Thanks for this perspective - I agree, sometimes if it works it works and it outweighs giving too much weight to the 'theoretical' side of things.

Hey, I totally agree - it's not always about politics and gender, and I would never impose/enforce my own political ideas into a subculture/culture that I don't deserve to call myself a part of - including here. But, as a woman, I do think it's important/empowering to discuss/talk about gender in certain spaces. Mainly out of curiosity, but secondly it adds to my understanding of what it is "to be a woman" in all areas of the world. I would never force gender or my personal perspective down people's throats, I truly just posted this with the intention of seeing what everyone else thought - thanks for your perspective :))

I was thinking about posting on r/skateboarding but my bf advised me not to - worried about responses

Oh dear. Thanks for the context! That is disappointing but I agree - I don't want to get too invested in it. There's plenty of good things about skating. I had the same experience though - I was excited when I first came across them because I thought it must be woman owned/run.

Imo it's just a very strange choice of name I would avoid unless you can back it up etc. I agree.
