No reason the woman can't drive it.  Have done so numerous times.  I remember 
many years ago driving the International TD9 (bulldozer), disking the hay 
field while my husband drove the farm tractor, seeding.  Our then 10 year old 
daughter drove the pickup to supply her dad with the oat seed wherever he was 
in the field when he needed it.  That same daughter is grown up now and is 
one of the best horseshoers I've ever seen.  We all realize this is a game, 
just to get women riled up in defense of their capabilities (other than doing 
the laundry and scrubbing the floors).  We don't really take you very 
seriously.
