Ugh, pretty much what you said: I want to cheer! But at the same time, I want to weep for humanity.
There's a sixteen year old lady swimmer from China who has just done marvelously this Olympics. People keep ripping on her for looking all manly and for being fast in the first place - because she raced faster in the last 50m of the 400 IM faster than Ryan Lochte did in his respective race, therefore she must be doping! But she's been drug tested over and over again and come clean each time - the Olympic committee is definitely much harsher about drug testing this year.
I don't think she would be on the receiving end of this much crap if she wasn't a) Chinese and b) female. Because obviously the USA has a clean doping record (right). And obviously men will always be the shit (ugh).
I am amazed and wonderfully happy that this girl can make Ryan Lochte look bad! It's possible! That's fantastic! But I want to weep for humanity because of all the sexist implications that come with it. KSDJFL;AKJDSF;LKASJDF;LKSAJ;LKFAJS
