2) Stereotyping- Why Women Shouldn't be Behind the Wheel ?

Assalammualaikum  wbt

Stereotyping is exaggerated generalizations associated with a categorizing system, they go beyond the facts at hand and make claims that usually have no valid basis. However, it is also something that most people find difficult to avoid from doing. So, let's explore your sense of tendency to make generalizations by expanding the following statement:

Women shouldn't be behind the wheel...

Those statement were given to me for this post of another entry for this assignment. Well, when we look back to those words- driving and women- we already know what that's mean. Women the kind of drivers that most of the people didn't like it because how careless they can be on the road.
Well, let get me this straight, I'm a girl soon become a woman and I'm not being discriminating or anything but this is just another my point of view why women shouldn't be behind the wheel.

So, women shouldn't be behind the we wheel because we all know how women get so distracted on the road while driving. Of course,this is not something that are rare or unusual to us all of us. It's a perception of others toward women. According to Reader's Digest, perception is a powerful thing. Despite the research, psychologist claim that it's difficult to determine whether men are truly innately better drivers than women or if they're simply more confident in their driving because they're perceived to be better and thus show more proficiency. Similarly, the stereotype that women are weaker drivers may negatively affect their performance behind the wheel. Sometimes they just distracting by something else. This isn't new. This issue has become one of the main issue of when it comes to women driving. Not to mention, if they driving fast, it so fast even Michael Schumacher could lose. if they driving slow, it's too slow even tortoise is better than them.

Women can be so careless creature on the earth when it comes to driving. How careless can women be? According to Andri Antoniades's who shared the Subaru Emirates Facebook status, a Jordanian woman parked her car which was Subaru SZR in the middle of the road because of the tyre was punctured. The driver's didn't want to her car off road. 4 person died in the car including 9-months-old baby boy. That is one careless mistake that could kill, honestly.

Of course being a women is not easy. It's even get harder when career women have their own family. They have to deal with their husband and kids. Plus, working from Monday to Friday. From as early as 8 am to as late as 6 pm. They have to divide that time for family and work. They tend to get tired. One of the reason of car accidents is because of tired moms. A recent study from Surrey University found that a regular lack of sleep alters the function of 711 humans genes that affect "metabolism, inflammation, immunity and stress, leading to heart disease, strokes and obesity". So, it would seem that if loosing sleep is the cost is the cost of having both a career and a family, it's not really worth it. Meanwhile, catching more Zzz's is a luxury many of us can't afford. At this point, the definition of "hang it all" might be shifting to mean 'a full eight hours of sleep each nigh", but as a goal it seems just elusive as ever (Morrissey, 2013).

Still, there's a lot more reason to talk about when it comes to driving and women. I just highlighted the main and the usual reason of why women shouldn't be behind the wheel. Of course majority of women are clumsy and careless on the road but don't forget the women that can drive a taxis and buses. Some of them really prove somehow women can be as better as men when it comes to driving which I also believe that people shouldn't judge women when they try to learn to driving better. As matter of fact, we should encourage them to be a better driver.
