this is sexist
Real question from a man who supports equal rights for women; would a race For only men be considered sexist? Without adding to the question or questioning the question can you say no? This women’s only race may support a positive cause but exhibits the actions the group is fighting against. I hope when running this race you take a good look at the ones who need a resource center. They sleep on the side walks and benches of Hamilton. They are not women. We are such a small community one day we should have a race for those homeless men.
