Most new PH posters who poke their heads above the parapet -- male or female -- get a pasting. Natural-selection at work before our very eyes. Don't take it personally. Stick with it (assuming you're genuine). PH is a good forum.

It's fine, I'm good. What do you mean genuine?

I think a gentlemen might have revealed himself here, thank you. x

What makes you think we are not mostly women anyway?

I have read a few posts from women, hence my joining up.

There are many women on here, we don't all go shouting about it though.

Well that's good then, I'm happy with my gender so I'm happy to be gender-specific.

No one on here really cares if you're female or not, but coming out with the feminist defensive comments right out the gate... Why not just join in? There are other women who do without having to make a song and dance about it. its a community where everyone is welcome anyway... Why the "better drivers" and "threads of our own" comments were needed I don't know, because you seem to be more hung up on the gender/feminist issue than anyone else.

It's a car forum after all...

[Ayahuasca]

We are all (well most of us) happy with our gender. It's not a gender specific site. You want to start a thread about shoes, fill your boots.

There's already two places on the Internet where you can talk about female topics and are predominantly inhabited by women - Mumsnet and Netmums.

In that case you might be better received over at Mums net.

I'm happy with my gender too,but I don't feel the need to be gender specific.

Yes but maybe she is not a mum and not completely mental.

It wasn't like that, it was a bit of banter, it's hard for anyone to post anything first-time, I have a sense of humour, I'm not remotely feminist but I do consider myself as a fellow human-being, I'm up for a few laughs, if I were you I wouldn't get hung-up about it, I can take it and I can give it too, also I'm not hiding my femininity around a bunch of fellas either.

A funny thing though that it's mostly fellas in this thread addressed specifically to women, no matter.

Don't take things personal, I know women drivers who can't drive and men too, I'm sure we all do, usually I bat my false eyelashes and these issues go away, but I realise this is the internet!

Her sense of humour isn't the best mind

Christ I couldn't be doing with all that talk about kids, Holly Willoughby and prices of groceries honey.

Welcome to PH, and you will find that if you post on automotive topics in particular its a pretty constructive place. Don't worry about the variety of reactions. As you demonstrate a genuine interest in things automotive you should be just fine.

[danjama]

Lotus Elan you say?

Enjoy!

What a lovely little car! I do like the Elan, lovely and small, not only that but I have shoes and a handbag in that yellow! Pure joy, Cat-Eye sunglasses would be a must too!

Oh and...is that you then?

'You've got a bloody nerve' she giggled, provocatively.

Reading down you seem to be not alone with that fantasy, wierd isn't in it!
