I don't see this as a "man" one. This had a factual basis but with modern technology it is less of an issue. The "joke" or idea here as I read it is - it is a waste of money to have a powerful sports car but then down power it by having an automatic transmission. Again though, tech has improved. There are now what you might call racing or muscle car automatics. But back when most cars were manual and automatic transmissions were just becoming more common, you took a hit on both power and gas mileage by having automatic.

Sorry. But as a woman, I won't buy a sports car without a manual transmission. Just way bother. Takes all the fun and performance out of the experience.
