And they still don't get that all sports are segregated in some way.
I posted another response this morning.

It finally dawned on me that some of them are looking at it as a personal affront. In other words, it's all about THEM. And most of us here look at it as being about US. That is, something special for us. We see it as a positive. The THEMs see it as a negative. Venus and Mars or whatever.

Of course I still think our positive spin is preferable! What's not to love about an event that celebrates and empowers active women? DUH!

I always used to ask my good friend HotRod (whom some of you know), a man that has a tendency to say "insensitive" things: "what GOOD will come out of what you say?" He always conceded that I had a point.

Off to kick some male butt on the ski hill!
