One of my friends came to me clearly upset yesterday. She had offered a ride home from school to a male friend who lived the opposite direction as her. When they went to her car to get in. He says “oh” and then “I don’t know many other women who can drive manual” as if it’s an impossible feat. Then he continues the whole way to question her knowledge of how to drive her own car as if concerned for his safety!
I later told her she should have responded with “I don’t know many men who can drive manual transmission”lol
(American cars tend to be automatic transmission)
