hetero-patriarchy in the skate scene

Is this really much of an issue?

[–] yessikg@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 10 months ago

Yeah, the skate scene is not very progressive in my experience

Thanks for digging this up. I was picturing inline skating or ice skating and was a bit confused (i.e. roller derby is predominantly a women's sport, to my knowledge anyway.) But I can definitely see skate boarding as a male-dominated sport. And historically, male dominated sports/spaces/hobbies haven't been welcoming and accepting of feminist values.
