Does it matter that in WA in the short amount of time I spent at my new gym, I found 2 brand new moms who climb regularly at the gym with babys’ fathers, another woman who boulders v5's who is talking about climbing with me outdoors as soon as weather gets better, and another girl who has a child and took a climbing trip to Thailand? Does it matter that I don't know any of the people you listed well enough to know if they feel that their climbing is affected because of their gender? Gender affecting my climbing is just not my reality. It's sad that it is so hard for many people to believe. I married a feminist. I am currently the sole bread winner and will probably always have the financial power in the marriage. I have financial luxury to be able to afford help. I live in WA where I can get to climbing areas within an hour. And if I cut back on climbing because of kids, it certainly won't be because of my gender. I'm not sure what we are arguing about anymore, and seem that we are not going to change each other's minds. and clausti, here is the post i was replying to. the issue of 'gender' was clearly stated.
i knew which single post had the word "gender" in it before yours. but she's clearly not talking about her chromosomal status or her lady bits exerting direct influence. it seemed obvious to me that she was talking about gender POLITICS, and you rebutted by saying your vagina never hindered you. And maybe I missed your joke, too... ... but it seemed like you were launching a rebuttal to something that wasn't really said.
