Cars, motoring, motorsports, basically anything automotive – it has always been male-dominated territory. To some people, the association between cars and gals brings race queens to mind.
There are exceptions, of course, such as female racing drivers, female “trackies”, and female petrolheads who can talk about four-inch heels and 18-inch wheels without missing a beat. But these women remain a minority, and men are still the majority in the world of cars.
I’m probably not wrong to assume, the general sentiment is that men know more about cars than women do. The car-crazy guys are able to answer car-related questions confidently and, more often than not, correctly.
