Men are giving up on manual gearboxes quicker than women
The website, which acts as a broker for people trading leases, looked at data from 2012 to 2015, and the results were clear. The company found 3,102 leased manual vehicles in 2012 and 2,417 in 2015 – a drop of 22 percent. Men, though, are especially less likely to choose a model with a clutch. In 2012, 85.4 percent of manual drivers were males and 14.6 percent were females. By 2015, the figure for men dropped to 81.2 percent. Because the total number shrank over the years and males left them more quickly, the proportion of women who wanted to select their own gear actually increased to 18.8 percent for 2015.

It's Just Good Business
Why pharmaceutical prices in the USA is a thousand times more than the same drug sold in a developong country?
About 200 years ago, commercial developers were facing a problem. It cost money to invent something new, but once you invented it it was really cheap for a craftsman to take it apart and build it themselves. Governments feared that new technology development would cease altogether. Their solution was to grant a short-term monopoly on any new invention, allowing inventors to reap all of the benefits of their investments to make it profitable to improve them.
Once you have a monopoly, you gain access to a bunch of tools to make money. Instead of charging about what it costs to make something, you charge whatever price will get you the most profit by figuring out how many people will buy at each price, multiplying that number by the profit per unit at that price, then picking the most profitable price.
The American market is most profitable at the price they set in America. In Bangladesh, though, the most profitable price is lower. So they set different prices in different areas, arguing that otherwise their most profitable move would be to charge American prices everywhere, denying developing nations access at all. As that would be a thing that would actually happen, governments agreed, granting discount drugs to developing nations while improving the profit of drug companies over all.
So, basically, the companies charge the ‘real’ price in developed nations that they need to to make their research budgets work, then charge a production-cost price in developing nations that wouldn’t be able to access the drug otherwise. Everyone wins – you get new drugs being developed all the time (which you pay for), and Bangladesh gets the drugs that they can barely afford to produce.
