    It’s not sexist to think it looks like a car for people who want a cute, little compact car that lets everyone know they have scratch. That’s just what it looks like.

    “Missy mcmansion” could easily be a young man who wants those things in a car. He will likely embrace the term because he doesn’t think women and their associated descriptors are inherently “less than”. This looks looks like a car for a cute purse, a blowout, and a manicure.

    I didn’t use “missy” to denigrate. I used it as marker for lifestyle choices regardless of sex or gender. You certainly picked up on my dripping distaste, but it’s because I think the car looks silly, just like the SUV, and neither fit my lifestyle choices. When I think the big matcho SUV is dumb, am I being sexist?

    If it makes you feel any better, I always loved the Miata, because it looks like she’s got skin under her nails, cute but not to be played with lightly, and that fits my aesthetic just fine.

    Edit: lol, you’re mad because I said “bottom energy” and you thought “woman energy” and had to put your misogynistic thoughts on me to make yourself feel better after I explained it 😝
