As one lady put it...
"There is a little bit of rocker Suzi Quatro in us all, and 4x4s brought it to the fore. Mothers were as mad as hell and they weren’t going to take it any more.
No one dared patronise us as we roared down on them. Despite our coiffured heads being barely visible over the steering wheel and legs too short to reach the pedals, we had a bumper the size of Texas. There was no need to use the horn — traffic parted like the waves before Moses.
We did not notice cyclists vaulting over their handlebars and the elderly picking up their sticks and running for their lives. When a friend asked if I had crashed my Ford Explorer, I replied: ‘How would I know?’
Women and their children were empowered. We were frightening. We ruled the roads.
Then, suddenly, we came to our senses. We were preposterous and pitiable. One day, I looked out of my bedroom window at the monstrous truck beneath, twice the height of anything else in the street, and felt embarrassed.
My beloved Explorer looked so vulgar and selfish. What statement was I trying to make, apart from ‘Sod you, I will look after my family at the expense of everybody else’s’? My car said: ‘There is no such thing as society.’
At the same time, I started to notice people were treating me differently. Where there was once an amused respect for my Tonka truck fantasies, there was now obvious disdain. Nobody ever let me out at a junction.
Pedestrians at zebra crossings would wrinkle up their faces with dislike. My children, those unforgiving arbiters of fashion, refused to travel in the Explorer.
I sold it in the nick of time and replaced it with a low-lying, diesel-fueled, practically invisible BMW estate. To my husband’s relief, my attention-seeking phase had passed.

Yours is a 'he'
Where we use 'she'
True sign of equality.
Nice one Julie

Perhaps they always call them she because they want to demonstrate that they are driving a superior model!

Re: Women have a much better life than men
I have always felt sorry for men. Some do get a rough deal!First they are spoilt to death by their mothers and this ruins their life. They usually pick a woman who is just like their mother but ironically, the man's mother usually despises the woman who has stolen her precious son off her!!
When the man grows up, he has to go out to work and eventually has to hand over all his hard earned money to the wife/mother cross. Then the wife moans and gives him earache if he doesn't do stuff around the house!
All the man wants is a quiet life, the remote control and be mummied when he's ill !! That's not much to ask...is it?
Yes, l think women have a much better life because 'Women Rule'! God Save The Women And All Who Sail In Her!!

Re: Women have a much better life than men
Many years ago I said to my friends husband that he was lucky not to have to worry about caring for the children or running the home , he replied that because a man had to be alert for his job they couldnt take on these other things as well. Yet we women have to go to work , look after the home & the children & still shop for & prepare meals|
