Men who are easily distracted by “the mere sight of a woman's thigh” should be banned from driving, says a petition posted on the White House website.
The petition, entitled “Prohibit Straight Men From Driving,’ was posted on May 26 by someone in Illinois and has more than 12,000 signatures to date. It needs 100,000 signatures by June 25 to merit a response from the White House.
“In many public schools, there are dress codes that prohibit students from wearing tank-tops, tube tops, and shorts that are deemed ‘too short,’ as these could distract male students,” the petition reads. “If men can be this easily distracted by women's bodies, then this raises a variety of safety concerns.
“Many busy highways have billboards that use sexually suggestive imagery of women's bodies,” the petition reads. “Women also often go about their everyday lives near roadways wearing tank-tops and short shorts.
“If straight men (and men of other sexual orientations who are attracted to women) can be distracted by the mere sight of a woman's thigh, then it is a public safety hazard to allow them to operate vehicles that weigh thousands of pounds at up to 75mph past these inevitable distractions,” the petition reads.
Billed as a platform to give all Americans “a way to engage their government on the issues that matter to them,” the White House online petition page has proved very popular since its launch in 2011, even attracting the attention of activists overseas.
As the Associated Press recently reported, Malaysians have complained to the White House about election fraud in their country, Chinese activists have revived the case of a college student poisoned 18 years ago, and activists in other nations also have vented frustrations that get no consideration back home.
To post a petition on “We the People,” petition filers must be 13 or older, no “obscene, vulgar, or lewd material” is allowed, and “threats of unlawful violence” and advertising are banned.
Most of the petitions deal with serious, if obscure, topics, but silliness is not a disqualifier: A petition to “recount” votes in the 2012 election has more than 73,000 signatures, while a plea to “recognize acupuncturist as healthcare providers” has more than 29,000.
I'd sign that petition...
NUTS.

If women were required to drive topless men would eventually become immune to the distraction. That’s my suggestion and I’m sticking to it.
I suppose that would be an incentive to keep the roads in good repair, too - no potholes.
Jackie: So you’re driving in the car, you’re with your friend, minding your own business?
Kramer: Yeah.
Jackie: Then what happened?
Kramer: Well, then we saw this woman, and she was wearing a bra with no top.
Jackie: No top? She didn’t have a top on?
Kramer: Yeah. So I got distracted and I crashed the car.
Jackie: Well how would you describe this woman? Would you say she was an attractive woman?
Kramer: Oh, yeah.
Jackie: So we got an attractive woman, wearing a bra, no top, walkin’ around in broad daylight. She’s flouting society’s conventions!
Kramer: She was flouting.
Jackie: That’s totally inappropriate. It’s lewd, lascivious, salacious, outrageous!
Situation would be no different than driving with tops on. Men still would have little cause to look, because not every woman has attractive breasts.
Not to mention women walking down the road without wearing a bra.
Just when you think you've seen the most stupid, there's always something more stupid...such as this.
Well, why not a petition to prevent gay men from driving ? They could be just as distracted by seeing some guy's a$$ or package....
I just think it would be funny to hear the response over at the White House about this. “President Obama has not experienced being distracted by woman, but a guy in a tight pair of Levi’s.....oh man.” That is all.
That made me wonder too.
Let’s start a petition to create internment and isolation camps for gaylords. Same thing they want to do us.
LLS
I wouldn’t take this petition too seriously.
I read it as a satirical ‘reduction ad absurdum,’ initiated by someone with an axe to grind over school dress codes.
Queers should then be banned from driving also, as one never knows when or what may trigger their urges. It all about distracted driving and safety, right?
Just out of curiosity, do you find that funny?
Not a Seinfeld fan, eh?
What if Helen Thomas commuted to work on your route every day?
