A Few Days Ago At Work.....
So here's the story. A few days ago, I was at work. (I work at Simon Rec btw). I may or may not have actually been doing any work, but thats besides the point. A male worker and I were watching the Olympics together, Im not sure what the sport was called but they had to lay on their stomachs and like go down this path of snow. Anyways, he was super impressed and was like "Wow, that looks crazy fun but you probably have to be really fit and strong." When one of the racers was finished, they took their helmet off. As soon as that happened, he goes, "Woah! That was a girl" and literally every guy/girl on the treadmills next to us gave him a dirty look. I just thought that was crazy, the way he acted. So i thought I would share it with you:)

ReplyDeleteI think that this is one of the most ridiculous stereotypes that still exist, that women are weak and fragile in comparison to men.
ReplyDeleteWell, I can't say that I'm surprised but it totally emphasizes the need to do more promotion of female athletes based on their physical ability.
