Although I've never been put in the MCP category by any feminists around me, I do believe in the stereotype about women being bad drivers. In fact, i think it is about automobiles rather than driving. With my experiences, I tend to feel that there is some biology behind it. A recent conversation with a friend from Venus over formula one has just reinforced my belief. Excerpts...
Me: Pizza, Coke and a formula one race. What a perfect way to spend a sunday evening....(some facts about Monaco).
Her: I'm not interested in formula one racing because I don't feel its 'sporty enough'.
Me: (WTF!) Well, your disinterest is fine but I don't find your reason convincing enough.
Her: Hmm...You see, there is not enough physical exertion involved.
Me: (WTF! With a frown) Do you have any idea what the driver goes through during the race?
Her: Ya. I very well know they loose a few kilos and experience quite enormous G forces, but you can hardly call that exertion. I mean look at other sports, the players sweat and pant and work their ass out, but that doesn't happen with a formula one driver.
Me: (Do you have any fucking idea that you just let out an ocean of nonsensical garbage from your mouth?). I think its perfectly fits the definition of sport. It involves skill, teamwork, strategy, physical exertion (contrary to what you so strongly 'feel') and on top of that loads of excitement.
Her: I choose to disagree. I think it it like chess and scrabble and it shouldn't be categorized as sport.
Me: (:-O...God, forgive her, for she knows not what she speaks) Lets not continue this discussion any further dear (as it will be a disgrace to formula one racing and will only lead me to suspect that you have actually lost your mind).
A friend (who also has high regard for the fairer sex) mentions in his blog a woman wanting to lose weight so that she can put on weight again. I once had an argument over the reason behind a girl fucking up the spelling of her name. Turned out she found the correct spelling 'boring'. I'm sure every man has his share of these unfathomable conversations, and they invariably make you feel there is more to it than just bad driving. For now, lets just assume they don't have automobiles on Venus.
P.S. - Some interesting F1 facts here.

dude this is hilarious... so what if they loose a few kilos :P lmao.... lol and g forces... i think u shud be thanking God that she said g force instead of g spot :P :D
heh heh...it would have been better...one thing leads to another you see ;)
hillarious post man !!
if women realised F1 was a good way to lose weight, they did line up here instead of gulping green tea and living on salads :)
LOL...you can suggest that to these health & wellness companies...at upto 4kgs an hour, they can beat the hell out of anyone :D
Masterpiece! The woman even more so than the post. To be so perfectly ignorant and clueless as to compare it with Scrabble and Chess seals the deal :) Knowing the woman and imagining her uttering this is even more priceless :)
Ha! ha! ha! Venutians are driven more by 'feelings' than 'facts'. And you gave a classic example. I was little confused that if we had a F1 of women drivers would it look more like go-karting or Bumper Cars. LoL ...jk!
@TKS-Did u try? Lemme know how far did u reach in convincing her. My best guess would be "all in vain" :-P
@ujjWAL-I'd suggest you too join the club and throw some more light on Venusian traits in 'Eternal Impressions'.
@All-I just remembered Nicholas Hulot on Discovery Channel (the guy in Ushuaia, if u remember) saying zero gravity feels like sex. Makes me wonder what High G forces would feel like. Who knows...women may have more than one reason for hopping in ;-)

Well, well... Even though I sympathize you with the love of F1; I would say you are on the brink of being seen as a MCP by your female fans :)
As for experiencing High G forces... go ahead do a bungee jump & you will know. And there are some very good female drivers; watch Top Gear; Of course they are an endangered species.
Amazingly written, Swear a little less :)
