Let me help you. Try to read the misogynistic posts, trailers and avatars from a female perspective.

I agree.It does get rather embarrassing at times. |

Chas,
"I don't think we drive them away from this site with bad behavior." Yes, Sir you do. Your condescending post is one of the examples. I'm sorry for you. I mean you no harm.

I agree with sdfletch. Remember Chas, acknowledging that you have a problem is the first step to correcting it.  |

Nor I you.
If you view my post as condescension then we can agree to disagree. In no way was I patronizing you.
I asked for a serious and simple explanation of your views of what you feel is 'wrong' with the site. I was hoping for a two-way (or more) discussion of your observations. You have apparently refused to present those views. Telling someone 'you don't get it' and then politely offering pity because of their perceived ignorance smacks of an agenda or shoulder chip. Not very friendly, mature or sporting.
If you do feel we 'don't get it' here, why are you a member and keep coming? There is no evidence that you're a Cobra person, a techie, hot rodder, biker or even a car person.
Patrick, our Village Idiot is having a ball with this. Ignore him. I am honestly trying to get your views.

So Chas, just how long have you harbored this hidden hostility towards women?  |

I'm just clueless. I always miss the obvious. The avatars! Huh.
What about Jamo's avatar then? That one REALLY offends me.
Seriously, have you ever been to Facebook? A lot of women frequent over there.

Many of us are still here. If this place seems less civil, its probably largely due to the uncivil world we live in now. Its everywhere, unfortunately here too.....

Fellas, I have found that in my 40 years of femaledom the best way to deal with a jerk is to IGNORE them. If you pay them no attention, they'll usually take their toys and go home  . Remember-Ignorance is Curable...Stupid is Forever. Don't be stupid.  ~G

Other than the last couple of posts, I think this thread is getting to be the reason that this post came up in the first place.

Growing up in a "mans" hobby, whether it is cars or guns or anything else, is a choice. In making that choice I am fully aware of what I may be exposed to and I can also choose not to participate when the "mood" goes in that direction. It's like anything in life...my rights end where yours begin and vice-versa. I may not agree with what you have to say (or how you choose to say it) but I will fight for your right to say it; because then I can say my piece too.
I do like to see the posts that are more helpful than hurtful, but I also think alittle jabbing is fun too. |
Milady you sound like my beloved wife! She is very much feminine when she wants to be and is a police firearms instructor by profession. She also loves our Cobra. You guys whose women don't like your cars are missing out!

Awwww, come on?! You don't like Doc 460? I think he's a riot and I have an FE! 
Really guys (and girls, we have to be equal always!) in the words of the immortal Sgt Hulka; "Lighten up Francis!"

Steve, Leave it to us "Southern Girls" to be "well rounded". Of course, assuming she's a southern girl because your from Georgia; She's beautiful, obviously intellegent and must be a good aim, so if she isn't from the south, she meets all the criteria. Scarlet would be proud.
Seriously, it's nice to hear about other women who appreciate the same things I do. But where you said "You guys whose women don't like your cars are missing out!", I think their wives are missing out too.
I don't know alot about the mechanical aspect of the hobby (I tend to rely on the guys here and a few special friends I've made in our local club)...I know the basics. The size and type of motor, what type of carb, transmission, rear end etc. and I know the difference in a flat head and phillips. That being said, my tool box is bigger than my husbands. He probably has a better understanding than I do but not the passion. But he "supports my habit". He can't hardly drive my Cobra...he's 6'5 and about 310lbs, but he gets into me being excited about it. If more women understood that, the world would be a better place.  Maybe your wife and I need to start the "I support my mans car habit" movement. ~G

I don't post that often unless i can help with with anothers need who has asked for help. I look at CC every day as well as many others but stay on the sideline and watch some children play. This is a forum that allows alot of lead way for anything that some one has to say but all members should remember that we are not all democrats and we are all not republicans when we visit this unbiased site. We are all not blessed with the same veiws an opinions as others.
I still enjoy every time i am driving my cobra an also enjoy seeing other cobras being driven and we wave at each other.
PLEASE THINK OF OTHERS BEFOR YOU ?????
I ENJOY READING HAL COPPEL'S AND OTHERS EPISODES OF COBRA STORIES HOW EVER THEY SEEM TO NOT SHOW UP ON CC ANYMORE
WHY??????

Wait a minute! There're WOMEN on this site?!?!
Hard not to think of ClubCobra as a "boys club".
Shoot! I was finally going to get around to posting that picture of Danica Patrick in a bikini laying on a Cobra into my gallery...

Don't let me stop you Doug! Any women who looks like her, and can drive like her, can lay anywhere she wants in anything she wants. ~G
