I don't see why the race for life should just be just for women, i really wanted take part with my boyfriend this year but seems such a shame he can't take part just because he is male. I don't see why the focus should just be on women, plenty of men get cancer too.

Answer:

is that the one where women wear bras? I think you should allow women to have a female only race, so many of the women who do it are not the sporting types, just your every day housewife who doesn't feel like she is taking part in a competitive event, but a unifying experience with people like herself who have gone through breast cancer (a huge killer) or supported a loved one through it. Sure theres a time for sexual equality, but theres also a time for understanding when sexes unite in an gender binding understanding. How many of those 40-60 year old women would gleefully run in their bras if they felt men where around them. I know you'd love the support of your boyfriend but if you really want to raise money for cancer research you two could take part in any number of sporting events and donate your proceeds to them. If it's about taking part in this particular event then you have to respect it for what it is.

You should complain. Reverse discrimination of this kind is not only stupid...it stops society dealing with the real issues.

I think men and women should refuse to take part in anything that excludes the other gender...put the control back in the hands of ordinary people and stop discrimination being used by politicians!!!!

me too, but I believe the race for life is for Breast Cancer, that is why they like women to run it.
