At work, we've created a cycling team and have been able to get a lot of interest from new riders. It's great. Yesterday, there was an email thread going around from a new rider and the question came up:
"why is the big man division called clydesdale but the big woman division is athena?"
Before I could respond with my answer, a woman on the thread jumped in and responded with this:
"Because if you refer to a woman as a horse in any way-- you're going to get slapped."
I think this is solid advice and applies to life outside of cycling.

OK, then I have a question. Why do you sing "the old gray mare just aint what she used to be" to me every year on my birthday? HMMM, yeah, right.

mares eat oats and does eat oats, and little lambs eat ivy.
a kid'll eat ivy too. wouldn't you?
Dug- Are you drunk?
Shelle- I thought a mare was a dove? It's a horse?
Um...I'm just guessing but I think it's probably not a good idea to car her an Athena either...
Interesting post you got here. I'd like to read a bit more about that topic. Thnx for sharing this material.
