Why is there a separate land speed record for men and women?

There aren’t, not officially at least. The [FIA](Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile) doesn’t acknowledge separate men’s and women’s records. Any women’s records are unofficial.
You mean, like… Guiness records? Or like Olympic records? I’m pretty sure the former doesn’t, or at least wouldn’t without cause to think that gender played a very important role in the speed for whatever reason. Olympics only tracks them separate due to the fact that they usually are separate racing events, but honestly, if a woman were to wreck Usain Bolt’s record (a tall order regardless of gender, that’s for sure), she’d probably get the same level of praise regardless from recording officials.
The medias would have a field trip on her ass (don’t think dirty here), either accusing her of cheating because women can’t beat men (for a certain vulpine-named news network), or would basically be much more proud that the new record holder is a woman, not a man (for nearly every outlet that attempts to be progressive by putting women on top of men).
For the same reason you can officially buy a star from a bunch of different officially registered official companies, be ordained as a minister of Dudeism, host a website at the domain certifiedlifecoachesrus-dot-com, publish a book called “101 Verified Facts that are 101% True”, or post a separate land speed record for dogs I’ve pet in the last 30sec named Waffle (edit: it’s 0km/h since he’s a sleepy boy yes he is).
