Be more confident in your masculinity.
Having owned both a Miata and a Boxster, I guess I would naturally bristle at labeling either a "chick car".
No doubt they are chosen by a lot of women who like to drive sports cars, but don't like to wrench on them. But I don't think that justifies denigration. Both are majority male-owned, and are avidly raced.
If you must label a "chick" car, then look to something like a new Beetle, or old Nissan Pulsar or a old V6 Camaro that has a pretension of sportiness, but is all show and no go.
When I had little money, no garage, no tools, and little spare time, it was hard to beat a Miata for an incredibly fun daily driver that wasn't a hobby car. Back then, a 944 was double the price and didn't offer much better performance (in the NA version).
