How Women Wriggle Out When They are Cornered

Women wriggle out of sticky situations by using their gender to take advantage of the circumstance.

A survey found that 88 per cent of respondents had used their sex as an excuse at some point while more than half admitted they did so regularly.

Stress and the Gender Divide
Stress has become entwined in the current lifestyle of a young working couple and has resulted in the rise in incidence of hypertension, diabetes and psychosomatic illnesses.

Driving was the most common scenario, with 67 per cent blaming their poor parking on being a woman, reports the Daily Mail. More than half of women blamed their gender on their inability to catch spiders in the bath - while slightly fewer than half used it to avoid carrying heavy items.

The news follows Katie Price's admission in court last week that she had swerved while driving her pink horsebox because she was a 'typical woman driver'.

The top ten situations in which women are likely to use their gender as an excuse:

Sarah Heath, of MyCelebrityFashion.co.uk, said, "Whilst it was surprising to find just how many women do use the excuse, it's important to bear in mind that the majority admitted to doing so in a "jokey" manner."
