What Katie said about woman drivers
Oh, dear, Katie Price, aka Jordan, you’re not doing much for the sisterhood, are you?Fine, have a pink horsebox, if that’s what you want. It may be overly-girlie, reductive and a bit, well, crass, but I admit that I can see the appeal and even you admitted that it was “a bit over the top”. In fact, I’m disposed to the odd “pink moment” myself – there’s nothing wrong with it.
But please Katie, don’t veer from your driving lane into another then claim that it just happened because you’re a “typical woman driver”.
We busted this myth many years ago. There is now even a very strong case for us being better drivers than men – it‘s why we’re able to get very cheap car insurance and men are not.
On being prosecuted for errant driving, Katie told a court, “I'm a typical woman driver. I'm just not used to a lorry that big. I was probably a bit scared because it was on a motorway.”
Please, Katie. Nooooooooooo!!!!
Comments like this are so unhelpful and only reinforce patronizing male attitudes towards good woman drivers. It’s the kind of comment that makes men want to teach us how to parallel park when we’re perfectly capable of doing it ourselves.
