Stupid woman Vent...!

[BentMikey]

I got similar once for calling "You stupid woman". No misogyny intended, but plenty of insult with the stupid. I sometimes call "You stupid man" also.

Hennbell pretty much sums up the intention of my post. It was meant as a vent to like minded people who commute to and from work (hence the post being in the Commuting section)
I know I am a cautious and assertive rider. I wasn't asking for riding tips or guidance; just a means to vent my frustrations. Its a shame when a thread gets completely blown out of proportion for no apparent reason.

you're right the word Woman is unnecessary

Why so? It wasn't a man driving the car. It was a woman. IMHO a stupid woman who had no regard for anyone else but herself. Pretty sure that justifies the use of the word Woman and Stupid. Is that clear enough for you now jonny and Maz?

Stupid woman Vent

One too many words there?

<ducks and runs!>

and relax....
No mysogyny, just saw the title and thought it ripe for a little light hearted trolling
See if it got any bites.
I never did suggest which, if any, word could superfluous?

By all means, turn this into a Woman Vent thread; not sure you would get much approval from the females of the forum though...!

There are some daft women drivers out there, much as there are some daft male drivers out there !

Why would a cat be driving a car?

I wrote "cat caused the issue" not cat was driving i.e. a car runs out in front of you.

 

[hennbell]

Cats can drive!

Fiesta driver, says it all

If a cat caused the issue and he referred to it as "a stupid cat" there would be no issue. The OP is not implying a negative connotation to woman he is just stating a fact , it was a woman who caused the issue.In fact the OP goes as far to state "what is with some people".

If he had gone off with all female motorist are stupid there is an issue.

If the driver was a man, would this be a 'stupid man vent'? Or a 'stupid driver vent'?
I'd bet a quid it would be the latter.

Would you have an issue if someone said "stupid black driver"? Just starting a fact, right?

sure...I dont actually care what sex the driver was...I just think it was a stupid vent... screaming at a driver for slowing on speed bumps and pulling out late...way after the event...hence my reply.

geddit?

What is so difficult to understand? She pulled out on me at a roundabout and took the first exit off (about 6 feet away) and slowed down to an almost stop to maneuver a speed bump. Way after the event is BS.

That's all fair enough and its your choice if you want to vent on people (I have done myself recently...and am discussing it on these very pages) my point was, that I wasn't removing the "women" word as a suggestion that you were being sexist. I just think its daft shouting at drivers as it so often escalates out of proportion and at the end of the day...we all make mistakes.

Its frustrating... frustrating as hell sometimes and it often endangers us...but fortunately you ride well enough to be able to remain safe even when a driver makes a muppet move.

try and let it go.

PS, as a test...5 mins later did you wish you hadn't shouted (I know I've often felt a right tit after an altercation in the street and wished I'd found the strength to somehow rise above it)

Didnt work; oh well.
There was no need for her to stamp on the break at the speed hump, she had just pulled out onto the RDB and took the first exit off. She must have been doing 10mph max at this point!

But she did.As has been said on this thread in not so many words if they are in such a hurry that they pull out regardless I think I would be very wary.

Lovely to see you all getting along so nicely.
