Your daily reminder that Park Run is a serious race if you're a male, an important, life-saving human right if you're a male wanting to compete in the female category, but "just a fun run" if you're a female. This is what sexism (and male entitlement) looks like.

The Parkrun dude bros are having a go at Claire. And yes, most of them are men. They've found the acceptable space to punch down on women who take sport seriously. parkrun UK, you've enabled & encouraged some of the worst misogynists on X. I hope you are very proud. Is driving

Big record in UK running this weekend…not Sebastian Sawe’s 1:59:30; not Tigst Assefa’s 2:15:40; Claire Hallissey takes fellow Olympic marathoner Mara Yamauchi’s long standing record for the most misogynists replying to a tweet about parkrun. Congratulations to all who took part.

I've just finished a morning interval session. That's the reason I'm still able to 'battle' for 1st lady at parkrun. I wasn't magically born an Olympian, I worked hard to get there. I was, however, born a woman. #makeparkrunfairforall #inclusivity

Claire trains hard in order to increase her chance of finishing as "top lady" in Park Run. Meanwhile, her predominantly male genderist "just a Fun Run!" detractors sit on the sofa scoffing cheese-dripped nachos, & guacamole because they do not care where they finish. Hmmmmm.

😄

I'm not training to do well at parkrun, I simply finish high up at parkrun because I still train. I have fun pushing myself, but it doesn't bother me if I'm beaten by another woman. It has bothered me when I've been beaten by a man in the female category. #makeparkrunfairforall

Imagine being moronic enough to shit on someone fighting for fairness in sports for women. Oh look, it's a guy too, of course. Misogyny at its finest.

Claire Hallissey The age grading is based on sex categories, and parkrun knows this is discrimination to women (see bottom paragraph). Why they are persisting in it is beyond me.

I fight for women & girls rights in sport, to get fair & safe sport, at all levels, in all sporting activities where there is a winner, winning team, record or official placing. Female rights in female sport. Not anti anyone. Simply Pro females.

While I don't agree with referring to trans women as men (it's just stoking the fire, let them be called what they like), I think this is some important research into how widespread this issue is. Parkrun are actively trying to hide the impact of trans women entering the women's

A simple message to the silly socialists. You’re upset by businesses telling you that they will fail with the minimum wage increase. You’re telling business owners silly things like if you can’t pay the minimum wage then you don’t have a viable business. I want to make this

I've done many parkruns. As an elite athlete, club runner, while pregnant, pushing a buggy, pregnant AND pushing a buggy, and accompanying my son. No performance was more valid than any other. All deserved a fair result in a female category excluding men. #makeparkrunfairforall

Thomas Willet is a misogynist. Don't be like Thomas.

This won’t go away parkrun. You keep appearing on the news, for all the wrong reasons. The female category at parkrun must be for females only. To the critics who insist it’s a fun run, tell parkrun to delete all the results and stop timing people then. x.com/i/trending/205…

One of the craziest arguments I've seen in the parkrun debate is that women shouldn't care about fairness because there are no prizes. Winning and prizes aren't the point. A non-race with no prizes should still be fair to women when publishing results in a female category.

The Green Party is calling for a £15 minimum wage for all workers. If implemented this would cost hundreds of thousands of job. These people are ideological morons and popular with some young people.

No it wouldn't Neil 🙄. You ask people to register by sex. You trust people to register by sex. If there is a discrepancy you can ask for ID (after the run) If the complaint is upheld you remove that person's results. You don't need to ID everyone.

Imagine being dense enough to get triggered by the individual, whilst being blind to the very valid underlying message. Hiking minimum wage to £15 would cripple so many small, independent businesses whilst the mega corps like Starbucks would be absolutely fine. Is this really

So many retards on X today all thinking they have an economics degree, when in reality they're championing a policy that would tank the economy and destroy so many small businesses. Here is a prime example.
