All Bad Drivers are Women!

WARNING: This Might Come Off As A Feminist Rant...I don't care.

So, I was being driven around by a lady; it was me in the back seat, a guy riding beside me, a guy riding short gun and the female driver. We were looking out the window, trying to find the way into a mall and figured we had to drive around an intersection to get to the entrance. As we made that move, we noticed another that was driving between lanes and moving at an awkward speed that indicated the driver was probably distracted by a phone or something. The lady driving my ride said "What is this woman doing? Why is she driving like that?" The man said "Women always mess around on the roads." I said, "Are you sure it's a woman? I hope she doesn't have a baby on board"

We caught up with the  car in a few minutes and drove past to make our right turn. I looked over and saw it was a man...a middle age looking man. 

Now I could have let it go and let the ride continue in silence but you know how it is when something you feel strongly about just comes and sets up in front of you. I mean, I really was minding my own business but this lady and this guy had to make statements that  I consider chauvinistic. For a long time I have found it distastasteful how bad driving is almost always related to women, when the sex of the driver is unknown. Like seriously? 

The Brain-Eye-Hand-Leg coordination that driving requires has NOTHING to do with sex. It's one thing if there is a very busty female who's blossom grips the steering wheel along with her hands or something ridiculous like that. It is even more annoying when a woman is the one who sets off the chauvinistic ball and says something as distasteful as that.

The skill of driving is not meant for everyone. I know several guys who do not know how to drive. As a matter of fact, I am very good friends with a 33 year old man who can afford several cars but does not own one because he is nit able to drive and is to afraid to learn. Some of the most calculated and coordinated drivers I know are women. If you are unfortunate enough not to know a good number of fabulous female f=drivers, well, sorry, expand your social circle and meet more interesting people (notice how I said 'people' and not 'women'? yeah. that's what people who have released themselves from the shackles of patriarchal thought patterns say).

Next time you see a lousy driver in front of you, cuss at them (even though they can't hear you) if that's what rocks your boat and enter a long conversation about how there are bad drivers in this world...but by all means, do not say or think anything that remotely resembles equating bad driving to being female (especially if I am in the car with you).

Some people can't drive...not men, not women; PEOPLE.
