Why should boys have all the fun

Traffic jams, crazy bike riders, indiscipline - all contribute to the bad exprience one would have while travelling. Least talked about yet highly significant is the way women drive automobiles. Here are the few things that they do.

Spreading legs
Topping the list would be their air bus like landing. Just like the aeroplanes bring down their wheels just before landing , women spread their legs just before they slow down or come to a halt. Unlike men, they don't do it in the last minute, but when the motorcycle reaches 20-30 km/hr. While this may provide a great sight for poets who love women, same cannot be said about gap hungry co-riders. No wonder they were the inspiration behind the bikers in road rash game who kick their opponents out of the race.

Indicator
This habit is not that bad but just that they don't fit in the street. Women put their indicator at the most inappropriate time. They do this while changing lanes when there is no body close in the entire road. They do this one turn before leaving the co-riders thinking why in the heaven she didn't turn.

Horn
Many a times, women prefer riding in the centre of the road blocking the way for heavy vehicles like bus. When bus or lorry drivers horn out of frustration, women have no clue how to respond. In the ensuing confusion, they don't alter their line of ride and status quo is maintained.

Shaking handlebars
This is a customary ritual performed at low speeds i.e when they start, stop, negotiate between the gaps.

Applying brakes
Declared the physically weaker sex, it is surprising that women prefer their legs to stop the motorcycles rather than their brakes. This coupled with shaking handlebars provides men a tricky situation where they are targeted for bumping into women's vehicle.

As a self made neo feminist, i shouldn't be concluding this post as -Women drive bad-. Then how do i explain all the above stated short comings. "I am a legend" movie comes to the rescue. Taking cue from it's theme, this is my reasoning.
These are not bad at all. It is just men are the majority in the streets. They define what is right and what is wrong. May be shaking handlebars is supposed to be cool as wheeling. May be spreading legs is a style to follow rather than danger to be avoided.
After all, Why should boys have all the fun!
