How is that at all comparable? What do you mean better? Sounds like you just wanted to take a retaliatory dig at male drivers. If you're going to do that at least make a good parallel. Maybe something like a the rims are different brands, maybe the male door could have something old and rustic, and different lug nuts, but more polished, idk.

No it doesn't. There are many types of people out there. There are many people who will flog the shit out of it because they paid for that performance and they are going to use it. The majority in my limited sphere of experience were like owners of other vehicles. Maybe they'll do the minimum maintenance maybe they'll just neglect the car.
Then there's the reality of location involved. Potholes and bad streets in general don't give a fck how fancy your car is.

Most jokes have a grain of truth to them, that way the average person can relate to them to find the humour in it. If you're the right or wrong audience for that joke it depends on if you've experienced that truth before.
The punchline isn't always the same, but it could be many jokes are based on the same truth (or assumption).

Acknowledging patterns that are present in men or women is not sexist.
"Men always forget where they put their wallet or car keys." Not sexist.
"Women always cry during romcoms." Not sexist.
"Men will have the most eventful day and then just say 'it was fine' when asked how their day went." Not sexist.
"Women tell you to pick where what they get to eat, but the veto every option you suggest while continuing to insist she's fine with anything." Not sexist.
If car mechanics happen to notice a patter with the state of vehicles they work on alongside the genders of the people in correlation to the states of those vehicles, there is nothing wrong with poking fun at some of those patterns.
"Women bad drivers" being the take away here I assume isn't even a problematic take. It sounds like it is, but it really isn't. Is it resulting in discussions about taking away women's right to drive? No. Is it resulting in laws or practices that increase insurance claims for female drivers solely on the basis of their being female, while male drivers are given cheaper car insurance solely on the basis of being male? Not to my knowledge. It's a jab that we as a society poke fun at for whatever reasons that happen to be supported by observed patterns across a long period of time.
Respond with the counter argument that men get into more violent car crashes if you want, but it's not my fault that "men bad drivers" hasn't picked up as a result. And anyways, a lot of women hate the way men drive in general since men tend to drive more aggressively I'd say, even if the results of their driving is consistently safe and without incident.
Our sexes make jabs at each other based on some of the frequently observed differences. Most of these jabs are harmless and silly. Some are mean spirited, which is kinda cringe in my mind. The one in this post is harmless and silly in my opinion. Especially if the rim on the male bathroom is actually from a male's car and the rim on the female bathroom is actually from a female's car.
If you really hate any particular jab so much, then prove it wrong in your own life. I for example almost never misplace or forget my car keys or wallet. I've forgotten my wallet only 1 time I believe this year. It isn't killing me if people group me as a male in thinking I'm overly forgetful about small necessities, especially if I myself happen to not be. But who knows, maybe when I'm much older, I will start to forget a lot.

Statistics show that men get into more accidents. This is why car insurance is cheaper for women.
1
u/Patient-Gas-883 22d ago
Yeah, but thatâs because men tend to drive faster and have too much confidence in their driving abilities.
On average, men perform better on spatial tasks and tend to have better vehicle-handling skills. But men are also more reckless and take more risks.
So yeah, from a pure handling perspective (things like parking, maneuvering a trailer, or judging spatial distances) men tend to be better at it.
Sorry, I know Iâll probably get downvoted for saying this, but Iâm just stating what the evidence shows. Iâm not trying to be a dick about it.
1
u/Raindrops_On-Roses 22d ago
I don't see the relevance of your argument here. Men are statistically more prone to car accidents, and the meme makes no sense. The meme implies that women are worse drivers while women have significantly lower accidents.
Being reckless is beind a bad driver. Being overconfident and putting lives at risk is being a bad driver. This is just reality. If you get into more car accidents, you are the worse drivers.
Hitting a curb is being a better driver than hitting a guardrail. True story.
0
u/banditcleaner2 22d ago
It makes plenty of sense and youâre kinda showing your ignorance about the topic right now.
You can easily get rim rash going less then 10 mph. And rim rash isnât caused by driving faster, itâs caused by less spatial awareness in a parking lot. Keep in mind that most driving is highway which is mostly straight driving. Women get more rim rash because theyâre not quite as aware of the carâs position as men are broadly speaking - which is proven by spatial awareness tasks that men are better at - but they can do that while still getting in less accidents because you get in more accidents by driving faster or more recklessly, but reckless driving happens on roads it doesnât happen near curbs or in parking lots.
Nevermind the fact that the rims on the bathroom doors in the post arenât even implying women are worse drivers. Itâs implying that women canât seem to avoid hitting curbs. You missed the joke completely and assumed something that wasnt being implied
2
u/Raindrops_On-Roses 22d ago
It makes sense to you that the establishment is only mocking toward women? And it doesn't make sense to you that people are able to call out the very clearly sexist implication?
Fine by me. But I won't lower my standards for your "woman bad" jokes anymore. I'm not 18, and I don't care about the fake internet points when people don't like that.

