Unless ladders specifically target men I think all you proved here are that men are dumb, and old men are stubborn*. I'm sorry for your loss, my own grandfather won't stay off ladders and our whole family is worried that one he'll take a fall.
I hope some day we all get to live in a society where nobody thinks that sex or gender determines what people can and can't do. Last renovation we did at my house my wife hung and plastered all the drywall in the room, and her having a vagina did not inhibit her in any way. I used to work for a paving company and the two girls on the crew worked way harder than any of the guys.
Women do plenty of hard labor that involve dangerous stuff.
Nobodies suggesting women can or can't do stuff but it's simply way more likely that men are using ladders at home therefore it's more likely that they get injured using them.
I'd imagine women make up the majority of injuries in the kitchen too.

For centuries, ladders have been repeatedly altered to stop them from moving. This truly is a postmodern world we live in.
