I don't care much about auto racing, but this weekend's Indy 500 has brought up some interesting gender discussions. If Danica gets angry for being pushed into the wall and confronts a male driver, she should be treated just like any other driver, right? It has nothing to do with gender. If she wants equal treatment, she should expect that if she pushes a competitor, he can push back. Just a thought.Monday, May 26, 2008

What if she broke a nail?? Seriously, with this I agree, you are a racer and no one should be given special treatment based on gender.
Every chick in the world says the same thing you just posted. Of course, as soon as possible they play the sexist card.
That may be but should apply to all. I got screwed by this before and I know I was better qualified. I actually know a lot of women who do not play that card. Of course Brownie plays his "but I'm gay" card as much as he can.
Every chick in the world doesn't say what I just posted. I know a lot of women who believe that men should treat women with a different level of respect, especially physical respect. And this is an unusual situation. It is a male sport that she is competing in and if she gets just as mad as a guy would in this situation, it is a controversy just because she is female. It is more of an indication of what is acceptable in this particular sport. Fighting and bumping in NASCAR is pretty much accepted but I guess in Formula 1, what the guy did to her was not a normal action.
The big controversy here is why you're calling car racing a sport. Driving a car is one of the more non-athletic things a person can do. But I've seen her in FHM, I sure wish she'd take up beach volleyball!
True...I really don't get the whole round and around a track thingy! Beach volleyball is way hotter!
1. It is Indycar racing, not Formula One.
2. The controversy began when she said, in so many words, that it would probably be best that she weren't allowed to go find the guy that crashed into her. (Implying that she would have caused great physical harm to his person).
3. IMO, she should be able to try and kick his ass as long as he could hit her back. She's a tough little cookie. But she is small, and would probably get hurt. I like how tough she can be, but that stomping on the track stuff last season was retarded. Reminded me of the crazy daughter in "Wedding Crashers."
4. Donnie The Retard eats rabbit feces in his cereal. True story.
Fuck that, a chick hits me, she's going to be the best cock sucker in the world, when she loses her front teeth. Equality, right? :) They should have let her go at him, they apparently stopped her and took her to her pits.
and yes, Donnie the Retard DOES eat rabbit feces in his cereal!
