Concealed motor found on female cyclist’s bicycle at cyclo-cross world championships

Barely a day goes by in which I’m not reminded of Dr Catherine Hakim’ Preference Theory (2000), in which she outlined the evidence that far fewer women than men are work-centred. In layman’s terms, most women (six out of seven in Britain) don’t have a strong work ethic. My thanks to Martin for pointing me to a piece with a hilarious illustration of the phenomenon, in a women’s under-23 cycling race.

Not only do individual women scheme to advantage themselves over men – all-women shortlists, more women on corporate boards etc. – they also scheme to advantage themselves over other women.

  1. Concealment suggests something a woman would not want a customs officer to inspect, although the definition of motor also includes many sorts of device using high pressure propellant induced by some sort of pump.

    The mind boggles.
