And then there's the challenge of who sees what and why:
"Let's begin with the fact that Auriemma is no deeply ingrained sexist — he's done more to create strong young women than any man you can name. But that's part of what's so exasperating: Auriemma is so landlocked in his own secure and winning world that this issue seems "quite simple" and easily answered to him.
Which makes him no different, really, from the other eighty gazillion nice, wonderful and utterly blind men who deny the employment numbers — and the accompanying female stresses, insecurities and resentments — staring them in the face."

I thought of another question...say you're a coach and a man and you're a bit overweight but you really know your stuff and people know it and they pay you and praise you and you get the best out of your athletes, etc. So you not being the thinnest has no bearing on your abilities in your chosen field. Good, but would people discriminate against you more for not having a thinner body type if you were a woman?
"Researchers found even marginal increases in weight had a negative impact on female candidates’ job prospects."
