Boda Etiquette 101

The boda driver yelled at me yesterday because I, and I quote, "you refuse to sit like a man." He claimed I would fall off if I didn't switch the way I was sitting, which was side-saddle. Plenty of local women sit sideways and don't fall off. Why should I be any different? Anyway, to prove him wrong I did not fall off. So there - the only time I have been asked to sit like a man and have refused. My mother would be proud.
