Driving ethics(or lack thereof)
This is for all the misunderstood males.It's not rare to watch on TV some heroic, chivalric acts of courage by males when they swerve their cars to the left(when the driver seat is to the right of the car) just to keep the passengers on the left safe.
(By default, all rational drivers would swerve to their right. Think with that assumption in mind.)
Here's a picture to illustrate what I mean, in case my words aren't precise enough and besides a picture paints a thousand words:
The male is supposed to swerve to the right in case of emergencies, because that way the male would be placed in more danger as compared to the delectable pussy on the male's left. Drivers swerve reflexively to their right because that way they'd be further away from whatever it about to knock into them, thus sacrificing the passenger seat on their left instead of the driver's seat and the driver. But for the heroic, chivalric drivers, they are supposed to protect their females, so they're supposed to act against their instincts/reflexes by swerving to their left, thus sacrificing the driver's seat+driver instead of passenger's seat+pussy.
Here's what's supposed to happen:
But the above scenario should only happens when the male is drunk, or in a state of arousal(thus the oversight of one bloody pillar). What if it's a lonely drunk male driving a car chionging towards him and the female he desires to mate with? Here's what's going to happen:
Now consider the case of a rational male with a woman in his car, who is about to get into a car crash with a lonely drunk male:
The most probable result is a bruised bumper, slight concussions and no deaths because the end result is just a graze.
That's why humans all agree that being noble is stupid--you end up sacrificing more lives just to prove that you're a dick--and you end up killing the lonely drunk male in the process.
Of course, there's this scenario in which both males could have a female on their left, but what are the chances of both men being chivalric?
Note that I've always been writing in a male perspective. This is because females are expected to save their own asses in such a scenario by swerving to their right. It is much more damaging to the male's ego should they be saved by the death of their female driver.
Females, if the male in question places your life in danger, it's a good chance that he's thinking of everyone's life on board, and not just trying to show off that he's not an asshole. Sometimes, being an asshole saves everyone. Why not save everyone instead of appearing chivalric in death? What's the point?
Moral of the story: Do not gauge a man's selflessness by his driving reflexes.
