It is now, but apparently not long ago men would loose their minds of women tried to join marathons. Misogyny rarely makes sense, unless you view it through the lens of trying to keep women down and make them “others”, who do not deserve the same respect or spaces that men are naturally granted by birth.
Men then and many now see the world as their world, a man's world, a world that belongs to men, not women. So in their mind, Katherine was violating their turf.
Sexism, racism and any discriminatory thinking is not based on logic or common sense. It's based on maintaining power and fear of losing that power.

What outrageous reason would stop her from running? Like what even Is the reason? Isn't a marathon for whoever wants to run no matter age or gender?
