AAA has started a nationwide campaign this week to pass federal and state laws banning text messaging while driving in all 50 states by 2013. Currently, states including Alaska, California, Connecticut, Louisiana, Minnesota, New Jersey, Washington and The District of Columbia have all approved legislation banning drivers from text-messaging while driving. But as for Alabama, the recently introduced "text-message while driving" bill that passed in the House, hit a red light in the Senate last session. According to Auburn Public Safety Director, Bill James, "regulating text-messaging while driving would be nearly impossible to enforce; it's not a realistic law."

However, the American culture has brought about, with its attempts at equality, what seems to be confusion in the gender roles. Now, let me preface before I begin my rant. I have no “ax to grind” with men. In fact, I am the president of their fan club. I have not been wronged or mistreated by the men in my life nor had a boyfriend to have a brutal break-up with. And, of course, I do not believe every testosterone-filled individual embodies the following characteristics; I am simply recounting an unfortunate pattern I have had to witness.
