Guys, be honest: Why do some of you lose your minds the second you get overtaken by a Girl?

I need an honest answer from the guys in this sub, because I genuinely don’t get the psychology behind it.

I recently jumped into X30 racing and picked it up super fast. My background is in motocross, where there’s a massive amount of mutual respect because nobody wants a broken neck. We raced hard, but clean.
But since switching to X30, it’s a whole different story.

Because I’m fast, I constantly get targeted on the track. I’ve been chopped, shoved, and literally rammed off the track by guys who seem to completely lose their minds the second a girl overtakes them.
We’re talking high-speed karts here. It’s dangerous.

Honestly, it sucks. I am so sad that I never get to actually show my true potential, because almost every single race gets ruined by this. On top of that, it's getting incredibly expensive because my kart gets damaged every single weekend just because someone couldn't handle their own ego.

So, what is it? Is the ego really that fragile? Why does getting beaten by a female driver turn clean racing into a demolition derby for some of you? I just want to understand why guys frustration has to ruin my races, destroy my equipment, and make the track unsafe for me.
