And I do cheer for them when against all odds they manage to win! And the men's sprint finishes always seem a bit more exciting.

Didn't like racing with them though. It goes against my grain, as in I treat them the same way as in life.( I am old fashion in a gentlemanly way) I could never ride aggressively against them, and would feel rely bad if one came to grief through josling for position.
It attitudes like this that annoy me and it annoys most of the women out there as well, trust me, I've asked enough people to know.
Its not being old fashioned in a gentlemanly way its actually being chauvinistic when you think that you have superiority because of your gender, group or kind.
You could never ride aggresively against them because your afraid of failure, your afraid of being beaten by a women who in all seriousness should have half the strength of a male and she should 'need' you, oh please... grow up and welcome to the future, women are on par with men.
Old fashioned in a gentlemanly way... LMAO

Ever get your butt kicked? Like I'm a big big way?
And thanks I'm young impressionable and apparently cause I haven't had a male role model I'm a loose cannon... That and I was reading G. Greer at 10...

Yes I do follow women's cycling.As a matter of fact just finished a photo shoot with a very well known team that has produced national champions doing their promo/team shots..Also photograph them racing..At least they are down to earth girls and don't sit their sprouting off about how superior they think they are.
I notice alot of the photogs at races don't really shoot the women's races..I'm different in that regard and shoot them as my priority![]()
P.S I actually get coached/advice by one of the team

Nice. A friend of mine has the 300/2.8 and is lusting after the 400/2.8. But primes are not as convenient for sport.
