What might explain why women seem more well-represented at the top of ultra-running events, relative to other track and field events?

It doesn’t appear to be physiological. Despite an early hypothesis[1] that women might have an advantage over men due to their fat stores, the data don’t seem to bear that out. Women are at a relatively constant disadvantage to men:Source: Men vs. Women, Marathoners vs. UltramarathonersWhich makes sense: women aren’t subject to the testosterone poisoning that men are, which despite its many disadvantages does give the men enormous help in athletic events. That doesn’t fade as distance increases. And despite old wives’ tales about women’s pain tolerance, women are no better and possibly worse about pain sensitivity[2].Rather, I think it has to do with culture. Ultramarathoners are a tiny, tiny group, measuring in the small tens-of-thousands[3]; many individual marathons have more than that. And they’re highly self-selected, for people with the free time and the intent to do races like that. So the motivations of individuals will have a significant effect.There are some very inspiring female ultramarathoners, including Ann Trason, who was featured in Born to Run. I can only begin to speculate about the way women might feel about a role model like that: being inspired to start, being inspired to finish at all costs, being prepared to run smart rather than hard. These are guesses; the data are too sparse to try to pin down a hypothesis. So women could be over-represented among the winners and finishers, even while having no particular physiological advantage.I have observed that women are very visible at “mud runs”, which are less competitive but can be very physically demanding. They also put a premium on simply keeping going, rather than raw speed or talent. They seem to enjoy the camaraderie and challenge, relatively free of being dominated by male competitors since you’re really running your own race. I think that may carry over into ultramarathons.It’s clear that women can be fantastic ultramarathoners, a sport which is as much about mental endurance as physical conditioning. Your body has the calories and the physical ability to do a lot, especially if your only plan is to keep moving. Simply recognizing that you don’t have to stop is the main talent of doing an ultramarathon.Footnotes[1] https://scholar.google.com/schol...[2] Sex, Gender, and Pain: A Review of Recent Clinical and Experimental Findings[3] DUV Ultramarathon-Statistik

Why do so many Indian women have their noses pierced? It seems to span the generations and even class. Is it religious, spiritual, traditional?

Like the Sari, pierced noses in India vary from community, age, religion, region, etc. A lot of Hindu communities pierce the noses of girls at a very young age (e.g., the Marwari community), and the woman later retains the stud on marriage. In the south, Brahmin women pierce noses on the right side, to indicate their community and religion. Across regions, a nose stud (used to be) considered a sign of virginity, and wearing a nose ring was a very integral part of the wedding outfit. Nowadays, these distinctions have become very blurry, and the nose stud is evolving into body art.As a South Indian woman, I made my family quite happy when I decided to get my nose pierced (for no other reason other than the fact that I found it adds a lot of drama to anyone's face, and makes a great fashion accessory), but shocked a lot of said family when they realized it was the left side (in the Southern part of India, most Muslim women have left-side of their nose pierced). Class has played a major part in piercings, especially nose and ears. Some women have both sides of the nose pierced, and some women in the coastal regions have a piercing at the centre of the nostrils (I forget what that portion is called). These piercings have been associated with rural women, and the labour classes, and as such haven't evolved fashion wise.

Why aren't lapel pins too widely used as fashion accessories?

They used to be seen more often and like tie bars and tie tacks, have faded from use. As I thought about this question it seems to me that women's jewelry from the era of tie racks and the like were more purely decorative while men's jewelry had a purpose. Of course, women's jewelry from any era is more decorative, since women's clothing has always allowed for more decorative functions than mens. They often were designs that showed the wearer's lodge, church or employment affiliations. Why have they faded from use? It's hard to be sure, but I'll take a couple of guesses.I think one reason they began to seem dated was because it began to appear something that older or middle aged men wore. After all, I don't think we've ever seen a James Bond movie featuring tie tacks on the leading man. I wonder, (and maybe someone out there knows) if in a more pluralistic society, we no longer announce all of the affiliations that were represented by tie tacks, lapel pins and tie bars. Seems like the only time we see men wearing lapel pins now is something stating “I voted”I think men are slowly starting to wear more jewelry that is simply from their own preferences, like wrist or neck chains, but I don't really think we will see widespread variety rivaling all the types of women's jewelry.And the most elegant, (I think, anyway) men's jewelry?Why, a beautifully designed watch, of course.See almost any watch from Patel Phillipe. Simply beautiful.
