I can't, I'm a girl: How Katie Price isn't the only woman to use her gender as an excuse
'Typical woman driver': Katie Price used her gender as an excuse for a driving conviction last month
Katie Price divided opinion when she used her gender as an excuse for a driving conviction last month.
The glamour model told the court, ‘I’m a typical woman driver. It’s a massive great lorry and I just wasn’t used to driving it.’
And it seems she's not the only one to use this tactic, as new research has revealed women use their sex to excuse their actions regularly.
A poll for mycelebrityfashion.co.uk found that 88 per cent of women polled had used their sex as an excuse or avoidance measure in the past, with just over half doing so regularly.
Parking the car was the top situation in which gender excuses are used, with 67 per cent admitting that they had blamed their poor parking on the fact they are female.
Fifty-six per cent used the excuse to avoid catching insects, and 40 per cent blamed their sex for being unable to open a jar.
Women even use their gender to avoid taking the rubbish out (19 per cent) and to excuse their tears (six per cent).
Sarah Heath, fashion editor for the site, said: 'We thought it would be fun to look into whether or not women actually do use their gender as an excuse or to get out of certain situations, following Katie Price’s revelation last week about being a "woman driver", which certainly ruffled a few feathers.
EXCUSES, EXCUSES...
The top ten situations in which women are likely to use their gender as an excuse or avoidance measure.
'While it was surprising to find just how many women do, it’s important to bear in mind that the majority admitted to doing so in a ‘jokey’ manner; without really seeing truth in the "I can’t, I’m a girl" claim.
'We’re planning on looking into the situations in which men also use their sex as an excuse; to see if the stereotypes really are true.
Eating too much? Careless driving? The mind boggles!'
Of the participants that admitted to using their gender as an excuse, 52 per cent said that they did not think the tactic was ‘demeaning’ to women.
Just one in five said they were serious when they used such excuses, and over two-thirds claimed to be joking.
