The Year of the Woman: The London Olympics Strike Early for Gender Equality

"The Games are the first in which every sport includes both female and male athletes."

This is simply a lie. There are three woman-only sports at the Olympics, such as synchronised swimming, where men are not permitted to participate. This is the first Olympics in which every sport has a FEMALE athlete. Not every sport has a MALE athlete.

I honestly think the best thing to do for this situation is advocate fatherhood ourselves. We need to give positive feedback and letters to companies which show fatherhood in a positive spotlight.

That Suburu commercial they mentioned is an excellent example.

For the first time in Olympic history, every one of the 204 delegations participating in London includes female athletes. “This is a major boost for gender equality,”

And yet, men and women do not compete in the same categories. "Oh, but that would be unfair," says the average observer, "because women have less muscle mass than men!" So why the fuck are you talking about gender equality?
