You might be guilty of modern sexism in this instance Herschel, which is the phenomena of saying that the problems of sexism are largely over with--this is not the case at all. Also, I have never gotten out of a speeding ticket, and I've gotten four, all by male cops, so this is not an advantage that women experience. I wouldn't want to experience that either, it sounds uncomfortable.
If you want to see how the other half lives, find some way to subject yourself to years of systematic sexism that completely shapes your outlook on life and limits your opportunities. Dick.
Sexism swings both ways. No way in hell I can get out of a speeding ticket by wearing a low-cut top, for example. Women probably do get the short end of the stick, but it's not nearly as pernicious as it was 50 years ago.
