The best way to get back at this woman would surely be some rubbish reviews on Amazon.

bit of info on the girl here; http://chicklit.us/author.htm
She deffinately needs to get out and have a bit of fun; and I don't mean spending all her free time shopping. Which, apparently, was all she did for a large part of her life according to the book she wrote about it

She has an opinion and she voiced it in a way most don't have the opportunity to do. It's not something I agree with but it's also not something I am going to get my knickers in a twist about either

She has an opinion but she's stating it in a derogatory and intentionally inflammatory way; worse still, she's saying it as if she speaks for all women.

But she has brandished her opinion on all men rather than just her ex-husband, bookworm boyfriend, dad, and a Hamster with concussion.
How nieve can a "journalist" be if one uses four people to seriously base their perpective of the entire middle aged male population. And then assumes that her viewpoint is echoed by every woman on the planet?
It's like me saying that a women belongs in the kitchen and can't drive. I jest it as a joke, because it annoys them. She is not, which is rather sad.

Didn't the Titanic crash into her all those years ago
This lass is seriously dillusional!!! Granted many women take a very dim view of male persuits and machoism. Cars, football, downing a pint in 5 seconds, getting your todger out, etc - they just don't get it. But that's why we have men and women and that why they are different and generally stimulated by different things. Women confuse me to the extreme at times with the pointless and pathetic things they do but I love them all the more for it. In a good relationship you will go out of your way to accomodate your partners interests even when you don't understand the appeal and India obviously doesn't get that.
In my opinion she wrote this the morning after some bloke had been telling her that she was beautiful and that he was looking for a meaningful relationship when in reality he 'pretended' to miss, popped it up her poop chut and then was seen high-fiving his mates an hour later in the pub. She has an axe to grind and that is probably driven by her personal insecurities and experiences - that, IMHO is sadder than a few balding hero's out in their performance cars

It doesn't "bother" me other than it's written in some sort of 1970s feminist style - i thought we'd got past all that. Blokes like fast cars, it's a fact of life, not a statement of inadequacy or whatever else she tries to pin it on. Sensationalist journalism.

That makes much more sense to me than some meaningless rant

She's clearly a silly cow but, she's not entirely wide of the mark with this....
I find her article offensively sexist - I'm a woman and I love watching Top Gear (is it really suspended...? 
).
....a transparent exercise to allow defeated, paunchy, balding blokes everywhere feel like they’re James Bond for an hour just by watching it.
).

Everybody needs a bit of escapism now and again - to me, Top Gear is just an extension of going to see a feel-good movie at the cinema.
Men, as far as i know, don't get on their high horses to quite the same extent when women dissolve into floods of tears at a weepie film, it's just what makes us different, FFS. And long may that continue.
