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.
And to think I thought this had to do with Ska or Ska-Punk
👏More👏women👏fronted👏ska👏bands👏
My very first concert was the Selecter :D
I was worried it was feces-related.
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.
I came here hoping gor a zine about Ska. Maybe next time ಠ╭╮ಠ
They have a wordpress site: https://smashtheskatriarchy.wordpress.com/
Is this really much of an issue?
