yes, I know.
it is sexist to say anything about gender about anything .
I think that's kinda sad ..
One can only say 'the driver was so clumsy they could not get the van in
gear' ..
and it's 'wrong' to say if they were a man or a woman.
as it turns out the last person I saw that was such a total klutz that
they couldn't put their own van in reverse ( when I could easily ) was
of the male persuasion .
Don't get me started, plus it's not Friday anyway.
The US Navy identified that female figther pilots were better at things
'in close' to them ..like cockpit stuff, but they were not as good as
male fighter pilots at 'killer instinct with a target a hundred miles out.'
that is just biology and fact.
Have you ever noticed that other than in drag racing there has never
been a really outstanding totally-dominant female car racing driver ?
or we so totally Politically Correct that we are not allowed to even
notice that or talk about it ?
Same for ethnicity and cultural background in sports ..
take ski racing ...I could name a group of people that has never done
well in ski racing ..
but that's uncool so I won't.
People are just different and have broad ranging skills. It's silly if
we are not allowed to observe that some types and genders of people do
better at some things than others.
and yes...
male driver's call up car shops before opening their hood and looking
for the most basic things too.
Although ..
I know this is very, very uncool ...female thinking, broadly speaking'
...may tend toward' I have a problem in a mechanica system ..who do I
call' ...emphasis on 'who' .
Broadly speaking ...male thinking ..at least is WAS ..is more in the
vein of 'what do I do?'.
last line ...gender nazi's will HATE this..
women drivers FEEL BETTER closer to other cars and tend to drive more
closely to other cars ..it's a bonding 'I'm a good person' thing' ..
smart male driver's tend to 'drive their own race' if they are smart..
keep an eye on the ENTIRE situation, including way, way out in front ,
and all around ..
smart ones anyway.
These days most drivers' regardless of gender think that if there is a
car anywhere in front of you ..
you are suppossed to get close to it, follow closely and don't think
about anything else.
if you don't believe me ..next time someon is right on your tail...slow
down and watch how long it takes them to even consider going around
..they don't ..they are just programmed blind sheep ..'there is a car in
front of me..I follow it."
very dangerous and stupid. Drive AWAY from ALL CARS as much as possible
at all times , except for stop and go traffic .
now with self-driving cars ..people will be badly dummed-down and have
relatively no real driving skills, most sadly.
Regardless of gender.
