    The only problem with this is that in the picture of Katherine Switzer you are not looking at "men" pushing her off the track. There was only one man doing that - Jock Semple - one of the race coordinators. The big kinda hunky guy who appears to be shoving Katherine was actually her boyfriend, Tom, who was running the marathon with her. In that picture he's shoving Jock off the track after Jock tried to forcibly remove Katherine from the race. Behind him is a guy in his 50s named Arnie who was co-manager of the Syracuse Track team and Katherine's training buddy. He was trying to help Tom get Jock off Katherine.

    So, here's a case where ONE archaeic man tried to shove the woman aside but other men who believed in and supported the woman stepped in to....well, to support her.

    As a child of the 40's and 50's, I never dreamed of doing more than keeping house, raising children and playing bridge! Real adult life has been a shocker-- but I am thankful to live in an age where women are respected for their brains and abilities. We have come a very long way since 1940!

    I am a strong, goal oriented woman. The fact that I'm a woman has never been an issue. Its my abilities and my skills that get noticed, not the fact that I'm a woman.

    Sisters unite! I'm teaching my daughter to be strong, independant and a leader. Nothing will stand in her way, just like it hasn't stood in my way!

    Olbermann is a sick man--Sorry to say, I once thought he was good--as long as he kept his criticism geared to GWB!!

    LOL!!

    Olberman also suggested that someone physically pushed Sen. Clinton out of the race by taking her into a room and only he'd come out. Sicko!
