I'd love to know the "why"

Did you miss the "

Hahahahaha!
Hey wait, I reread my post, I never used the word "argue" or any implication thereof.....
Anyway, it's hard for me to understand how women can be so self destructive and yet the theory remain that they have a great sense of "self-presevation". I know that here or there can be found examples of girls being "allowed" or even encouraged to race at a young age but, and please hear me out, isn't possible that because the cases are so few and far between that the encouragement and resources are being wasted on girls without talent. While the girls with some natural talent are kicked off their brother's XR50s and told to go play with her Barbies?
What if the girl from Trip's example just plain doesn't have any natural abilities? If the same "gifts" would have been given to Rae, who has a lot of talent, when she was young... Look, for every 100,000 little boys who want to race and are encouraged/supported, you might find one Ben Spies. If the ratio of girls to boys in this situation is 1/10,000... well you see what I mean.
