Manual transmission is the best theft deterrent these days.

For sure.

Yes, those manual transmissions are kinda alien to youngsters nowadays!

And most women of any age.

I learned at 17 on a 1959 VW bus 4 spd. manual and progressed some 10 years later to learn how to drive a 5&4 in a Peterbilt. Automatics became an optional luxury. Sticks have always been my choice.

I prefer a manual shift as well.

Gross generalisation warning!! 

My mum and mother in-law both drive manuals full time. My wife knows how to drive a manual and is quite competent. Before we met she only drove auto. 

My sister drives a manual, my cousin ten years younger than me drives a manual. 

Generally females will go an auto over a manual, but that doesn’t mean they don’t know how to drive a manual/stick shift.

I said "most". I see you're speaking from an Australian point of view, and I don't know ~any~ female in the U.S. who drives a manual shift. Not that I know thousands of females but I know a considerable amount. Other than vintage car fanciers most females, even males, under the age of 45 have never encountered a manual shift.
