Just different opinions.. I don't think " I" want to be the best of any "subset".. If I am racing or competing in anything.. I want to win the competition. Not win my run "age" , "sex" or "ability" group. I am competing to win the entire thing. That is not to say that she didn't do a great job and deserve the accolades, but the accolades coming from me at least have nothing to do with her sex, all come from the fact that she did really well, for a box or a girl. I pray that my daughter does not want to race cars, but if she did and Idolized Danica, I would be fine with that. I would not want her to idolize her as a "girl" as if their are some limitations to her sex, because there isn't and I feel that these divisions do far more harm than good. She is either a good race car driver or not... I think the word female doesn't have any place in that sentence. IMO, that is more of compliment than any of these first woman to do X,Y or Z. She is probably stuck taking all of it as all the PR is great for her sponsors etc, but I imagine she has heard enough of the first woman stuff too. Just an opinion. IF she needs my council, I am still open for business:)
