Great story, her and others were shunned, not ignored, oppression to be sure.
They would have run circles around all comers with any more support and handily did so anyway. They were never going to let any women embarrass the men like they would.

Someone needs to get her some nicer brifters and away from those awful thumb shifter 2200/sora bits. I know some may like them but they are irredeemable in my eyes.
