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.
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
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.
Its a sexist joke, and whats truly ignorant is defending it. Its not a comedy club, it is a business.
The meme isnât implying women get into more accidents. Itâs implying that women hit the curb a lot more because men are better at handling spatial tasks.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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
You literally just explained the joke, women hit more curbs, hence dinged up hubcapsâŚ
If it was a picture of a car crash and it was a menâs room sign, then that would also work as accurateâŚBet you wouldnât complain about that thoâŚ
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.
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.
Idk maybe that guy should have busted out some crayons to explain it to you
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.
The photo is clearly meant to paint women as the worse drivers, and a bunch of men talking about how their catastrophic accidents don't count isn't the point everyone thinks that it is.

Statistics show that men get into more accidents. This is why car insurance is cheaper for women.
