    I use my turn signal all the time so I’m not one of these people, but here’s what I’ve heard from others over the years:

    • there’s a video of one woman being asked on a college campus and she said it’s not “manly” for men to use their turn signals
    • one cop on Reddit said he doesn’t use it when he “knows” no one is around
    • my dad would get on my mom about it and she said it was a bad habit of not putting it on (whereas my dad stressed us to use ours when teaching us how to drive)
    • I had a friend who brushed it off because “it’s just me being a girly girl” while making a stupid cute face gesture

      The idea that moving your finger slightly to support the smoothe functioning of traffic and the welfare of other humans is not “masculine” enough makes me want to castrate some fuckers.
