What I find odd about this discussion is that it appears, as far as I can tell, that none of the women on this list has a significant other who could even cause problems.
So what does this mean?
Women who are into vanagons don't want to be bothered with SOs at all? That certainly seems to be case for the women I know who are fulltiming - though of course some do have feline and canine SOs, but they are much less trouble.
Are there any women out there on this list who are the primary owners of their vans, and who have partners?
