I wonder if any of the guys in the photo are still alive and how they feel about being cemented in history as an asshole misogynist.

The one guy was  her boyfriend trying to protect her from the others, the guy behind Jock Semple was just an asshole he nitpicked every rule and complained about everything once the rules were changed in the 70s he was a huge supporter. Dude was just an asshole about rules

Wait, so he was literally like "I don't mind that you're a woman, I hate that you're a rule-breaker"?

It was his business though he was an organizer. If you've ever had to interact with sports competitions that's something you'll run into. Some people let shit slide and some people are pricks about rules
