A motorcycle license isn't a male privilege, and many women are riding powerful machines or revving their engines when the light turns green. They no longer stay on the back of the driver's seat, hair blowing in the wind like in romantic comedies, nor are they limited to a pastel-colored Vespa. Content creator @samslod<\/a> is tearing up the asphalt on a large motorcycle and proving misogynistic stereotypes way ahead of the curve.<\/p>\n

Women on motorcycles, held back in their passion<\/h2>\n

When women get behind the wheel<\/a> and settle into the driver's seat, men trot out dusty phrases that could definitely use a refresher. "Woman driver, death at the next turn." "Women drive like tortoises." "They can't maneuver." In short: misogyny<\/a> on autopilot. They're never short of criticism for those who are simply obeying the rules of the road. While female drivers of four-wheeled vehicles are the collateral victims of an outdated patriarchal mentality, female motorcyclists experience it every single day.<\/p>\n

As soon as they take their place behind the handlebars and put on their helmets, men are quick to cry foul and try to infect them with imposter syndrome. No, women are not only destined to admire the scenery and cling to their male partners' waists. Nor are they condemned to the saddle of electric bikes, freely available in cities.<\/p>\n

They also yearn to take hairpin turns on the back of a motorcycle, to feel the adrenaline rush with every acceleration, to go on road trips in full motorcycle gear, and to unleash the full power of their machines. Content creator @samslod<\/a> embodies this new generation of women who aren't afraid of speed and who know the anatomy of a motorcycle better than they do themselves. These women, who turn their heads to admire motorcycle models more often than clothing displays and who seem to speak a coded language made up of Yamaha MT-07s or Suzuki SV650s, respond with images to those who try to outdo them. <\/p>\n
