They aren't the only ones. My daughter (13) told me today that a group of guys routinely refer to her as "man" at school. (She's buff like me, and about my size or thinner.) Apparently, middle school guys (despite Title IX) still aren't used to strong athletic women ... Argh.
Don't worry. Tell her that I was called a "man" and a "hoss" recently - and by the gals! When I passed one of the National gals on a set in practice, she said she thought I was a "man." Was also called, "You are such as hoss!" by one of the young gals when she asked what I did on my 100 fly. Is it possible to be :cane: and :roids: at the same time?! :lmao: What a combo!
BTW (back to the strong topic), my coach told me at the end of the meet that I had this weekend that I DO NOT need to do more or heavier weights. He said I was strong enough but that I need to learn how to swim LC. He went over race strategies and some technique issues for different events.
