You are the one out of touch.

She improved her best over 10 kilometers (6.2 miles) to about 36½ minutes and clocked 1 hour, 22 minutes, 1 second at the New Balance Half Marathon in March

First off, this was a half marathon.

Second, she has obviously been training hard, and well to reach those times at the amateur level.

It’s terrible that this happened, and it’s shameful that you are on here trying to claim this is the natural result of running.

    Teaching our sons to not sexually harass, assault or demean women is not our education system’s job. It’s ours. All parents, and siblings and extended family members as well.

    We teach our children in how we behave and what we accept without comment in our media, or in the world at large. It may be obvious to us when a guy harassing women on tv is the bad guy, but maybe the kids aren’t figuring that part out.

    It needs to be called out explicitly so they grow up calling it out in their friends, rather than going along to get along.

    Thos are all great points. And getting to that level of organization takes time.

    That level of organization was starting in Minnesota over the ICE extrajudicial killings, and they (the tyrants) flinched. They pulled out of MN and turned down the violence everywhere (slightly) to let things cool off. Like frogs in water. But they never stopped.

    People need to be that upset over everything going on in the US. And working towards collective resistance

    Not yet, not yet, not yet.

    This is what they sre hoping for and expecting from the population as they take away more and more of your rights. Working to cow the population into submission.

    Showing up in numbers to an armed, but peaceful protest is what is needed when they are at the point of arresting people for voicing non hateful opinions .

    We’ve already reached the point where secret police ripping people off the streets is normalized.

    How much further should you let them get?

    You are making a huge mistake thinking that pro trans politicians are losing. Dems lost in 2024 without ever voicing a position on trans rights specifically.

    MAGA talked about it so much, that the dems left it alone and we saw what happened. After that, in by-elections plenty dems who took a strong stance came out ahead.

    Also, fuck you for responding to someone talking about their rights being taken away with a ‘Lol’ response.
