To laugh at the pitiable, forever dateless dudes who are hopeless at relating to women in real life and spend their days dispersing misogynistic vitriol to other similar like-minded dudes. It confirms to me that a particular entitled, privileged class of men indeed feel marginalized in the modern world and gives me hope times are changing for my children.

The perfect response.
But seriously, where else can I read serious stuff about running? I just ignore most of the misogynistic, right-wing BS. Some of the grownups who post here are thoughtful and have useful and enlightening things to say about running. As for the rest, I'm neither offended nor threatened by anonymous rants from losers. I wish this place were more civil but I'm willing to take the bad with the good.

To get under the skin of the privileged white males who feel persecuted and threatened by anyone who questions their traditional cookie cutter beliefs. It's wholesome fun!
Bet you're a lot of fun at parties!
Lots more than you'd expect given I don't care what people of your ilk care about me one iota!
Easy, it's basically self-indulgent fun. I get a good laugh from the ineffectual men who make it a habit to come on here to anonymously complain, whine, and cry in secret. It's amazing how easy it is to see through their various pathetic attempts to camouflage weakness. I'd compare it to affluent people watching Jerry Springer for kicks: "damn, I've got it pretty good compared to what I see here!"
Because not everything I do or think revolves around men.

Honey, unless your name is literally Kenenisa Bekele, there's literally no chance of that happening.
Running stats geek since '84 Olympics. Appreciate the insights of El Keniano and Native Son - they have really helped me in the prediction contests.
This is also my go-to news source for up to date info on Cam Levins' hair.
Interesting insight, and about what I expected to see. However, this thread is worthless without pics.

Can we get IP address checks for this thread? Too many unregistered usernames posting the same stuff within minutes of each other. I bet most of these are from the same person.
So I can party hard and train hard beeeetch.
For great coaching advice
Like
Its puberty,

Lose 15 pounds and you'll run faster
And
Stop crying
We need all the women (and men) runners we can get, running can change the world.

Record levels of troll answers, like a woman would waste time coming here just to confirm what jerks guys are.

I assume every woman who comes on here has already posted on this thread. What do we think the breakdown is on this website? I would think 90% of posters are men & maybe 75% of visitors are men. I think some more women probably check this site once a day like I do for running news. There isn't a more helpful website to see big name race results and previews even though sometimes the articles have flaws themselves (the harping on where people are born + the male previews are always up first). It's just some of the threads and bad male behavior going unchecked that I wish could be a little bit better around these parts. I put that on the website for facilitating some of those bad actors.
I've been here since 2001 (even won the 2004 OT prediction contest way back under my original username 'fou'), so at this point I'm mostly just fulfilling the sunk-cost fallacy.

Reddit advanced running doesn't have as much discussion of pro running, which I like to follow. That's the only reason I keep coming back to the boards, but it's not worth it anymore when even potentially interesting threads devolve into the muck.
I'm sticking to lrc front page and yes... flotrack... from now on.

Time to cut up LRC into two.
1. LRC - pro running news and training advice
2. LRC - schoolyard for sub-elite bullies
As others said, there's a lot of good stuff here. So I read and learn, and filter out the junk. Just like anywhere else on the internet.
