Women aren’t genetically more empathetic than men; the way power has been traditionally distributed since civilisation began, it has always been the burden of women to understand men. —Rutger Bregman, Humankind: A hopeful history
Reminded me of this excerpt from a somewhat optimisitic but delightful read about how the transition from hunter-gatherer nomadic/“the commons” to agricultural/private property created numerous cascading effects — one of which was how women went from active equal members (yes, even hunting) to being secondary members and essentially property. Women, even to this day, have the onus to understand men/others while men have historically had the expectation to not understand women or others.

Anecdotally, I have ran 5ks with the sony wh-m3s headphones as a last resort. With the right fit and build quality it’s perfectly doable and I could easily see it myself doing for standing exercises.
With the sweat and relative bulkiness, it’s definitely not the ideal but in the end it’s balancing what’s available, practicality, and preference. Some people may want as much noise cancellation or use a single headset for everything.
