I have a hard time imagine a area where boys would be allowed to have a similar community with that skewed gender ratios. The common assumption is that any gender segregation is caused by the minority being discriminated against.
If competitive hobbyhorse riding officially became a sport here in Sweden it would have to follow some recent laws dictating affirmative action within the sport organization. A minimum of 40% men and women. No exceptions.
- whenchamenia 8y agoSo if 40% of boys were not interested, it would be denied to girls? That seems noble in intent, but draconian in application.
- blattimwind 8y agoHow exactly does that seem noble?
- icebraining 8y agoFrom what I can tell from a short search, it seems it's 40% of the board of the organization, not 40% of the members.
- belorn 8y agoThat is right, but the political discussion around it involved more than just the board. The idea is that the organizations need to become more welcoming and as a start the government want that the boards get a minimum of 40% men and women. Recent survey show that two national organizations that manage a major sport has failed to comply. Ice hockey and horse riding. 80% men in one, 80% women in the other.
