         <title>Female Athletes and Media Attention</title>
          <description>&lt;p&gt;
The things Zuska has to say often make me uncomfortable, and the way she says them often irritates the hell out of me. But I still read her blog, because she almost always makes me think about things in ways I hadn't before. &lt;a href="http://scienceblogs.com/thusspakezuska/2010/02/let_me_mansplain_that_sports_i.php?utm_source=combinedfeed&amp;amp;utm_medium=rss"&gt;Her post about the recent Lindsey Vonn Sports Illustrated cover is a great example of all of that&lt;/a&gt;. 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
Rudeness makes me want to stop reading. The "d00dz", "ladybraned ladeez", "mansplaining", and generalized sarcasm and condescension that littered Zuska's post irritated the hell out of me. But after spending just a small amount of time on actually looking at the issue, I'm having a very hard time figuring out why she might want to be polite about this. 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
Correct me if I'm wrong, but sports is supposed to be about competition, strength, skill, and determination - that's the theory, anyway. But if that was reality, most of you would be almost as familiar with the names "Jessica Long" and "Natalie Coughlin" as you are with "Michael Phelps". I'm willing to bet that quite a few of you know that Coughlin is an Olympic swimmer, but not much more than that. I'd be shocked if more than a handful of you have even heard of Long. 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
Let's start with Jessica Long - she's an absolutely amazing young woman. She won three medals in Athens in 2004, and six in Beijing in 2008. She'll turn 18 at the end of the month. It's extremely unlikely that she'll appear on the cover of Sports Illustrated. And, no matter how good she might be as a swimmer, I'll bet you a thousand dollars against a jelly doughnut that she's not going to be featured in the Swimsuit Issue.
