From a "woman's persepctive" . . .

[Antaresia]

I never knew I was a second-class citizen in the cycling world until I started reading this forum. Granted, I don't cycle with groups, so there's a lot I don't know.

it isn't just limited to the cycling world, it's everything. Just the other day I was looking at the hairy legs on the biker dude in front of me, and wistfully wondered what it would be like to live in a world where I wasn't expected to shave my legs & be pretty every day. I just get so tired of it sometimes, you know? What it would be like to get up, and just not give a ****, not wear make up or shave or do my hair and still be taken as seriously. Sigh.
(I do have a few friends who don't shave, and I've heard comments about them behind their backs and the comments they tell me people say to their face. Ugh, I am not that brave)

We are all very different. You can write from a woman's perspective, because you are one. But you can't write for all women, I wonder if that's what they expect? If I was feeling trollish, I'd just write a normal article as myself, and send it in a pink font.
