(limiting my focus here) Sexism is prevalant in anything underground. DJing, skateboarding, you name it. It seems that girls and women are discouraged from delving into anything beneath the surface from a very early age. Parents/schools are very interested in pushing girls into socially accepted areas in "enlightened" society, but girls don't receive a lot of encouragement to explore the fringe. Boys don't either, but boys are going to do whatever they want and don't need that encouragement. Girls have to fight against overt and covert discouragement when entering into any activity. I think the encouragement they receive from parents/schools has more of a decisive influence in this regard.
