Post It Anyway: Blocking Out the Noise and Owning Your Presence Online

Let’s Set the Scene

You’re scrolling through your feed. A girl pops up grinning next to her ride, showing off her build, rocking her style. Whether it’s a fresh set of wheels or a fire selfie from the trail, she’s proud of what she’s put together.

She posts it.

And then...here come the comments.

Sometimes it’s hype. Sometimes it’s supportive. But sometimes, it’s a dude who just can’t help himself; condescending, creepy, or straight-up rude.

Not because she did anything wrong.
But because she dared to be visible.

The Double Standard Is Exhausting

For women in male-dominated spaces like off-road, motorsports, and automotive culture, this kind of reaction is way too common.

The second a girl posts herself and her rig, she’s open to unsolicited judgment, like her skills or passion are somehow invalidated by her appearance or confidence.

This isn’t new.
It’s just louder now, thanks to comment sections and DMs full of people who think hiding behind a screen gives them permission to tear others down.

Spoiler alert:
It doesn’t.

**Not All Men, But Let’s Talk About Those Men**

Let’s be clear:
Not all men are like this.
Plenty of guys in this space are encouraging, respectful, and genuinely stoked to see women building, racing, wrenching, and posting.

We see you. We appreciate you.

But this isn’t about the ones who get it.
It’s about the keyboard warriors who don’t.

The ones who act like they’ve got something to prove by tearing down a girl who’s just… proud of her truck. Or passionate about her build. Or, heaven forbid, likes how she looks.

Their negativity isn’t about the post, it’s about control, insecurity, and fear of being outshined by someone they didn’t expect to be competition.

Society Told Women to Be Perfect, We’re Over It

Women are constantly fed the idea that to be taken seriously, we have to be perfect:

Be likable, but not too bold
Be pretty, but not try too hard
Be confident, but not arrogant
Be passionate, but not obsessed

Let’s be real it’s exhausting.

Here’s your permission to drop all of that.

You’re allowed to be loud.
To be proud.
To be messy.
To be extra.

Post thirst traps and suspension installs in the same carousel.
You don’t need to be perfect to show up. You just need to be you.

What Should You Post?

Whatever makes you feel good.

Your ride.
Your outfit.
Your face.
Your process.
Your proudest moments and your learning curves.

Whether it’s a trail flex, a coffee stop, or a mirror selfie before wrenching in the garage if it brings you joy or tells your story, it belongs on your feed.

This is your digital garage.
Build it how you want.

How to Handle the Hate

Let’s be honest: the trolls will always be out there. Here’s how to deal when they show up:

Ignore + Delete

The block button is your bestie. Don’t argue. Don’t explain. Protect your peace and move on.

Clap Back (If You Feel Like It)

Sometimes a little sass goes a long way:

“Imagine being this upset over a woman enjoying her life.”
“Still posting. Still wrenching. Still winning.”
“Your comment says more about you than it ever will about me.”

Let them know they didn’t shake your confidence—because they didn’t.

Call It Out

If you’ve got the energy, speak up. Shine a light on the behavior.
The more we call it out, the less normal it becomes.

Build a Crew That Rides With You

The best part of social media? You’re not in it alone.

Hype your girls.
Tag your friends.
Leave comments that feel like hugs or high-fives.

Be the reason someone keeps posting.
Build your pit crew with people who get it.

Final Thoughts: Post. It. Anyway.

Every time you post yourself doing what you love, you challenge the idea that women should only exist online in curated, quiet boxes.

You break the mold.
You set a new tone.
You give someone else the courage to post their joy, too.

So yeah, post it anyway.

Post your ride.
Post your face.
Post your favorite angles and real moments.

Post it proud. Post it loud.

Because when you show up fully, unapologetically, and confidently, you don’t just change the algorithm.
You change the game.

And to anyone who’s got a problem with that?

Let. Them. Scroll.
