When that guy tweeted

Not only did Caitlyn win the decathlon, she even beat all the men!

He, being a guy, missed an important point: Jenner not only beat all the men, but "she" beat all the men in an Olympic category for which there was no female equivalent at the time, and there still is no female equivalent today.

The Olympic decathlon - which consists of 10 events - is for males only, and always has been. The closest female athletes can get in the Olympics is the heptathlon - which consists of 7 events. The women's heptathlon was only added to the Olympics in 1984.

I'm sure he'd say that that only further proves how remarkable "Caitlyn's" accomplishments were. He knows it's absurd, but also that it's perfectly in line with the logic of the genderists.
