It does. Let's say drivers license are divided up
evenly among men and women. Hardly any women race.
Lot's of women play tennis, train for marathons, and
do some pretty physically and mentally demanding
activities.
It doesn't matter to me that women don't choose to
race, but what is interesting to me is how what wasn't
acceptable ten years ago is now. Not just in racing,
but in all walks of life. Thirty years ago, women
weren't even allowed to run marathons, for example.
Things that were once controversial were common place
now.
Anyway, that's the jist I got from it, but I do see
what you're saying.
