I totally understand why this is bothering you. In my experience, there's a Catch-22 is emphasizing gender differences. I think most of us can concede-that, as women, our perspective sometimes (not always) does differ from a man's. And I think it's important that our differing perspectives are heard. But I bristle when a man necessarily assumes that my perspective differs from his just because I'm a woman or that if there is a difference is perspective, it can be explained away that easily. Those assumptions often come off as patronizing, condescending and reductive. I also bristle at the assumption that any one woman can speak for all women. As this forum highlights, for all our commonality, we're all very different, too. The fact that we share the same gender doesn't negate that. The best we can do as speak from our own perspective.

But, it's just a blog on a cycling club's website. I may be overthinking this....
