Why is everyone embracing this blatant gender discrimination?
I checked the information on their website. I's choke full with 60% of girls this, 20% of girls that, no mention of boys. Discrimination never brought anything good.

I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt and just assume you just forgot to check the sarcasm box.

First of all, it's not discrimination because it's open to both genders. The video states that 60% of participants are female, which means the other 40% are male.

I assume you're referring to the fact that no boys were ever shown in the video, which instead focused on 'girl power.' The point isn't to discriminate against boys, but instead to show the ascent of girls out of the horrible gender based discrimination that has plagued Afghanistan ever since the Taliban took over. Most homes were forced to blacken their windows so that women and girls could not be seen from someone walking by on the street. Schools for girls still have their water wells poisoned for providing girls education. Little girls have acid thrown in their face just for going to school.

But under the Taliban, boys never lost any freedom. They can wear what they want, go where they want, do what they want. They always could and still can. Most importantly, they never lost educational rights. Rape wasn't even considered that bad for a boy to commit if a girl was "asking for it" by what she wore.

So I don't think this video is meant to demean or discriminate against boys. The institution (or whatever it is) caters to both boys and girls. But the point of this video is to show that a place like this exists which is helping to undo discrimination. Boys aren't the focus because they don't need to be. Boys aren't being put down, girls are being brought up.

but if this school existed in Pakistan, the Taliban would go and kill some, if not all the girls in it, then ban skateboarding for girls - the day after they saw this video about it. Sorry to bring down the mood.

Someone should tell them if they take off all that extra clothing it will be much easier to perform tricks. I mean you really only need a t-shirt and pants.

FOR kids, not OF kids.

It can be for kids too!

Even more cheerily, that country has nuclear weapons. No oil though, so no issue.
