies.

I remember my current partner being really shocked that only male crash test dummies are being used.

This is the kind of thing that comes to my mind when people try to claim that women have achieved equality here in the US.
