  Is skateboarding instituationally sexist? are women put of my an overt patriarchal attitude within skateboarding? Or is it society as a whole that discourages women from skateboarding, and should the industry be acknowledged as trying to encourage women into the pursuit of skateboarding?

  It's true that there is sexism stitched into our so called "all inclusive" subculture. Racism isn't tolerated so far as i can see but still women are not encouraged as much as the men. i have met only a handful of female skaters who are accepted as equals, but this is means tested in terms of ability.
  
  
  
  Is no one going to comment on the homophobia within this boys club? Excluding women whilst using language such as "so gay" to something negative seems strangely ironic to me :s
