than men?
Honest question if anyone has a theory of why this phenomena seems to hold true?

There is a glitch in female’s mind-muscle connection.

Same reason I run into things and have trouble with hitting door frames. I’m blind as a bat and don’t have great depth perception.
Fingers crossed I haven’t hit a curb in years.

Women and men are evolved to have different skills that their eyes specialize in. Women’s eyes are better adapted for seeing and differentiating colors more precisely. Men’s eyes are better equipped for depth perception and judging speed. One of those specialties is more useful for avoiding curbs.

you ever tried talking on the phone and putting on eyeliner, while driving and drinking a thermos of latte mochaccino espresso frap, and posting to Insta?

I think their boobs get in the way of being able to steer the wheel correctly kind of like a golf swing

Countering anecdotal evidence: over five years I've hit two curbs and my wife has hit zero. frickers came out of nowhere!

Hunter-gatherer skillsets.
Hunting animals required more depth perception, distance/speed judgment, etc.
Gathering food from plants required lots of specific differentiation of textures, colors, etc. to avoid poisonous plants.

I can't remember specifically but women hit one curb at an intersection more often than men based on an accident investigation class I took years ago. I think it was the outside curb where men usually cut it to short and hit the inside

When they took "curb feelers" off those old school Merican Heavy Metal pimpmobiles both sexes have been hitting curbs since.

Because they have zero spacial awareness.
Ever seen them with a grocery cart or pushing a stroller. They run into stuff with that

It’s not anecdotal. Women are involved in 20% minor collisions than men are and 30% more reversing or parking lot accidents than men are.
Men are 200-300% more likely to be in fatal accidents.
That’s according my extensive research on ChatGPT

Poor spatial awareness and no interest in learning the footprint of their vehicle. Also, no ability to determine closing rate of moving objects.

Because men gave them permission to drive.
