I've always been of the opinion that you vote with your money and if you want your vote to count, you need to make it heard. Excellent point!Liam H Wandihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15592644859626736304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3059413891102112937.post-73659419940010768502010-08-08T04:50:05.766+01:002010-08-08T04:50:05.766+01:00No comments?

I found this when you posted the link on <a href="http://meerkat69.blogspot.com/2009/12/bjj-frequency-spousal-happiness-slide.html" rel="nofollow">Seymour's blog</a>.<br /><br />It's true, what you said. But as a woman doing this, it's a tiny bit different. Sure, people around me may not really care, but that theoretical woman who shows up at my gym one day trying to figure out if she wants to do BJJ--she'll care. :) More women DOING bjj = more women JOINING bjj. At least that's my theory.<br /><br />So while the people around me may not give a crap, the idealist in me knows it DOES matter that I go, more than just to me. And that's really what it is to be a minority in this sport. When we don't show up, no one thinks about us. When we do show up, it's more than just another dude showing up to practice--by being a woman going to class it makes a statement, like it or not.<br /><br />^_^Julia Johansenhttp://juliajohansen.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
