That's right, women are, y'know, different and stuff. All that fast-paced action penetrates her dainty mind on a different level to the average man.
Needless to say people were quick to suggest they may want to rethink their wording a little.

@MensHealthMag Congratulations on being a misogynistic tone-deaf idiot who is completely ignorant of the fact some women like sports!
— hannah✯ (@firstheart42) October 6, 2014Oh and I see Mens Health mag wants to tell people how to talk to women about sports. Dude. Duuuude.

.@MensHealthMag This female sports fan sends a giant "FUCK YOU" your way. Eat a giant bag of elk penises.

— Luis (@SDGoon) October 7, 2014The men's mag were quick to apologise.
Apologies for our “talk sports with her” story. It missed the mark and the negative feedback is justified. We've deleted it. [part 1]
— Men's Health Mag (@MensHealthMag) October 7, 2014It wasn’t meant to suggest that women are in any way inferior to men, in sports, or anything else. But … we’re sorry that it did. [part 2]
— Men's Health Mag (@MensHealthMag) October 7, 2014The tweet has indeed since been deleted.
Good.
