Im not sure what to think about this....

Why wouldn't women drive the Z? It is a woman's car after all. I asked my son if he wanted to drive mine and he said, "No, that's a girl's car." What is a "pat"?

What exactly makes this a "woman's car"? Please expound in great detail, because a simple answer just won't be sufficient i.e. "it looks like a chick car" (which it doesn't) won't do.

I drive it, I am a woman, therefore my Z is a woman's car. My Xterra was a woman's truck. My MGB is also a woman's car. What is a "pat?"

Edited to add: It was originally named the Fairlady and still is in Japan. I know that gender is a social construct and would agree that anyone can drive any car they please, but I actually feel pretty when driving mine and I don't feel that attractive otherwise. I will admit that I'm a bit of a tomboy, so maybe it isn't that femme, but it makes me feel feminine. It's like wearing a skirt instead of pants. I'm ok if men do that, but don't call it a utility kilt and act like it's macho. It's ok to be in touch with your feminine side but it doesn't do you much good if you try to bury it and repress those feelings.

Does it disturb you when you see androgynous people or is the word androgynous just too hard to type so you resort to "pat?" I'm rather androgynous myself and I find the term "pat" insulting. To believe that just because you are narrow minded, juvenile and sexist, that your audience here is the same is not even ignorant, it's actually stupid. Grow up and get an education so that you can realize that just because someone doesn't look like you it doesn't mean that they're not a wonderful, caring, giving, selfless person that deserves your respect. If you are indicative of the average Z owner I will probably be considering selling mine as I wouldn't want to be thought to have anything in common with such a person.

Ok so this is over right now, this thread has nothing to do with what is going on. This conversation will stop with Miranda's post, if anyone wishes to carry on with it please feel free to utilize the pm system that has been setup for us.

Thank you and have a nice day
