Why more men?

Why are there more men than woman in masters swimming? Everyone says that women's events always end before the men's events (and thus we have to keep that odd/even rule for pools at nationals). Is this still true? The last meet I attended there were 62 heats of women and 65 of men.

  • Fortress, And finally, from the female chauvinist pig perspective, I feel women are expected to: Carry babies to term Bounce back and look fantastic afterwards Be the primary caregiver for the kids Have a successful career at which we are making as much or more than the men Be the primary person who upkeeps the home including meals and cleaning the home Be a fantastic wife and mother while being sexy And then throw in the competing and physical activity?! That's a pretty overwhelming list. Yea, we're busing "popping out babies" along with a few other things. My husband likes to say that these items are in my "marital contract." I just :rofl: at this. P.S. The guys on my team, though, don't cheat. They are actually workout monsters and I admire their discipline and work ethic. They put up with me in their lanes because I work hard. Otherwise, I think they would not so politely ask me to leave. And I would, man. I would.
