Mustangbelle306:

I'm aware that you're no feminist and I think that's obvious to all but the feminist projection of male oppression of women throughout history has become ingrained in the schools - and the culture - and is now usually simply accepted as fact when it's really a half-truth.

I just wanted to make that clear.

I also stand by my theory that men named that which they valued with the pronoun 'she' and continue to do so to this day. Past female subjugation by men has nothing to do with it.

As I said, you gave your answer to the question of why men call their cars 'she' and asked for other answers.
I think that one is as good as any - and maybe better.
