  1. “The 5km run being held in London’s Victoria Park, billed as “inclusive” and “family-friendly”, is only open to men and girls under the age of 12.”

    What the actual fuck? Please tell me this is some sort of poorly marketed daddy daughter fun run.

  2. Why isn’t this framed as a fun run with “mens” and “children” groups?  Are boys 12 and under not allowed to run? Or “London Mosque faces criticism for excluding women from fun run”?  
    Where does the “men and young girls” quote come from?  
    I get that it is incredibly sexist – but “men and young girls” suggests something that this is not.
