I have to agree with deziner on his well written post. Stereotypes are what they are and unfortunately the women always seem to get the bad wrap.
Actually, that is not true. Men have just as many inaccurate or unfair negative stereotypes.... Being unfaithful, unable to concentrate, not willing or able to clean/cook/sew/whatever, being generally reckless, being rude, having no memory, being unable to commit, being consumed by sports, unable to talk about feelings, etc, etc.
Yes, most stereotypes are based on accurate generalities... but individuals in any stereotyped group should not feel limited by the box they might feel placed in. At least, I hope not. Some stereotypes are, indeed, funny (when used carefully and appropriately)... and although I try to be respectful, I don't want to be overly PC either.
I, for one, have no question in my mind you are a better rider than I am. And I am not ashamed to say it in public, either. But I will keep trying to be better
