Wow, this got me thinking that part of my resentment towards college (and competitive prior to that) soccer is because the culture was so hyper-masculine. And I only played with women. My college coach was even a woman herself! Just goes to show that we can all internalize this shit, regardless of gender identity…hmm.
Also, I love the personal intro! Both format and content-wise.
Thanks for sharing, Jamee! You're so right – if that's the norm, how would you know any different? I read a bunch of stuff on how women can also contribute to hyper-masculine cultures so it's not just on men.
Glad you liked the personal intro. I usually only do it if there's something special in that week's post, but maybe it should be a regular thing.
