Most women I know wear at least one ring, often more. Their fingers haven't fallen off and don't look to be blood-starved.

That's a strawman. I didn't claim that it makes finger fall off.

So what is it exactly that you are claiming?

Likely smaller range of effective movement. Woman wears a lot of rings just as they wear high heels that are also not ergonomic.

Seeking around I find studies that show that rings are very unhygenic for hospital stuff but not much investigation beyond that.

Umm... no.

Just like with the "blood flow", I think you're imagining things.

Rings are certainly inconvenient when you're doing some things with your hands, but it's not because they restrict the range of finger movement.

I just have this urge to say this, and I think I'll go ahead: that's what she said
