S long as they are not driving to vote I am fine with it!

(I read that during the woman's suffrage movement many woman were opposed to it. I find it beyond bazaar that one would be against having the right to do something even if they had no interest in it themselves.)

I ask because I've taken several trips up to san francisco alone the last few months. It's a 10-11 hour roundtrip drive and several times people (both genders) have expressed shock that I'd do it alone...seemingly mostly because I'm a woman. I don't understand it! It's nearly 2010 and woman still need company if we want to travel?
