I saw this woman cutting in front of a diesel as she was trying to merge into traffic. There plenty of space behind the diesel. But for some reason she wanted to move in front of it. Then she got mad because her lane had ended and she was still trying to get ahead of the diesel. The diesel slowed down and then she had the nerve to flip him off.
Didn't she realize that diesel's can't physically stop on a dime? That one bump of the truck and her little bitty foreign car goes flying into the next lanes.
And then it occured to me that maybe because she's a woman...not because of her gender specifically, but because of her size. Bigger men are expected to defer to the woman, give her a seat, open the her car door, hold the office door open...
Does this everyday expectation warp their sense of proportion? Sure the diesel is huge, but its 'supposed' to let her in because she's a woman...is that her expectation?
Do woman just expect this treatment from men period and not realize it

Actually, I think most women do expect this from men, however I wouldn't call it "special treatment"..If you're a gentleman, giving women "special treatment" is an everyday thing for you. It's like common courtesy I guess you could say. But some women don't expect it. I'd just like to add that I hope the actions of this one particular woman hasn't caused you to change your perspective of ALL women..especially when she might have just been having some serious road rage (which is what it sounds like). =)

Women shouldn't expect special treatment from men unless they're on a date or married or something other than driving.
Laws of physics should help dictate who has the right of way. If that big 18-wheeler can roll over the little car and not feel it, then the 18-wheeler has the right of way.
