Why is there a separate land speed record for men and women?
In: Other
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).
