and got myself blocked by someone, unfriended by another and today see several ignores here. Boy did that stir up a shitstorm and I have no idea why just reminding people that the women have been doing this all the while would cause that kind of reaction.

I was even nice and only listed 3 women, not even the whole list! Oh well.

I guess I should not have harshed it for the guys, they never get celebrated in sports.
