Notable quotes....

"[...]whereas the most common cause of concussions in male athletes was contact with another player, in female athletes the most common mechanism was contact with an object, such as a ball"
“Female soccer athletes have lower neck strength and girth compared with male athletes, with these variables inversely associated with linear and rotational head acceleration after soccer ball heading"

My daughter plays football. They’re not allowed to head the ball at all in training, and as a result it rarely happens in a game. I thought that was FA policy tbh.
