 Posted: 19:56 - 13 May 2016 Post subject: Ladies thread? |
 |
|
Is there already a thread on here for women to chat about stuff that won’t interest the guys?
Such as, are fat mums on 125s welcome at biker cafes?
If we ride in an underwire bra and come off – do we end up impaled?
Is there any foundation that survives helmet cheek pads?
Did anyone else do their CBT with spare tampons in their pocket – only to find that after 4hrs on the saddle they’d moulded into bananas over the hip Kevlar, making cobbles and speed humps majorly uncomfortable?!
Is there anything I should be worrying about that I haven’t thought of yet?
Biker chicks – please impart your wisdom!  |

Judging by years on here, I would estimate your target audience is around 20 active users. (not counting the ones who never drop hints casually, but I figure theyre happy to be one of the Anons)
Good luck.  ____________________ The above post is most likely nonsensical.

There's a case to be made for a new sub-forum to keep The Patriarchy out.

Wouldn't it be better to join mumsnet and ask them to start a bikers forum...?
One of our more outspoken women referred to a female pedesrian as a "mad cunt" recently. Hows that sit with the sisterhood? ____________________ Currently enjoying products from Ford, Mazda and Yamaha

That is gold!
To the OP....
The mumsnet thread above, in which they bitch about sexism and misogyny on biker forums, points to this: Curvy Riders MCC, a female-only motorcycle club and forum. Because wooo fuck the patriarchy and fuck gender stereotypes, we're curvy riders, with curves, because that's what being a woman is all about!
/rant
In seriousness, one of the main issues I've seen women bring up on here is that they think they're too short, or even too weak, to handle a big bike. As long as you can get your feet comfortably on the ground, I think anyone can handle any bike. It's just about balance  |

No, and there is a reason for that.
(reason being neither the guys nor the women tend to respect boundaries round here )

Solution: don't wear foundation

Oh hey, that's the thread that got me banned from mumsnet
I wonder what I said that was so inflammatory...

Would it be likely to be a person who seems to aways have the relevant links to hand though?  |
