Why don't more ladies post here? Are they intimidated by the faster males?

Lots of ladies post here, nearly 40%, but most of them don't announce their gender.

Most of those who identify as women on Letsrun are actually transgender.

Why would they? This site is for discussing competitive athletics, not sharing slow cooker recipes, wedding decorations, housekeeping tips, chocolate desserts, upcoming fashion trends...

Yes, they have better things to do. Work, study, run, raise kids, help people,etc.

Pics?

They're probably here but bow out when threads go down an adolescent turn.

Why don't more ladies post here? Are you serious? You need to read a few more threads. They all get torn apart for having opinions, that's why. Sad, but true.

Guys just don't respect my 2:15 800 as a HS sophomore.

Maybe because they don't feel like engaging in a internet "sword" fight with beta low test distance runners?

The vast majority of LR posters are an opportunity away from becoming rapists. You still not sure why more chick's don't post here?

Here is some stats including demographic info. Some women visit the site, but there is some truth to the face that women aren't as interested in competitive running as men on average.

Nah, this place is flat-out rude and off-putting to women. They get treated like s**t on here so why bother.

maybe because it seems like a good portion of the guys on here watch women's sports with their hand on their c0ck waiting to see a hot chick sweat and breath hard so the letsrun poster can finish his task at hand.

There are more posts about drug use of certain women or if a woman is intersex or hot than praise of the women who helped each other in the 5000. I get a sense that more woman liked that story than talk about a new world record in the 10,000.

True but men get treated like crap too. We still come.

Not nearly as badly as women do on here. I love the running news and the fact that this is the best place to talk about running history, but this really is one of the most misogynistic message boards I've come across on the Internet.

Just look at the comments in the Hope Solo thread at the top of the forum right now. I just happened to look at the top thread and it's full of examples of misogyny, and it's only about five posts' long!

Trust me, I wish more females posted on here. One thing I do like is that there seem to be more Africans posting on here than in years past. It's always cool to hear from other perspectives.

They have better males to interact with than the absolute liberal shitbabies who post here.

Are you aware that photos of Hope's private parts are plastered all over the internet.

And that she beat on her sister and nephew.
