We can't say she's the best athlete because she isn't.

There is a reason why Phelps gets 10000x the press as Ledecky.
He's much much better at swimming.

It's why you know Usain Bolts name and not whoever the fastest woman is.

As we know, women have to break down many barriers on the road to success. One of those barriers is the way we are constantly reminded we are not men, as if it is a flaw. People call me one of the “world’s greatest female athletes”. Do they say LeBron is one of the world’s best male athletes? Is Tiger? Federer? Why not? They are certainly not female. We should never let this go unchallenged. We should always be judged by our achievements, not by our gender.



I wonder how she's react if someone explained to her that she's not a great athlete if men are not excluded.

Anyone else want to mention that she would lose to men? Jesus Christ i think that point has been covered.
