Why "women driving" scares me; the majority of them see their cars as a mode of transportation, nothing more. Where men see them as their livelihood. A women could care less if she drives or is driven somewhere so long as she gets there. Men have a larger ego so we're paranoid in parking lots that somebody isn't paying much attention to the car pulling out behind the big tall van.
For me it wasn't just parking lots and cell phones. I've been pulled out on and had near misses just pulling out of my hidden driveway. Men honk early to warn me that they want to get past, women seem to just pull around me while I'm backing out. It's as if the men KNOW I can't see them because they can't see me where as the women think because they can see the back of my car that I'll see them in time . The guys are definatly more aggressive but merge cut-off's and speeding games have never gotten me in any trouble. It's always been these close calls in parking lots where it's no fault. No fault means just that and I'd rather not take the fault when it isn't mine!
