We will now finally have a woman president. India, Germany, Mexico, New Zealand, and so many other countries have had women executives, and after next January we will also, finally, join the crowd.
It is hard to imagine now, but the Olympics were once limited to men. Women were first admitted in 1900, but only in five sports, including golf. Pierre de Coubertin, the leader of the modern Olympics, said in 1912 that having female athletes competing in the Olympics “...is impractical, uninteresting, ungainly, and I do not hesitate to add, improper.” You might think about that while you are watching the Paris games next week.
And you might think about how tired you are of a doddering 78-year-old white male candidate.
