[scathing]

In Dori Princess' defence, there have been occasions in the past where some blokes have behaved in a way which suggests SAU/ people associated with the club do not treat female owners/ enthusiasts the same way they do blokes.

Case in point- one of my first SAU events, one guy went around the circle of people there, shook hands, introduced himself, got to me, gave me a quick glance without saying a word, and moved on to the bloke standing next to me.

Plus some of the general comments thrown around the forum

So should something be done about it to make everyone more gender neutral, or should the cycle be propagated by the "outcasts" segregating themselves further?

Reverse discrimination is still discrimination, so if you're motivation is to avoid it then it just makes you look hypocritical.

And, if its only a small minority, then why set up a different club that's purely for girls? Its not like everyone is out to get you, so it seems like a bit of a hissy fit that just reinforces negative stereotypes about females.

I can understand where you're coming from. Being in I.T. (another historically male dominated subculture) I've seen what its like, especially during the boom when it was 99% male, with an average age in the late teens / early 20's. I've seen some of the shit that people have posted on BBS' and Internet forums, and I've seen what some people have IM'ed my ex's completely out of the blue.

But I just find that "well, we have to set up our own clique because there are some fcuktards out there" a bit offensive, and counter productive. The people that ended Apartheid / civil rights for black didn't do it by walling themselves in and only making the occasional foray out.

Personally, I don't care what kind of chromosome pairs my fellow car enthusiasts have for me to give them respect. Its their maturity, intelligence and tastes (or lack of them) that decide whether I live up to my nick towards them. So if someone trash talks a fellow car enthusiast purely because of their genitalia, they failed my maturity and intelligence requirements and I'll give it to them with both barrels.

While I'll still post the occasional ribald comment, just because I'm gender neutral in my respect doesn't mean I'm not male. But those comments will have nothing to do with a person's suitability behind the wheel with any seriousness.

Pretty MotorSports is kinda odd, but how many girls want to walk around wearing a shirt with THAT acronym on it?

[satanic]

Why go Pretty Motorsports when not everyone female is pretty? Furthermore, some males these days are way prettier than some girls that I've seen around (with all the metrosexual crap going on) but you are a females only club... How does the name PRETTY MOTORSPORT show that?

I think a much simpler name would be FEMALE CAR CLUB, or if you really want to widen the scope, FEMALE CLUB!

or mens gallery..

what... it is full of females too.

Hi there,

Even though i know i really shoudn't have a say(cause im a male) but i think "pretty motorsports" isnt that bad of a name for a girls club.

If all u girls aint happy with the name i think u should at least suggest a name.

If i would have to suggest a name it would be "Drivin Obsession" but i guess its not really the best anyways let me know what u think.

[CEF11E]

Yeah i dont really like the name much either, but i do like

"Drivin Obsession"...

but what would i know, I'm a guy...

[GTR32X]

I actually wanted to write the name

DRIVEN OBSESSION not drivin obsession

Sorry about that
