Stereotyping : "Women Shouldn't Behind The Wheel"

2. 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 behind the wheel…

     In my opinion, I don’t agree with the statement “women shouldn’t behind the wheel”. It is because women nowadays can think wisely about the safeness while driving a car especially mother that take along with their children. Men should not underestimate women capabilities when they are driving. They think that women who are driving a car can cause an accident, driving with emotion and sometimes they think women are selfish while driving. This issue happen because of stereotyping which is they judge people based on their own opinions and assumption. Men always think that they can drive better than women. However according to Kendel (2012) stated that   “in 2007, statistics reveal men were involved in 6.1 million car accidents while women were involved in 4.4 million”. From the statement it can be proven that women are not the main reasons who are can cause an accident but it is vice versa. Men sometimes drive with emotions. They cannot see other people who are faster than them and they started to race which is may lead danger for other road user. 

     Societies should support every women behind the wheel. Currently, we can see women have made driving as their carrier. For example, in our country itself, we can see women drive a taxi and buses. It is good to have a female driver because sometimes citizen especially women doesn’t feel comfortable to ride male driver. Certain of male driver like to take advantage towards women passenger. For example, they tend tease their women passenger by using indecent words, touch them and more. It is somewhat dangerous for women and it better to have female driver in our societies. I think we should salute to all female driver give all support to them. Lastly, men and women can be equal as long they do their best to drive safely.
