I’ll shave my legs, I’ll wear a bra, I’d even cut my penis off for you!

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.

Is this really much of an issue?
Yeah, the skate scene is not very progressive in my experience
What is the “skatriachy”, exactly? Isn’t the world of skating already somewhat openly to all comers? They don’t seem like a snobby bunch.
Gotta sell shirts and merch somehow.
