From time to time, while I am on the car with my dad, we'd see some other driver doing stupid things, like stepping on the brakes when there is no need to, or not moving off when it's ok to do so. Inevitably, my dad will say "Ah, that must be a woman driver".
And when we drive past, I'd then realise that it's a male driver. And I'd remark, "Hey dad, don't forget that your daugher is a female driver too! And who knows, there could be some other guy out there cursing her when she's driving too! So don't pass such remarks!"
That is such a classic example of gender stereotyping. When people meet bad drivers, they automatically assume that it's a woman behind the wheels. It seems that women are always the bad drivers and the men, the good drivers???
