I do not think that. I was responding with respect to a TYPICAL
stranded motorist family: male driving and female in the front
passenger seat. An exceptional woman is more likely to work
on navigational skills, and more likely to actually navigate,
when/while/if she is in the passenger seat.
You are building a Straw, dare I say, Man argument.

Yes, I assume some women do have good skills, and
some men do not. This does not address the Average
skill-level of each sex. It also does not address how
Varied those the skill-levels are.

“Assuming that you are superior ... gives them the element of
surprise and the advantage.”
I alluded to this in an earlier post:
“A case where any solo woman gains a differential advantage:
the male(s) underestimate the woman.”

"I can do just fine solo...". That sounds good to me.

Your post is a good example of the biased-sample and
the biased-reporter problem.

"..I know a lot of other women.."
"...I also know alot of men..."
"...you think only an exceptional woman can read a map..."
