Maybe Rethink That Headline, BBC News...


Oooh, matron..!
After finishing university and moving back to Birmingham, Khiefa Gabbidon struggled to make friends when she started work. The 22-year-old had a job in the tech industry which she described as a male-dominated field and said she did not have any women around her. "I looked around to see if I could find any female friends but I couldn't so I thought 'I'm going to have to create something'," she added.

A female friendship group? Well, that wasn't what I was expecting... 

Eager to find her clique, Ms Gabbidon created a community group for women in May called Space For Girls. It encourages like-minded women to meet up and take part in a range of activities such as running sessions, meals out and hiking. The group has since attracted more than 8,000 followers on Instagram and a WhatsApp community of more than 1,500 women.
Maybe the BBC are recruiting ex-Sunday Sport writers?

. . . and at their hikes, lunches and sprints, more than three women attend . . .

Typical hypocrisy, that Bonnie Blue lass does a bit of speed mating, and the likes of the BBC get all snooty about it.
