You will NOT believe these comments 😳 - Misogyny in the MTB-World, a deeper reflection #29

Play
Episode 29
26 min / Published

How can we leverage mountain biking to make the world more inclusive? What do mountain biking ladies think about sexism in the mtb world (and beyond)? Is hate on social media a reflection of society? Is there systematic misogyny? Is it a coincidence that most Nobel Prize winners are male? How can mountain biking help build skills for life? In this episode I address these and many more questions, sharing some of the wild comments I got below my last YouTube video (which contained a cheeky joke, that prompted some men to write pretty outrageous comments below it, and MANY people to write absolutely LOVELY comments and even send me super appreciative emails 😍)

Here's the video with the comments - DO read the pinned comment to find out more about WHY I said what I said: https://youtu.be/_eCNaa4hn1k?si=Kqkm5BN1x5OfLyLg
