Blow-up doll for insecure female drivers

So some company is marketing a blow-up doll for women who are insecure about driving at night, alone. Apparently, the presence of what appears to other people as a real person, gives them enough security to drive around town.

Now, I wonder — do women over-estimate the blow-up dolls’ size, too?

However sexist the whole concept is, it may be concluded that a women’s mind is easily distracted, more succeptible to invasive, negative thoughts that might influence their performance.

Of course this solution doesn’t really work either — it is fooling the women (or person using it) into believing that it is, indeed, safer.

The fact is that anybody using it, seriously does over-estimate its power. Any criminal or sex-offender on a mission can simply use heat-detection to detect that the guy sitting next to the woman is a fake.

It’s a funny concept, but I laugh even harder at the people will actually buy it… In my humble opinion its actually sickening trying to make money of someones’ mental insecurity selling a solution that doesn’t really work.

(Trying hard to refrain from making parallels with the Airplane! film.)
