    If People Talked About Men The Way They Talk About Women In The Olympics

    'Why Usain Bolt is the Simone Biles of Running.'

    1. Men would be described in relation to their wives.

    2. Male athletes would be criticised for using their "exotic beauty" to their advantage.

    3. They would be subject to extremely gross comments like these ones circa the 2012 Olympics.

    4. And male athletes would always be compared to a female equivalent.

    5. Men would never be the first ones mentioned.

    6. The stylishness of their outfits would really matter.

    7. And time would need to be set aside to discuss what they should and shouldn't do with their own face.

    8. The fact that some Olympians are dads would be a big deal.

    9. Men would be slammed for what they wore – but the women wouldn't be shamed.

    10. And people would call out the men for being a bad role model to children...

    11. ...but celebrate the women.

    12. And people would point out the most irrelevant details about a man's appearance.
