Okay fine. How about the ghetto Civics with black hoods and sawed off exhausts? Boy racer car. Totes.

 

[snerd]

..... Totes.

I know that one!!! I think it was e.rose that edumacated me!

I totally disagree that a Mini is a "girl's" car. First of all, it's "women." Second, just as many men as women are likely to own/drive a Mini. Finally, even if it were associated with women, who cares???

What about a Jetta?

That is a females car, mostly likely an Ugg boot wearing female.

I don't know what the hell is up with Maine. A Jetta? I see both men and women driving Jettas all the time.

What's wrong with a certain gender liking a certain car more than another?

Are we no longer allowed to point out differences between men and women?

No, it's not just the association; it's the disdain that comes along with that association that is bothersome. It's the attitude that it is shameful to be seen driving a car that is typically driven by a woman. And yet, a woman drives, say, a pick-up truck and she's suddenly all sexy and cool. Double standards are stupid.

But seriously, a Jetta is totally neutral, dude.

It isn't even reality. Manufacturers make things to a extent gender oriented as part of design and sales strategy. she just got upset over the truth. SHE CANT HANDLE THE TRUTH! (a few good men)

I didn't use it incorrectly. Sex is biological. Gender is cultural.

The Jetta (like the Miata) is definitely a feminine car; I don't think that means it's necessarily a "girls" car.

Yes. I was upset over the truth. The truth that discrimination still exists.
