Thrilled to see that you have a new columnist. Horrified to see that it is a man posing as a woman. A woman who values other women would not use the term pussy; a perjorative, derogatory term for female. (Marion Woodman would call this person a "father's daughter.") One who belittles the feminine just as the patriarchy does. This columnist is a woman who has not learned how to integrate her full self; she still views the world from a man's perspective.
There is a place in sport for the feminine - I took it to the line with me in IM FLorida last November. There is a place for the whole athlete to show up to the race. Toughness, competitiveness and persistence are required, of course. But so are groundedness, connectedness and yes, at times, surrender.Ask Dave Scott. Or Tim DeBoom. Decidedly "feminine" qualities but crucial to a complete athletic experience as a whole human being.
Please replace this "female" columnist with a real woman - one who knows what that means.
