You're on an on-ramp. Behind someone. There's a huge break in traffic and the person in front of you starts - then stops suddenly for no reason.

You're driving behind someone who starts to turn left, then turns the wheel and turns right, never putting a turn signal on.

You're behind someone at a traffic light - the light turns green but the person isn't paying attention - is fumbling with stuff in the front seat, applying makeup, talking on the cellphone or some combination.

90% of the time, in each of these circumstances, it's a woman.

Why is it sexist to admit that?

Do you have any statistics that support the claim that 90% of the time the driver in these situations is a woman? Sometimes, when a belief is held only events that support that belief are noted and remembered as significant. When this happens the belief can be reinforced and seem as if it is factual.

Since the claim isn't necessarily substantiated, it would be considered sexist by most.
