Molly Huddle calls out misogyny on letsrun.

Nope, sounds like you detest Free Speech. Period.

Whether we like peoples speech or viewpoints, we should all protect Freedom of Speech at all costs.

"They are protected when they protect the rights of their enemies to speak. And they are in danger when they support restrictions against their enemies. Because you can't limit those restrictions and you can't trust who's going to be in power to enforce them. The price of our free speech is to be insulted by the ugliness of speech we hate" - Ira Glasser

She's not wrong. The monitors will delete your post if you say anything that disagrees with the moderators. But, they will let subtle racist and misogyny statements go on..

Thank you. Many people have forgotten that restrictions on free speech are most likely to hurt the most vulnerable. What amazes me is that professional women athletes today are living through one of the most blatantly sexist attacks on female sport, and social sanctions for "offensive" speech are so bad that they're not allowed to say anything about it. Despite this, people are hungry for censorship. It's baffling.

Grow a pair of balls, if you think this place is is anything like 4chan you are truly doomed in life

"This place isn't as bad as this other really bad place" isn't a very strong argument.

Yeah because false equivalencies are really strong arguments…

You’re a pathetic loser, all you rats scream racism and misogyny 24/7, when reality it’s a view point that doesn’t fit your progressive narrative… the East African doping scene comes to mind. Running used to be about discipline and courage. Now we have ‘grown adults’ complaining there feeling got hurt. You sheltered pricks disgust me

Women want equality (as they should) but without the consequences, accounatbility and responsibilities

Ah yes the discipline and courage of Blood Doping Brits and Androgened up Americans

You make zero sense.

There is no defense for the bigoted spam on these boards, it's not, nor has even been integral to (or even a part of) running culture.

The venn diagram of people who don't think the post Molly Huddle referenced is funny and the people who don't think Norm MacDonald was funny is a perfect circle.

Huddle was called out by the far left exactly one year ago when she made a (since deleted) post on her instagram that featured several white Saucony athletes. I remember some people's comments almost seem to accuse her of being racist for running for a company that seemed to only sign white female runners. Huddle is certainly not a racist in any way but a simple innocent instagram post put a target on her back for a short time. Those who throw stones should not live in glass houses.

"Grow a pair of balls"? On a thread about misogyny. The lack of personal awareness here is breathtaking.

Something that was making me laugh. There once was a band called 2 live crew. which played a lot of fithy no good songs. and some of those songs i found pretty funny. but what i find even more funny. you can read one of the singers books. it's called - the book of luke. and he took those profits he made from the so called filth. And he built a number of youth sports programs. And he was a major asset to his community. so Molly. Maybe your words are cleaner. Maybe they arent. but one thing is certain. so far, you have a long way to go to contribute anywhere near as much as as some so called misogynistic filth talkers. if you end up trying some day. good luck.

Yes! I’m scrolling through this thinking, “wow, Molly really struck a nerve with a lot of fragile men.” This responses are hilarious, so pathetic. She got you all

Triggered! Looks like she owns all of you!

No, not really. Her job, as a sponsored athlete, is not own anyone, neither try to fake to be a political leader, or a fighter for god-knows -what-kind-of-rights. What she has achieved is quite different. She had chosen one thread on Letsrun to create an argument that has no other purpose than stir a controversy. The only result she gets out of her tweets is that she has lost a lot of fans. You know, the fan base is (was) actually quite broader than "progressive" crowd. Like, maybe, consisting of runners, regardless of their political opinions? She has failed at her job.

Way to earn your salary, Saucony athlete!

This place has been a cesspool since it’s inception. Molly is 100% correct.

I guess that makes the "misogynistic filth talkers" on Letsrun to be ok. They contribute so much to the welfare of others - don't they?

It may also surprise you to know that being an upstanding citizen in one regard doesn't excuse your faults in another - as quite a few child-abusing clergy are discovering.

I see, now you are comparing subjectively perceived misogyny (whatever each one of you feels that fits the definition of misogyny) with child-abusing clergy? What is next? Sadistic murderers? Won't you all stop at any point? This is absurd.

How would you feel if you would be compared - as a self-proclaimed SJW - to Stalin-like mass murderers, just because you would like to censor everything? Not a god feeling, right?
