Women Can't Drive

Now let me start off by saying that i know this is a bigotted and sexist statement .... but most stereotypes are grounded (albeit exaggerated at times) in some form of actuality.

And in the case of this stereotype there is most definitely a strong positive correlation between "people who can't drive" ....... and "women" lol

ok ok....... all jokes aside ...... let me rephrase my statement to be more politically correct and accurate ..... Instead of saying "Women Can't Drive" I'll say : "MOST women, can't drive" :D

Now don't get me wrong...... i am not even remotely going going to try and say that women are responsible for accidents, no not at all.......... in fact i'm pretty sure that we men cause most of them, but i'm not talking about accidents. Men generally cause accidents on the roadway because they are hasty and stupid..... but men's stupidity can be applied as the contributing factor to most things, not just specifically driving...its too general; i'm not talking about that. I'm talking about the actual ability to drive. For some reason it seems that most women do not have that "ability". They have not mastered the art of manuevering a rectangular object around a curve or even the great skill of navigating an object only using a visually reflecting optic surface.........

Lets not even begin to mention Cellular Communication or Make-up Putting-Oning

Ok let me back track a bit ....... the other day i saw this lady driving an ambulance... yeah ... a whole ambulance down into a very plane to see drain... In Port-of-Spain, in broad daylight. Now don't get me wrong..... I myself have driven my car into a ditch.... a big one at that...... but this simple act by one woman, reminded me of the countless number of times i've seen our fairer gender falter behind the wheel. And it made me wonder....... why is this so?

I mean i know men make stupid mistakes (myself included) when driving....... my neighbour (a guy) hits the tree along his driveway all the time (though he may have a drinking problem).... and i have a good few female friends who can handle themselves behind a wheel........ but at the end of the day, why are so many horrible drivers women? Are reversing and cornering really that hard ??

I think the problem is more of a social one that a genetic one per say, though (that's my opinion)
Little boys grow up playing with cars, riding bikes, playing video games, playing sports....... all activities that involve motion, observation, hand eye coordination and thought-processing all simultaneously. Maybe some of our little girls are being robbed of this opportunity to develop such skills by letting them focus on only "female" activities.

And i'm sure its the same thing vice versa. I'm sure boys, by only doing boy stuff, are being robbed of the opportuntity to learn "whatever it is that women do well"
:) (kiddddinnng)

Well anyway.......... that's the morale of my story: "Women Can't Drive Because they can't Play Sports "

ha ha ha ha ha ha

P.S. ........... those white lines on the black surfaces at malls and other places of communal purchasing or services ....... the car is supposed to fit between those lines and as parallel to them as possible .
OOOORRRRRRR !!!!

You may proceed to hate me now :)
