Very sorry to break it to your fragile egos, but it’s not always about you
Muslim women rarely run or swim because it’s generally prohibited in Muslim communities

I was really shocked when I lived in the UAE and did not meet a single muslim woman who could swim.

Most of us can’t swim or ride bikes. We were raised like veal. Any sports was discouraged lest we break our hymen. A great movie on this topic is Wadjda

It's sad. And the women I knew would be tired and sluggish and unmotivated. At first I thought they were lazy, but when I learnt about the restrictions on physical exercise and it all made sense. Thanks for movie tip, I'll take a look at it.

They’re probably tired and sluggish because they’re covered in black tents in searing heat...or because they’re depressed.
