Ahhhh nooooo! I didn't mean here's my pictures. I meant here's my "thumbs up" to Desert Lady. But you liked my pictures, huh.

This just isn't fair. You may as well have asked "Honey, does this outfit make me look fat?" What do you expect the guys to say. It's like shooting pool. Sure, guys like playing pool with girls but some don't like it if the girl wins.

Yeah, some guys like to have a partner that plays in the X .... in the back seat, or as a passenger, or in a bikini laying across the hood.

There is discrimination. No doubt about it. That's just the way it is. For example, the picture in my profile, don't you think some guys would feel a little challeneged if that was a female driver and yet the most extreme picture they have is on a fire road? Or here you are having a conversation about say, an advanced 4wd subject, and then you find out you had been having this discussion with a girl. Yeow!

Some females like to off-road which doesn't make them any less girly girl. Maybe they grew up around a dad and brothers that were into it and it seems natural. Or they like being outdoors but don't want to go by themselves, so they hook up with a club that leans towards the serious side of off-roading. Stay at home and watch TV or go out on the trail with the guys and hope you are accepted? It's a tough call. Sometimes that decision is more challenging than the toughest trail obstacle.

Although times are changing where females are more accepted in traditional male activities. I don't think we are there yet in this field. No one's fault. It's just a matter of time and maybe education before female off-roaders are accepted and not thought of as weird or any less feminine.
