Why Belittle The Men In Such A Way?

[anotheoldgit]

Truly amazing and all credit due to her, 'BUT' why the need to belittle the men in such a way, it would have never been reported in such a way if it had been a man.

Could you imagine the headline 'Action Man' puts female competitors to shame in gruelling Special Forces training?

/// She is the UK’s fastest female obstacle racer – a pursuit that involves crawling under barbed wire, wading through freezing water and scaling eight-foot walls over a 20-mile course – and earlier this year came fourth in a field of 6,000, with only three men ahead of her. Swimming is her “weakest” discipline yet she can swim 400 metres in seven minutes. ///

Seems she was 'belittled' by three men this time.

Thank you Jim, apologies to all for forgetting to add the link.

You say it is truly amazing, is that because she come fourth or because she did well considering she is a woman?
