You’re supporting a clear case of increasing the gender paygap (these women were paid well to be grid girls) in favor of unpaid child labor. Seems like a pretty obvious downside to me.

I just want to say congrats to anyone who is openly supporting increasing the gender pay gap in favor of unpaid child labor! Win-win for everyone!

Michele Mouton was an incredible race driver that achieved many great things. But she hasn’t raced competitively in 31 years. She’s not what I’m talking about. Pippa Mann is a more current driver that legitimately earned every seat she got. We’ve only seen a handful of examples, but when we have seen them, their…

VR technology has been in the “early stages” for THREE DECADES.

VR will grow when you can get an HTC Vive quality of experience for less than $200, computing included and not a minute before. (i.e. don’t hold your breath)

Apparently it does if you’re a reporter.

Because hey, when you no longer have an argument, insults are always a good substitute!

it’s amazing how you think comments from anonymous sources on the internet is gatekeeping women out of auto racing.

I do get what you’re saying. that’s a perfectly logical and reasonable argument.

I am a firm believer in personal choice, and equal opportunity. I don’t necessarily believe that considering racing a “man’s thing” a psychological paradigm that automatically needs changing. There’s nothing inherently wrong with far more…

I mean, I’m not a biologist, but something tells me there’s more difference than BMI and bone/muscle density, like hormone levels, reaction times etc.

I think you’re oversimplifying it.

I just think about sport in general. At the top tiers, at almost every single sport, men outperform women. If the Olympics removed…

Little made up anecdote quit because it was completely fictional and nonsensical.

I never said there’s no talent to be had. I never said there was literal doormen. Stop arguing against strawmen.

If you aren’t seeing the talent because it’s never given a chance to develop, explain all of the women drivers who have been…

I recommend trying rational arguments next time.

It’s not a feedback loop if there’s multiple examples of how it isn’t a feedback loop that you’re ignoring because...

duh! sexism!

You’re contradicting yourself. You acknowledge that humans have a dimorphism, but then immediately ignore it in assuming that because Simona and Alonso are the same height and weight they should be in the same shape, or if she trained hard enough, Simona could match Alonso’s performance.

This is demonstrably false.

Let…

I’m not trying to prove anything. You’re the one claiming that women aren’t competing because they are told they cannot. Yet you can’t name one woman who showed talent but gave up the sport because they couldn’t handle the apparent abuse.

P.S. Where were all those gatekeepers when Susie Wolff, Sarah Fisher,…

Hold on. So women aren’t competing in motor sport because it’s male dominated, which is discouraging women from competing in motor sport, meaning the sport is male dominated, which discourages women from competing...

This is called “circular reasoning”.

Women still occupy very little real estate in the sport. Teams…

At least I have one example. Care to name a woman that would likely be competing in the top tiers of auto racing today, but isn’t because of sexism they’ve experienced?

- I can’t find anything to support that Reuter’s statement, but I’ll take it. My own anecdotes don’t support that, but hey, that’s why they’re called anecdotes and not statistics.

- How can you say that skill/endurance/strength play little impact in racing? Aren’t you assuming that physical appearance is directly…

“She would have been a 7 time Formula One world champion, but at age 8, Timmy told her that ‘girls can’t drive’! How could she possibly have overcome that?! She never got in a go kart again”

Do you think Lewis Hamiton was told that black people can’t be F1 drivers at some point throughout his efforts to be called one…

It’s a male-dominated industry, therefore women are kept out of it or held back against their will? If women are being held back, give me an example.

Who are these women getting seat after seat? Carmen Jorda, Susie Wolff, Giovanna Amati, Sarah Fisher, Katherine Legge, Milka Duno, Simona de Silvestro, Maria de Votta. So…
