I think this is an issue of mentality and perception by both male and females. I'm a female rider and I think part of the reason more women don't ride is women have generally been raised to be more "tame" or "proper". It's a cultural thing and this society is still trying to get over that. However, I never felt this way as a child, was never raised in an environment to aim for less and therefore always believed I could accomplish anything. But, sadly this "I-can't-do-it-because-I'm-girl" mentality still exists. For example My 10 yr old female cousin didn't know that women could become mountaineers when she saw an episode of Everest on the discovery channel. I felt unsettled by this. I suppose her parents never created an environment where she felt she could do anything. Another reason is the male dominated industry's perception of women since their expectation is lower and therefore women will band together where we feel uninvited. But, change is inevitable and I hope for the best.

What climbs up must HUCK down.
