Since we don't fuss about male drivers not being masculine when they fail to meet some definition of megamacho... it's a bit sexist to consider Danica's feminity when arguing her track manners. She's just unlikeable. As are a lot of drivers. But until those other drivers have to answer for their masculinity or lack-thereof... Danica shouldn't have to answer for any degree of feminity.
How many men exit their race cars and begin asking themselves, "Am I meeting the viewing public's criteria for masculine?", "Will I be embracing my gender if I respond negatively to what happened on the track?" Yeah, right.
If femininity is a role you play rather than your core self, then you are not genuinely feminine.
It always amazes me that women are so quick to cast aspersions on the male ego, but never are willing to examine or want exposed the female ego. That is sexist.

Men don't have the same inner dichotomy that "feminist" women do, unless they are gay. They are men and they accept that they are men and get on with it. They don't have to think about playing a role. Feminist women have bought into the idea that femininity is a sign of weakness, and that is why you see so many acting like men. It's an over compensation. I'm not saying all women. I'm referring to women who have rejected the feminine side of themselves. Danika is a perfect example. It is reflected in her attitude and demeanor. Even when she is all fancied up in makeup and women's clothes, she still comes across as manly.

Danika is a pioneer and seems to have her struggles developing a racing personna in a very macho industry. And it isn't helping that she's getting excessive attention due to her differences. But her willingness to do hot photo spreads suggests that she's not afraid to flaunt and capitalize on her differences.

Too bad she can't drive better. Unlike Danica, I'd bet there are a number of folks on RL that could out drive Milka. (myself most likely not included)
