Mhm, gender stereotypes end up being so limiting, and that can (and is) harmful for so many people--men and women alike. Like, that girl gets a lot of shit for weight lifting, but she is a bad ass motherfucker.
A good number of female Olympic competitors have to go through testing when their sex is questioned. And if their testosterone levels were high (naturally), they're banned from the game unless they have surgery or medically suppress their testosterone (despite scientific evidence proving that testosterone levels have nothing to do with performance) Most of those women had to undergo the test because they were performing at levels that were on-par with the male categories. Stuff like that just....it's really, really not okay.
(this is a bit off topic, but I sometimes often rant about this...)
