In 1967, she was the first woman to run officially in the Boston marathon. At about the two-mile mark, she was physically attacked by race official Jock Semple, who objected to a having a woman in the race. He was attacked back by two of her fellow runners, and Ms. Switzer finished the race.

So there have always been aholes who are resistant to change, to to point that they will resort to violence.
