Newschoolers has gender problems.
Women endure harassment and if they make it and decided to stick around it feels almost like a club.
It Starts With Harassment
Women Owe You Nothing
I made like two points, I get it.
Lets start talking about how we can improve this site so it feels approachable to any gender.
That said, women owe you nothing.
We do not need to prove we throw down to belong, nor feel embarrassed if were just learning.
Even if its a simple technique question women are berated, asking if they can actually do that.
Fuck off Brad, its a question that wouldnt receive this response if a man asked.
I can give my input as a female, but Ive been here for 10 years.
Im not coming at this from an uneducated green name approach.
Things got better as a purple name, and have stopped now that Im a green name.
Im not sure my experience on this site is equal to others.
Its not just an issue on Newschoolers, its industry wide.
Women buy equipment, consume media, ski at resorts (and tour!)
yet they are still underrepresented and when they express interest are shut down.
Maybe you disagree, thats cool.
Its happening and will continue to.
Its not an every man issue, its the select few that curated a culture of exclusion and misogyny.
Newschoolers can and should do better.
