Another tedious example of the media ignoring the feats of sportswomen  :rant: :rant:

No, we can't count, we are morons. ;)  All we are good for is scrubbing floors and popping out babies.   .....Not.



It doesn't matter anyway though, we all know that we are the superior race don't we. :D

Too true. I could never understand why some women want to be equal with men. I'm not lowering my standards for anyone.  :roflanim:

This is one young woman who definitely does count and makes sure everyone knows it.  Such a very brave young lady!
