Why do you think it's sexist? I don't find it sexist or offensive... just a section for female members. Hey, c'mon, we deserve this... we're a minority : )
It doesn't bother me either way. I guess I don't have issues. I'm kinda hoping that this section fills up with female car enthusiasts. I have been a car freak my whole life and I'm just glad to see more and more people enjoying cars. I have a blast discussing cars. Enjoy the ride.
The purpose of a women's section isn't to separate us but to help and support other women with their cars. It's a way to meet women car enthusiasts because we are definitely a minority in this hobby. Also, I know it is a little intimidating for some women who are just getting into cars to post on the technical sections so myself and Sarah, the other mod, and the other women I have seen posting on here can help them with questions they might be afraid to ask. We're just trying to encourage more women to get into this addiction ... I mean hobby .

I thought some of the girlygirlracing.com member cars are pretty ricey. My car is almost stock appearing and I'll probably only add some J-Spec taillights to update the look of my '91 a bit.
I've surfed around their site but decided I'd stick with the boys in Club Z. I'm comfortable around the guys. I guess the more I got into cars the less feminine I became, haha.
In a way it can be considered sexist, but sometimes it's important to make some exceptions for minorities until they become comfortable and more assimilated into the community. As long as the guys respect the girls, I don't see any reason why women can't participate and become comfortable all over the forum. But it seems like there's always at least one "Where's all my beotches" type to mess things up for guykind. Nothing like using the internet for a little anonymity if women feel they need it, too. Hmm... Middy, pretty androgynous name, eh?
Girlie Girl Racing is not as helpful now. This is mainly because the forums shut down due to post whores. I found a lot of the forum members to be "prissy" I guess you could say. Also, there was only two or three Nissan owners on the boards. This forum, I hope, will not be like that.
Alsooooooo, that damn bright PINK background was not cool.

couldn't have said it better myself!! definitely an addiction!! i am comfortable in the www.b15sentra.net boards only b/c i went to a few meets and hung out with some of the guys b4 i got my nissan, so i am comfortable there b/c i know them. my sensi says that the cool thing about women is their egos, or lack there of, so yes, even if i performed a mod myself, i still would find it intimidating to post on the technical sections. needless to say, this forum is much appreciated!!
Awesome, I'm glad you feel that way. Of course, post wherever you want but there's so few females into cars, I love seeing more and more becoming addicted as well.

i think the whole point of the forum is so women have a place to gather and talk. guys have the whole rest of the forum which is like 99% so aren't we being the ones who are sexist. and you may argue that they can post in the rest of the forum. but tada here you are posting in the women's section
jk.
