Subaru Apologizes For Sexist Facebook Post About Female Drivers

The post was made by a dealership in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates according to BuzzFeed.com.

The post has since been deleted, but screenshots of the post have since been leaked on multiple media outlets.

The post read before being deleted:
"Women drivers at it again.

An entire family has perished as a result of a grave mistake by a lady driver on SZR this weekend. A Jordanian woman parked her car right in the middle of the road on Sheikh Zayed motorway after it suffered from a tyre puncture. She ignored the driver's warning to take her car off the road and fix the tire on the hard shoulder area.

Unfortunately a driver who was passing through that area had warned the woman to instantly take her car off the road but that she did not listen.

Call it her ignorance, 4 innocent soul paid with their life including a 9-month-old baby boy. Another woman
in the car was said to be seriously wounded.

Well RTA cannot put in extra parameters for women to check their presence of mind during crisis situation while driving, its all about being responsible driver."

The dealership tried to defend the post initially, saying ""not anti-women bro, just pointing out few facts.

Now we cannot ignore this fact the accident happened due to a women driver carelessness" in a follow up statement.
They quickly changed their tune however, issuing an apology to anyone who was offended by the post.

"A recent post on our Facebook Page offended the sentiments of a number of people," said the dealership in the apology. "Our sincere apology goes out to everyone for this. We respect your sentiments and have taken down the post with immediate effect."
