association-of-free-people:indyart:dieselpunkisdad:in-all-conscience:I mean, it’s not like they were competing against men.Sara Kolak won women’s javelin throw in Rio with 66.18 meters. Gold distance for men’s was 90.30 meters (Thomas Röhler). The 12th contender in men’s javelin still threw 79.12 meters. The 12th men’s athlete beat the 1st woman by almost 13 meters. For a man, throwing like a girl means you are not even on the table. And that is not a problem. It doesn’t mean women are somehow inferior. It means that Colbert feeds you one-liners that sound snarky, true and wise but are fundamentally misinformed and deliberately misleading.There is physical differences between men and women. If this isn’t a metric in which to gauge performance than I don’t know what is. It’s a very strange delusion some cling to and in the future it will historically date the period we live in. When you read some oddity, some strange cultural belief in a history of antiquity, remember contemporary shenanigans like this that permeate our culture. -- source link
