I had my first driving lesson yesterday (coincidentally, it was also my 17th birthday - well that's not a coincidence at all, actually... 
) and the reaction form one of my... friends? has rather annoyed me.
He appears to be absolutely convinced that women are always worse drivers than men.
This is the exact wording from when he met me afterwards;
Him: Did you crash?
Me: No.
Him: DAMN!
It's so great to know that one of my friends is willing me to crash...

In my opinion there is a lot of difference between individuals, but generalising people into groups is generally daft and doesn't really give the right picture.
I'm not that concerned with him believing women to be bad drivers because people can believe what they want, although admittedly it does annoy me.
What I'm annoyed with is his reaction. He should not want ANYone to crash, let alone a friend...

I don't think he really wants you to crash, it's just bad humor.
I'm pretty sexist and racialist in my humor, while in life I'm absolutely not. I'm one of the most open and liberal people I know, and it makes racialist/sexist/homophobic etc. jokes even more funny.

Then he should realise that people aren't finding it funny.
I try not to let stuff like that get to me because mostly it is just a joke, but this time my humour seems to be failing.

Not at the moment, no. 
But when he next makes a comment like that I will be... however, I won't see him again for a few days...

'tis funny to me.
I'll have pictures of me from a few improvisation shows we did last week pretty soon, and I'll tell you when theyre available on the net Did you see the "Plastelina" pictures (I remember you saw pictures from "Mesiba" and "Zachacha" but I think the "Plastelina you didn't see), theyre available on a link from my page on Dance, and are in a seperate album from the other 2 shows.
Love,
Dancer
