    Thank you for clearing that up. I blame my underdeveloped comprehension skills for not being able to glean that self-evident truth from your earlier post.

    However, may I just mention in passing that a lot of members of your gender, albeit of an earlier generation (or lower IQ quotient) will not share in your very understanding and intelligent mentality?
    Easy on that one there lass
    Some of us ""older"" men have learnt just to sit back and shut up.
    We know the argument in the end will be one sided.

    LOL - you and me both - that explains the dramatic increase in junk/takeaway food places.

    As a (slightly pedantic) aside, this thread should be called "excluding based on gender".

    I have a completely different definition of sex.

    Easy right back at you sir!

    With all due respect, not all women are domineering harpies with delusions of superiority towards men. And considering we have never met, I find such an assumption rather interesting, but anyhoo...

    I find it quite sad that any men should feel himself obligated to "sit back and shut up".

    This point of mine which you quoted was merely my opinion, which I very gladly welcomed challenges on. Please bear in mind that I have never said I was exclusively for "women only track days", only that I didn't think the argument was laid at the correct door:

    Women only track days are mostly due in my mind to two things:

    1- Women being more easily nervous in situations such as the ones with higher danger capacity than men normally would be.

    2- some men, generally of a younger generation, prooving themselves more of a nuisance and dangerous when left loose in mixed gender track days, making the more nervy types of females regret being in there in the first place.

    How fair is it that women with this particular learning "shyness" should have to be scared and maybe even put off entirely from track days?

    Too many times have I seen conversations of this type degenerating towards an unhealthy argument for both genders.

    I do not believe that women only track days mean to deprive men from a track day, but more to allow a safer, slower and more reassuring environment for women to learn in...this hopefully resulting in more women becoming riders and / or pillions.

    No, but most of the men that have married this type have learned there is one way to survive...
    Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?

    Who cares. If a bunch of woman want to organise a trackday for themselves that's just fine by me.

    I'm just not sure where the sex bit comes into the equation. Any way I apparently ride a girl's bike so I should be good to go.

    I'm sorry to hear this. I know for a fact it exists, but really cannot understand why it should be.

    Anyway...After having a very good and smart friend of mine point something out to me, I wish to extend apologies to the general "older generation" members who might have taken offence to my earlier comment on "earlier generation".

    I actually meant "younger generation", but I guess my french brain got a bit tangled and I cocked it up I do try to have as good a handle on the english language as possible, but I guess sometimes it doesn't quite work out as best as one could hope for.

    So, Mr Subike...I'm sorry. I didn't mean to imply that older generation members were giving girls a hard time.

    It's called 'spousal abuse'...for men it's being pussy-whipped, and for women it's (usually) being a punchbag. Sad.

    One would have thought that the excitement generated by a track day would have released enough testosterone to last for a bit and help this issue without the Viagra...

    or at least that is why i want to join in.
    ha ha you have obviously never been on a ride with me and my mates then!


    kidding! couldn't resist that.

    My opinion for what its worth is that I do not feel in any way threatened by guys, I have ridden with guys all my life... no biggie.

    If I go on a 'chicks only ride' its cos its a novelty, thats all!
