Sometimes I'm ashamed to be a female

I like to believe that I am a good driver. I have been in maybe two little bumps which should not even qualify as accidents. However, given the fact that I have breasts as well as the other required equipment to be a female I have been given the stigma that I am a bad driver. I take offense to that; I know far more males that are far worse drivers than some of the female drivers I would consider bad. But then, there are always those times when I'm driving and minding my own business, singing loud and proud, when I see out of the corner of my eye a car driving so erratically that I stop singing and just stare. The person can't be drunk it's only 7:30 AM... well I mean they COULD be drunk, but that would be seriously wrong... So I try and pass the demon car to get a better look at the driver. And low and behold there is a young female, talking on the cellphone and playing with the radio. I admit, I am quite guilty of doing the same thing, but you don't see me swerving all over Rt. 128, do you?
I have to say though, the worst drivers I have seen have been women/girls (teenager types) that aren't doing anything except driving. And let me tell you, those are the scariest drivers I have ever shared the road with. Girls that don't know how to merge onto the highway but insist on getting into the left-most lane no matter how many cars they hit or knock aside in their path. Women that just look like they are in a whole world of their own because they have this silly smile plastered on their face... Women that are talking to their passengers while flailing their arms about and looking at the passengers instead of at the road. Not going to lie to you, it makes me ashamed to be a female sometimes...
