Women Drivers

One of the most profound stereotypes I have found present in today's society, is the idea that Women are bad drivers. Its present in everyday life driving down the street, with the ever present fear that an accident will happen. The cause: a Woman. I believe this stereotype formed from just the simple evolution of women's rights and the automobile. Back in the day when cars were first invented, women were still viewed to be "lesser" then their male counterparts, so only men drove cars. Along with that, only rich white males typically could buy cars, and there is no way a rich white man would lend his car to a "lesser" being. It just kept getting worse as history went on, as all men were aloud to drive, while it was rare to see a woman behind the wheel. In today's world, statistics back up this stereotype. In my life, when i'm in the passenger seat of a car operated by a woman, the first thing in my mind is seat belt, while with a guy driving, I usually think music, food, etc... Being a guy, and having the expectation of good driving, I hate to say, but I look down upon drivers of lesser capability, which for the most part are women. You can call that sexism, but then all men are sexist.

Being a guy completely defines my character and mind. Golfers in the US are predominantly male, along with drummers. Being stronger is obviously a quality of men that is never overlooked, but guys also take on the slacker or stoner status much easier than women.

Gender in my eyes does not change anything. Women are capable of everything men can accomplish, or even exceed. Women are definitively morally stronger then men to me, as they did drudge on through the male dominated society since the beginning or time, and as of now have begun to take the lead.

The stereotype that women are bad drivers may be true, it may not, but all I know is that gender typically is not a deciding factor in anything the human mind can envision. Stereotypes are just evolved opinions created way back when sexism was blatantly present in the world. All I know is that opinions are meant to be proven wrong, which women at this point are starting to do. I do still believe that men are better drivers than women, but that could change very quickly with the evolution of women in the past.
