One analogy that might work is the difference between biking and driving drunk. At least here in Holland biking drunk is either not illegal, or tolerated within reasonable limits. Driving drunk, however, is outright illegal.
In general, I'd say men are more like cars and women more like bikes. Whether nature or nurture, in my experience men are clearly more aggressive, and clearly stronger.
They also seem to be more inclined to have and pursue a single obsessive goal (and perhaps especially when that goal is intercourse). But I'd say that's less clear and perhaps untrue.

- mercer 9y agoI'm not sure what point you're trying to make...?

- Veen 9y ago"Bike" is a disparaging term used for what is perceived as an overly promiscuous woman (i.e. a "slut") in the UK at least. Your analogy doesn't convey quite what you hope to some English speakers.
- mercer 9y agoHa, fair point. It actually has similar connotations in Dutch. Yet in hindsight I still feel the analogy is strong enough that I'd still make it. (In Dutch there's the saying that "you have to learn it on an old bike", where 'it' is sex and an old bike is an older woman)
