The only conclusion I draw is that you must be British.
That's an interesting question. I could tell what you meant from your first post; there can be some "passenger awareness" when the driver's female. I don't think about it at the time, but there definitely are things I'm watching, unnecessarily, when a passenger in the front seat.
I think the sexism in that situation is interesting because you frequently realize your observance of a female driver, but rarely of a male driver. It's not like we're some superior vehicle operator species, but I rarely keep tabs on male drivers. And when I'm the driver, my criticism of others on the road is pretty even between both sexes.
