What's behind these young women's sexual assertiveness remains unclear.

The study found little relation between the traits that social psychologists use to predict men's sexual pressuring, including past sexual coercion and aggressiveness. Mr. Desmarais says this might be partly explained by the fact that those women who are more likely to use overt pressure believe that "guys will always say 'yes' if you offer sex to them."

He notes that's it's impossible to know for certain if what the study is measuring is new behaviour or a change in what's considered socially acceptable to report or research.

British courts say women are the 'better' drivers

May 11, 2004

LONDON (AFP) - Women, much-maligned by the opposite sex for their supposed lack of ability behind the wheel, make far safer and more law-abiding drivers than their male counterparts, British officials said.

Of those found guilty of all driving offences by courts in England and Wales in 2002, 88 percent were male motorists, according to statistics published by the Home Office.

Men committed almost all the most serious offences, such as causing death and dangerous driving, but women's share of speeding offences rose from 13 percent in 1998 to 17 percent in 2002.

The category in which women committed the highest number of offences was obstruction, waiting and parking -- being responsible for 23 percent of such cases in 2002.
