Why is this sexist . A question was ask with evidence across most womens's sports , including the examples when women have a choice in coaches , for example LPGA , WTA , Women' FIS .... if it makes you feel better , exclude running from this question .

Idiotic. The question has a built-in assumption that is sexist.

Obviously a lot of sexist nonsense on the thread, but the original question itself isn't entirely unfair.

One answer is that many of the groups are controlled by brands who hire the coach, so if you are sponsored by that brand and/or you want a coach that you don't have to pay out of your own winnings, you're stuck with whoever the brand hired, who is likely to be male. This is what a lot of people have been complaining about in recent years, rightly or wrongly.

But that's far from the only model in pro coaching. Many athletes pick their own coaches outside of a brand-exclusive group framework. To the extent that female athletes with options are choosing male coaches, then the gender disparity in coaching is at least partly attributable to the preferences of female athletes (which is not something I've ever heard Alison Wade ever complain about).

How many women work for Letsrun.com? There’s your answer

It certainly would help this site to hire women journalists and women moderators. Might just be what the doctor ordered to clean a lot of this garbage up.

Oh and some non white men might help with all the rampant racism here too.

Honestly if you want some boring, sanitized BS then go to /r/advancedrunning. Nowhere near as fun as here.

You can have fun discussing sport and not be a bigot. The problem is that this place has become infested with bigots.

Nonsense. Just look at the great female leaders that have won the Super Bowl, World Series, Men's World Cup, and Men's NCAA tournament. All those natural leaders got me to follow them into battle and win.

Oh, wait.

Can you explain what the assumption is in the original question . I don’t see what is sexist about it . Exclude running if you want ,and explain LPGA and WTA. You have millionaire women who can chose and they chose men as coaches .

"Women don't trust woman coaches" is the sexist assumption, and OP is asking WHY they don't. To OP, this is self-evident. So he decides to ask a bunch of (male) armchair psychologists to say their ungrounded beliefs about women's brains and women's interpersonal relationships with other women.

Why do women think being a stay at home mom is a real job ? Because they don’t like to work hard. Just like women teachers. The epitome of lazy.
