Feminism to blame

A few weeks back I posted about the increase in female violence in Timaru. Now it seems their female drink-driving rate is rising pushing the overall rate up again after years of decline. This editorial puts some of the blame on feminism;

From women never being able to wrest the driving wheel from their partners to only getting the privilege when driving him home from the pub, now Timaru police find half their drink drive offenders are women. And they come from all walks of life. What's going on? The feminist movement has something to do with it.

........The message has to be the same to everyone. Drunk drivers maim and kill. It doesn't matter what gender they are.

That's an interesting observation. Whereas a drunk female assaulting someone has less chance of causing serious damage than a male, behind a wheel she has exactly the same potential.
