I get that. But using girl and gay derogatively, even when not actively meaning to be sexist or homophobic, has to do more harm than some obscure blurb from Eastern Europe or slightly suggestive pads ad. All these articles seem to be competing to be more and more right on while ignoring the fact that a significant percentage of mountain bikers are openly sexist and homophobic.
Can’t believe I’m getting political on the internet. And on a bike site. Sorry.
