    That window breaker appears to be a combo seat belt cutter and is a good item to have in your car in general. Didn’t know they were primarily marketed to women.

      I don’t think they are. I get what the “meme” is going for, but it looks to me more like adding “women” to the query just eliminates PPE from the results.

      I have a combo window breaker, seatbelt cutter, fire starter, knife, flashlight next to the driver’s seat in my and my wife’s cars.

      We used to keep it in the glove box until we realized in an emergency (when it would be needed), it would be inaccessible.

        On that note; in the event of a crash, will it stay where you put it, or go flying across the cabin?

          It’s in the center console that closes by sliding the cover closed. I’m not saying it’s impossible for that to jam or come open, but in a case like that, the car would have to be in pretty bad shape and it still would have been useless in the glove box.

        It is a thing I need to rectify myself (and I’m not talking at you directly) but make sure where you keep your tool is secured to a fixed object. There’s some that have very snug holders that should keep them in place

        If you experience a rollover, you will be disoriented and everything will have been flung about. Nothing will be where is should be if you rely on pockets or compartments

      They aren’t. But Google knows the gender of the person searching, or can atleast make a very, very educated guess.

      What it actually means is that women buy these items, therefore they get recommended to other women, as classified by Google.

      But we can only speculate, as this is just a shitty meme.

      oh look. PPE as the first image
