Not name calling, just using the term to point out your idiocy.

If your knowledge was truly all encompassing, you would know that there are
many more female drivers than one. Danielle Patrick just received a huge
amount of notoriety due to her success at the Indy 500. Also, what
occupation can you think of that has a 50-50 split male/female? Is that
your ultimate criteria? Every occupation must be split equally, male and
female?

You are correct, the ability is the same, male or female. I would submit
however that the desire amongst females is not there... not a societal
conspiracy as you would believe, just a natural inclination of little boys
who like to go vroom... vroom.
Neither are the desire, enthusiasm and talent necessary to

Just because they are under represented, doesn't mean that there is a
conspiracy or that society is forcing females to choose certain occupations.
You are truly a dumb*** if you believe this.

Why do attitudes need to change? Just to satisfy your arbitrary desire for
a fifty-fifty split with all occupations? Accept the fact that we are
different! You should be able to see quite plainly that societies attitudes
will not change to your whim, otherwise we would all be strippers!

There is a huge difference between exclusion and underrepresentation. Show
me an example of an individual (names please) who was excluded from an
occupation for which she was well qualified and trained to do.

Which compilations, I might ask? Which men? Even Marilyn Vos Savant who is
acknowledged by society as the world's most intelligent person by virtue of
her stellar IQ acknowledges the biological and psychological differences in
mean and women. If she can, why can you?

OK, what would you call the radical feminists who insist there there is
overt discrimination in our society.... normal?
Jeesh, you are a mindless twit with whom I shan't waste any more time.