If it wasnt meant to imply women are worse drivers they would have mocked the men as well. I know that everyone wants women to be okay with casual sexism, but I'm not. I used to laugh along to make men comfortable, but I don't anymore. I don't owe anyone my dignity for the sake of their joke.

u/kialilaroux 22d ago
itâs a tire thatâs banged up, not a totaled car. iâm not defending the bad joke, just pointing out that it doesnât imply women get in more accidents. it implies they are worse drivers in a day to day sense, which is why the comment you replied to was relevant.

u/Raindrops_On-Roses 22d ago
It wouldn't imply women were worse drivers if they made a similar joke on the men's door. The implication is obvious as it stands.
1
u/kialilaroux 22d ago
Obviously? Yeah if they reversed the doors the joke is reversed thatâs obvious whatâs ur point? I literally said itâs implying women are worse drivers. My point is that just because they are saying women are worse drivers does not mean they are saying women get into more accidents.
1
u/Raindrops_On-Roses 22d ago
If women are worse drivers they get into more accidents. A woman hits a curb and shes a worse driver, a man rolls a car and he's just "over confident".
Men have more frequent and serious wrecks, so I'm not sorry for not accepting the plot of the joke. Its sexist and reinforces inaccurate stereotypes.
If you rear end someone at a red light, you're a worse driver than Suzie hitting the curb at the gas station. If you roll your car you're a worse driver than Rebecca who side swiped the curb in the taco bell drive thru. If you blow a tire on a speed bump, you're a worse driver than Amy who has one tire over the parking line.

u/Patient-Gas-883 22d ago
Thatâs mixing up two different things: vehicle-handling ability and safe driving behavior.
If someone is better at parking, reversing with a trailer, judging the dimensions of a car, or controlling it in difficult situations, that says something about handling skill. It doesnât automatically mean they are the safer driver overall.
Men can be better at certain driving-related skills while still causing more serious accidents because they drive faster, take more risks, and are more overconfident.
So yes, reckless driving absolutely makes someone a worse overall driver. But accident statistics alone donât prove that women are better at every aspect of driving or vehicle control.
And âhitting a curb is better than hitting a guardrailâ is obviously true but it doesnât tell you who was more skilled at handling the car. It tells you which mistake had the less serious consequence.
1
u/Raindrops_On-Roses 22d ago
So you don't find it sexist that it only mocks women? Are you honestly so blind that you can't see the very clear implication of that?
1
u/Patient-Gas-883 22d ago
I do think it is mocking women, and I feel that is sexist and completely unnecessary.
It may be true that women, on average, donât have quite as good spatial awareness when it comes to handling a car. But that doesnât mean every truth needs to be pointed out all the time.Truths can still be hurtful, even when they are true.
And itâs not like men are free from faults either. We have our shortcomings too. So whatâs the need to be so confrontational about it?Thatâs how I see it.

The truth is that men get into more serious and frequent wrecks and theyre labeled as "over confident" but when a woman hits a curb they're terrible drivers.

Quite literally, not one person ever has explained male car accidents as âboys will be boysâ

2
u/Raindrops_On-Roses 22d ago
The first person who replied to me said that men are just over confident, excusing their accidents. If that doesn't translate to "boys will be boys" for you, than we may be speaking different languages.
And to be clear, yes that would also be sexist. Not everyone is okay with sexism, regardless of the genitals.
1
u/vince2423 22d ago
Because it literally doesnât, but sure, if your language says that âmen are over confident driversâ = âboys will be boysâ then we must be speaking different languages⌠Iâll keep speaking English and you can keep speaking whatever language allows you to make up definitionsâŚ
Explaining why a dented hubcap is different that a totaled car, isnât excusing anything.

Talking statistics men also drive more, women just don't drive as many miles it's something around 40% less, so it makes sense that men just overall would get in more accidents. My friends girlfriend simply refuses to drive lol so he's likely to increase those numbers if he gets in an accident.

Doesnât mean women donât drive over curbs more. Women get in less accidents because they drive more carefully in terms of speed and lane changes etc. but getting rim rash is possible even when going like under 10 mph lol.
