Should women be allowed to drive

[brinny]

neither is it a gender, so how could I be sexist

My point, sir, is that it's a common misnomer that Islam is a "race".

Wouldn't you agree?

I'd pretty much insist on a future wife of mine being able to drive. A wife who can't drive can't pick up sizable amounts of groceries, ferry the kids to or from school or the doctor's office or their friend's house, or run other errands. Nor would I be able to split the driving with her on a long road trip, the US is a big country. Furthermore, I'd also want her to be able to read a map and navigate for such trips. Generally, I believe a more capable wife can be a better one, and being less capable doesn't make her more trustworthy. More capability only really becomes a problem if she's not trustworthy, and if she's not trustworthy, why would I marry her.

Cant argue with that, best of luck to your future wife

cbs news is your statistics , well its better to pay for insurance what do you mean thats actually a smart thing to do

Paying for insurance isn't an option. It's a requirement if you own a car, and all else being equal, the insurance companies do charge men more than women. They would do this based on actuarial analysis, which means that yes, the statistics do paint men as being higher risks than women. That is how the insurance industry works, for better or for worse.

Insurance companies don't care about your income. They care about how likely you are to get into trouble and need them to actually pay out. So their prices are based on risk analysis, not income.

You can trust an insurance company to be unbiased with their statistics, because all they care about is profit. How Gender Affects Auto Insurance Rates | DMV.ORG

I cannot believe this post is being taken seriously! This has got to be a joke, surely??? For your information, you cannot, in a civilised society, control what women do.

They are not yours to control.

As you appear to have the mentality of a log, I will explain: women are made in the image of God. However, as we all live in a fallen world where Satan rules to a certain degree, the relationship between women and men and the world has been distorted, with the result being that instead of us reflecting God's image, society now tends to reflect the enemy's will, which is to corrupt and degrade humanity to the point of destruction and extinction because he hates God so much.

This is why men and women have such hostile relationships. But it is not supposed to be like this.
Men are supposed to love women and vice versa. Unfortunately, because of men's evil and corrupt desires, they have habitually oppressed and abused the gift of women for centuries, thereby helping the Enemy in his quest for final destruction of the human race. This has caused massive hatred between the sexes and endless social, criminal and individual problems throughout the world. For centuries women have been oppressed socially, professionally and in the home simply for being of the female sex.

Happily, in our civilised Western world, most of this former social oppression has been revealed for what it is - discrimination. To discriminate is to treat somebody differently because of their gender.

Thankfully, most men and women these days have been enlightened and no longer hold the kind of attitudes you exhibit, which are backward and highly offensive and discriminatory.

I don't understand why these barbaric and misogynist attitudes are being tolerated on here as if it is some kind of reasonable question. Ridiculous. Your question has no validity in a civilised society and certainly should not have any validity on an apparently civilised Christian forum.

Stop trying to normalise hatred of women.

thats only one of the reasons and from what im reading they also check their driving history and thats what they put into account so that is just a miniscule detail maybe a majority of their buyers have men casuing more accidents but that is a fair point

There's no reason that women shouldn't be able to do the same things that men of similar mental competency can do.

Well it really does have validity because I am asking what are the opinions of christian countries. I guess we are both living in 2 different cultures because in the country I am residing in women were not allowed to drive until a year ago so for me this isnt "barbaric and etc" this is just me asking a question and wanting opinions, and we are a very civilised society and saudi arabias closest european ally is england, your society. Not so loggish now am I

then why are they still getting paid less in your country

Why is this thread in ethics and morality? Women and men are equal in intellect and physical skills. By the way my daughter is a ship captain.

My view is this: asking the question is not barbaric.

But I did not notice much resentment over the fact that you asked your question.

It was about the circumstances, the policy, the driving, and by whom that was considered by some respondents to be indefensible.

Yes and I just gave you an opinion.

And I'll give you that - not too loggish, more tree stumpish.

do you mind explaining that last sentence to me

That is a societal evil that is slowly being eliminated.

 

[Chesterton]

In my country women are allowed to drive, I am a very devout halal/kosher sunni muslim but quite honestly we have less accidents with where im living in saudi arabia when women could not drive and there are a lot of accidents in america with a higher percentage of them being women. So why let them drive the men are the ones in cahrge of the family and are statistically less prone to accidents. I was wondering what you westerners opinions are. Also we dont have asians driving .

Allahu Akbar/god is great

Are you in Saudi Arabia or Iran?

Yeah, women should be allowed to drive. How else would us men get safely back home from the bar if our wives couldn't pick us up and drive us home??

In truth...women are human beings just like the men are. As human beings, they should be allowed to do whatever men do.
