Research says bicyclists should run red lights?

Dr. Anne Lusk made an interesting comment on red lights: (quote is here):

Female bicyclists in England are being killed at a higher rate than
males because females wait for the green light to proceed and then are
hit by turning trucks,” said Anne Lusk, a Research Fellow at the
Harvard School of Public Health and active supporter of the BCU. She
suggests that the majority of car drivers and bicyclists are
conscientious and that warnings, instead of tickets, would improve
safety, increase bicycling, and foster good will.

Lusk is neglecting issues with bicyclist behavior that lead to such a result. Consider the probable mechanism:

Scofflaw male cyclist runs red light, and usually gets ahead of first-in-line turning motor vehicle before it turns.

Law-abiding female cyclist waits to the left (in England) of that vehicle and gets left-hooked when the light changes.

So, Lusk is making an argument for — what? Running red lights? — based on different kinds of poor behavior by males and females, exacerbated by traffic lights that cause delay when there is no cross traffic.

Those of us who understand the risks neither run red lights nor position ourselves where we are endangered by turning traffic. My advice is to merge far enough from the edge of the road to forestall a hook turn, and if filtering forward, to wait behind the first vehicle, where the driver of the second one can see me and yield to me.

And that in spite of a healthy a level of testosterone!
