My hat's off to you, Wojtek, for your powerful anti-car manifesto.  However,
I must note there is at least one striking exception to the patriarchal
dominance cited here -- myself.  Whenever my wife and I drive together, she
almost always takes the wheel, because (1) she actually enjoys driving and
(2) I drive too slowly for her.  I feel not the slightest tinge of macho
resentment and am most grateful to be relieved of what I see as a chore,
plain and simple.
