Well, no sexism intended :-). I'm just trying to get other folks'
perceptions on this; it's sociologically interesting to me.
But you may be right, some of my friends refer to their TR6's as
feminine, but mine just doesn't feel that way. Maybe each car, like
each bulldog, has a masculine or feminine orientation.
I also may be keying in on sound here. I've been a musician most of my
life and aural stimuli mean more to me than visual. But then, just to
add more confusion, a large part of why I feel MGA's are feminine is
the delicacy of their lines as compared with the burliness of the TR6.

Y'all gotta remember not to be so sexist in your thinking. :}
TR6's, despite being (to some) squat, blunt nosed, and wide tracking can
STILL be female. ...Have none of you folks considered the fact that
there are female bulldogs? ...Consider, kind gentlemen, that
perspectives on beauty are different from tribe to tribe, just ask
the male bulldog and most TR owners!
