Think what you like of brain patterns, keeping in mind I am a woman and my brain doesnt work like yours does.

Call me stubborn, but I ride my own ride, not the ride everyone else tells me to do.

*also the reason I dont typically tell anyone else how to brake.
A natural reaction has nothing to do with sex. It has all to do with how you have trained your brain to respond and it's natural tendency to do what it has been taught to do. Example: letting off the gas instead of throttle neutral or gasing it out in a slide is a basic noob response under crisis because it hasn't been taught to do that.

We aren't talking emotions here.
