On a still day, I am the wind.

Sorry this has become nothing but rants about my bike and my fucking gender, but the sport is slowly taking my life over as is my major and I'm used to dwelling within the male dominated, but less noticeable world of punk rock

Man, that shit is bogus. You make me want to really put an applied effort into putting a stop to discrimination...even though I feel like I am better about it than most, I know I do it, and it is way shitty, and you sometimes make me realize it. But not only with myself...which is I know where it needs to start...but with everyone. I just want to be assertive and call people out on their shit. Gall Darnit, I'm gonna start!
You should totally bring it up on the boards. I mean, who knows who will read it and be like, "shit, that is whack". If one person realizes how fucking stupid it is, and real, and does something about it, then to me, it would be worth it. Who cares about all the dildos who will say "well, that's just the way things are". FUCK UM! It's fucking ridiculous how subcultures are supposed to be so radical and shit, but it's just the same bullshit that is in mainstream society. UGH! Don't even get me started!

It's great that you are aware. It would be amazing to hear a guy speak out against discriminatory language, but it's hard even for me to do it sometimes without looking and feeling like a jerk. I just wish people would be more aware when that kind of language gets tossed around instead of acting like its totally normal.
