Anyone ever been put into the "girl" stereotype?

[Bitch]

OOO that drives me crazy. I had this friend in college I thought respected me. I found out later that he figured all girls were bad drivers and didnt' want me to drive his car. He was piss drunk and I don't drink. His friends insisted I drive him so he had to listen...fraternity crap, big bro says do, you do! Anyhoo.

An ex did that to me too. He was in a band and I being with him through it all had a good idea what was going on. I was never clueless in this matter. I had a few observations and opinions to offer him but as he stated, I'm a girl, I dont' know anything about bands. WTF! So a mutual friend was in the band. He was willing to listen to me so I gave him my advice instead. He offered that same advice to my ex as if they were his ideas (I gave him permission to since my ex wouldn't hear it otherwise). My ex took the advice and ran with them. LOL total dickhead, same advice I was tryign to give him but since his male friend gave it to him instead, he listenned and took the advice. I finally fessed up. He was shocked but I still never got the respect. Ohwell, no wonder that relationship went down the tubes.

I don't have the driving problem for long.... I am a safe driver with a "casually reckless" feel.... guys tend to clutch their nuts a little closer when they aren't in control. It helps that I am a better driver than most of the guys, (especially in my own car.... a girl should always know the limitations of her own ride) and they had to break down and give me props (even my man's dickhole cousins) when I had to repeatedly parallel park the U-haul truck while I was helping them move. Not only did I carry my fair share of weight (more than fair cuz none of the shit was mine) but it was the middle model of truck, not the pussy little ones. and the last time, I parked that bitch in the dark.

Its good to occasionally frighten the boys in the passenger seat into white knuckles... its good for 'em, gives them 'spirituality'..... :thumbsup:

If guys start pressing me to hard about driving. I tell them to put their money where their mouth is.

Majority of the time I take it. Knowing the limitations of your ride is good... I tend to break them, build them and rediscover them.

I hate the girl sterotypes, It's so annoying but it's funny how women are the default gene.. Not a lot of guys know that. :tongue:

I bet if guys truly understood they were all once girls for a brief time in their lives they'd chill. ...Or just try to be more manly...you know, prove their manlihood. ;)

I'm probably the reason there's a stereotype against women drivers. I'm really a bad driver. My only strength is that I know I'm a bad driver, and tend to drive more cautiously than others.

I've been put into the girl stereotype in other (very undeserved) ways as well. I was working for this director once (I was the stage manager) and he was new to the theater; he really needed to take my advice, but as I was just a girl, he wouldn't. TG my best friend was in the cast, and I could tell him what had to happen and he would tell the misogynistic fuckstick director. And then, because my friend happened to have testicles instead of a vagina, the necessary action would take place. :mad: Not that I could have a fucking clue what the right thing to do was. Not that I was perfectly capable of wrangling 10 actors, 6 crew members, and an entire scene shop. Not that I had more than 2 electrons in my built-for-raising-babies head. Come to think of it, why did G-d give me a head in the first place? I could just be a row of tits and a vagina. That's all he saw me as anyway. :bonk:

i've worked in male dominated industries (purposely? perhaps), trust that i can relate. it's funny though once you hand them their ass, they get like little school boys, all giddy and sloppy like they cannot concentrate. torn btwn wood for the gurl or wood for the gurl w/ knowledge, so sad and terrible too b/c you have to watch them twitch. like an accident; you know what's going on but you still have to unscrew your noggin' as if it was your first time seeing one.
