...recreationally offended...

Pole position has a completely different meaning over at Jezebel. I think it’s time auto racing should switch the phrase to something else before someone gets recreationally offended and demands social justice.

Yeah, jalopnik has been getting way too political lately. And this author of this article is what is wing with women in racing. Why is it this Elizabeth's job to speak for this racer? Has she even asked her about the event? Nice way to put everyone in the same gender as you in the same box.

I did read your work, and my post was not a reaction to Elizabeth calling out signing of body parts on a 17 year old girl. It is a more holistic reaction that about 70% of what she writes about is women, which is great, but it ends up being the same story, over and over again. It gets dull. In the end, I am here to…

Isn’t implying that she couldn’t speak for herself an issue in itself? She did not seem to have an issue with it based on the video and it’s pretty insulting for a writer to tell Hailie how she should have felt in that situation.

Hey, it’s another creep ok with adult women having sex with 14 year old boys. Or is it an adult woman that does have sex with 14 year old boys?  

Speaking of which, the word ‘creep’ is only ever really applied to men as well. I wonder why that is?

Did you just say that pedophilia should be accepted because it used to be and pedo’s are oppressed? You’re a fucking sicko and it should never be ok.  I hope the authorities find you before you ruin anyone else’s life.

No, we intentionally got a Jezebel writer on Jalopnik. Notice how since Steph left there are fewer articles about cars, racing, stuff that goes, that sort of thing, and more articles about women, and women, and some women stuff? That would be how this site is heading. Sad. I used to like it.

Wait.

>Men are horny and feel the need to procreate

I have no idea who this woman is, and I also have no idea the ages of most of the athletes I am fans of.

Because it’s not about two wrongs making a right, it’s about whether or not we’ve got a double standard in place that depends on what kind of equipment you’re lugging around. It’s the same thing that happens when female teachers sleep with their male students: You get a chorus of guys exchanging high fives and wishing…

Did we accidentally get a Jezebel article on Jalopnik?

Haven’t you heard?

Is our big problem with it that she’s a woman, or that she’s seventeen? Let’s flip it around a sec and see. If a seventeen year old male racer was asked by an older woman to sign her chest, or tramp stamp area, would we be ok with that? I can’t help but feel there would be far less protest about that, right or wrong.

Due to the fact that

Sounds like gm needs to study their competition a little closer. Plus build better airbags

I get lighter and faster - although lightness and speed aren’t exactly the main focus when buying a truck. A shorter truck is easier to park than a longer truck. MPG is unchanged. Aesthetics are subjective from you to I.

Single cab short bed is the least practical combination ever. No space in the cab, less space in the bed, a lower tow rating, and basically no improvement in MPGs.
