This particular woman has raced for 11 years with 248 official races but only 1 top 10 finish in 11 years.
I don't watch Nascar but I used to about 15+ years ago. To race these cars requires a lot of upper body strength which naturally is much harder for women to get compared to men.
People that want women like this one to be allowed to race in the big races in Nascar is opening up the possibility of her dying in a crash during one of the races.
This is yet another example of the DS pulling strings within society to urge some to encourage these types of things.
The DS wants those of us that would rather not see a woman die in a crash or make herself look stupid trying to equally compete against men in this particular sport, to clash against each other in disagreement.
You know the old tired ass sayings, racist, sexist, etc. The DS has been involved in so many things for such a long time. They do things slowly, gradually, so that most people don't notice.
Women's soccer wants equal pay but they don't pull in equal revenue so if they got equal pay then it wouldn't be long before they were unemployed and the soccer league gone completely but they want people fighting over things like this.
Why would you take a stand against the woman's right to choose to risk her life in a race car? Are you imposing your "I know better" attitude on her? Isn't that a bit hypocritical coming from a community that decries "elites" imposing their "values" on others? We need to be consistent in our arguments and applications. I agree wholeheartedly with your comment about women's soccer. But how are these related? the female race car driver is a market decision just as the soccer example. If she can pull sponsors, she can afford to race. That's the market value that you point to with women's soccer. Let nature and unfettered markets drive decisions.
Agree 100%. My take is that OP is pointing out the larger problem of the current culture push to encourage women to desire to be like men in every possible way. Which is stupid and has many harmful effects.
There are things men are built for and women are not. There are things women are built for and men are not. Yes we can sit back and let women try to compete physically with men, knowing it won't work out but that hurts women not men. It can cause more division. Society needs to get back to understanding that men and women play equal roles in life but each sex has its strengths and weaknesses.
