I read an article in Ride magazine about men v women. In it the two girls were made out to be better/safer than the blokes. Later that day i was flicking through a girl biker news letter that my girlfriend gets (wima) and at the back was a piccy of the same girl (pink hair and all) who is setting up this girls only race team. It really ****ed me off because there was no mention of that in ride. It made out they they were just "normal bikers" and didnt mention a fact that i think would give them an advantage on a track test.
Women should be able to do anything a man can but not at the expence of other men! Would they get away with openly coming out and starting a mens only race team and advertise the fact that women cant even apply? |

The girl is Susie and to be fair to her, she is working really hard at helping women who want to race so I cannot fault that.
www.bikegirl.co.uk But, like you have said, it does seem odd that this positive discrimination is accepted. It is old news in some ways and is already prevalent in racism, the MOBO awards being an example. Music of Black Origin. How would it be accepted if there were an awards ceremony for Music of white origin only?
