Women drivers

[TLHKAJ]

^ Brilliant. A flaw in feminists focus on outcomes is that given the same opportunity, women make different choices - and there's nothing wrong with that.

Women should make choices to maximize happiness, not to fulfill feminist utopia of equality. And they are, which explains why many women reject feminism while believing (rightly) that men and women are equal (in the eyes of God, the law, etc).

Thankfully, I'm not a feminist. lol
I don't need, nor demand an opportunity to enter motorsports. I have no interest in it. And my driving skills do not depend on me competing in a sport that is more geared to men's interests.

I reject @TLHKAJ's claim that being cautious is a skill. Prudence is a virtue not a skill. A major divide between men and women is managing risk.

You haven't actually made the effort to drive responsibly, and stewarding the financial resources God has given you, apparently. It absolutely does take skill. Can you come to a stop at a light or a stop sign without a jolt or waking a baby? That's a skill. It also saves wear and tear on a vehicle. That's just one example.

If you haven't actually done the work to drive in such a way that saves money, and time, and wear and tear on a vehicle, then you cannot truthfully say whether it takes skill. I've memorized every slight incline, hill, mountain, how the car takes each curve and calculated and recorded in my head what speed I should take each one to get the best fuel economy. Yes, it is skill. It's not driving a car at crazy speeds and taking curves and spinning into a wall. lol THAT is STUPIDITY ....not skill.

It’s not dependence but means to measure skill.

Last summer a young 18-yo woman drifted in my lane, barely scrapping my car. I told the investigating police officer that had she not pulled over, I wouldn’t know the make of the vehicle that hit me. I was in the left lane and her bump caused me to head toward the Jersey barriers. The secondary and tertiary accidents at highway speed at rush hour would have been much worse.

Perhaps a more skilled driver would have avoided the Jersey barriers, as I did, WHILE also looking to see the vehicle that caused the collision?

You

I was hopeful that you’d focus on this part of the post, where we agree, which is not too common.

Having said all that, I agree with @TLHKAJ's that the standard of accident breakdown by sex is a perfectly legitimate standard to measure what sex is the better driver.

Ego and entitlement .... that's what memes with no statistical backing, making jabs at women prove. lol

Your the one with no statistical backing.
I've backed myself with firm motorsports stat's. And I provided a breakdown provided by Google on road accidents.

You've provided nothing but personal experiences and emotional responses.


Statistics
Female F1 champions = 0
Female F3 champions = 0
Female rally champions = 0
Female GT3 champions = 0
Female indycar champions = 0
Female nascar champions = 0
Female drag racing champions = 0
Female supercar champions = 0
Female LMP1 champions = 0
Female any motorsports champions = 0

Statistic. Men dominate motorsports.
It is the highest test of driving skill.
Therefore men are obviously more skilled at driving.

What stat's have you got to show that women are more skilled at driving?
You've shown none

Yeah, but she gets more miles per gallon than we do. Explain that.

Sorry sister. This is projection. It!s your ego, entitlement and jabs at men on display here.

I‘ve said by one measure, fatal accidents, women are better drivers, where we agree. By other measures men are better drivers, which is what @Armour of God pointed out. That’s fair and balanced. Sadly, you can‘t acknowledge men are better in some ways - even though the evidence is overwhelming.

Regarding non-sport metric of driving skill, I have yet to see @TLHKAJ acknowledge women get into more frequent accidents that are minor.
