Does woman have problem driving a manual car?



I have taken around 20 driving lessons in total and I still have problems controlling my clutch. I have written down all my mistakes and they are about 2 A4 pages long! I think my instructor is going mad. I step on the accelerator too hard during startup and release the clutch too fast. Or I forget to gear down during turns. I panic when I reach places where I have to stop and turn right or left or U-turn because starting up from gear 1 is simply tortuous. I was horned at several times for starting up too slowly. And I think I have parallex error: I can't see if my car is straight after parallel parking. I can't seem to tell when I should pull up the handbrake. To my instructor's horror, I actually failed to fully release the handbrake a few times when I make my turns.

I really hope pratice makes perfect and I have another 2 months to go before my driving test.
