The body image thing is pretty major, it stops a ridiculous percentage of teenage girls partaking in sports and a lot of them just don't start again.
You can see that when we go on rides it's usually about one women for every ten men. Once we cycled past a running club on a Saturday run and it was almost 50/50. I guess cycling has the reputation to give you massive legs and running has the reputation to make you slender... I can't verify either but it is a bit sad anyway.
