Welcome to the all you can eat, smorgasbord, of character assassinations of men, in general.

Well this thread just started out as a bit of mischief itself but I suddenly seem to be dancing on the edge of a cliff

Don't you mean instead that more women have tried to throw you under the bus ?

In times like this, I think it will benefit all of us if we just experience the wisdom and comfort in the words of Saint George, the patron saint of curmudgeons.

I know nothing about women... only that they try to kill me

This afternoon in a car park I was carefully reversing out of a bay when, instead of waiting for me, a woman came swiftly out of an exit behind and turned right across the back of my car as I was reversing.

Oh okay, I thought... mustn't grumble about women drivers... everyone makes mistakes don't they, except that it was broad daylight, I was directly ahead of her and she wasn't even on the lane onto which I was reversing (before anyone asks why I didn't stop) but entered it when it was not clear or safe to do so. She could see all this.

I was then behind her as she stopped at the car park exit onto the main road. Just as an elderly cyclist came past her on the main road (or at least that was his plan) she pulled out right in front of him, causing him to brake.

I was at the market this morning. Yesterday, and many times over the last three months, I've been to the hospital for various exams. Every other Thursday I go play games with my friends. For more than a year I went to rehearsals with a band three times a week.

The last time I had a woman do something I would describe as dangerous right in front of me was...I don't know...1976? That's the last one I remember anyway.

The last accident I was in was a few months ago, and it was my fault. I backed into a parked car at 0130 hours in a snowstorm. The car I hit belonged to a woman. Maybe that was her fault.

Say what you will about women drivers, and you may have the statistics to back it up; but few things put as much fear into me as a short old man, wearing a hat, driving a big American car.

Nothing good is going to happen.

I will just pull over and wait a few hours to make sure he is not anywhere near me.

DANG IT! I knew I should have ditched the hat!
