About Me

Robin YoLife ™ HIP-HOP rollergirl

"Roller Derby is all about class. It is only the women of the working class who are free to act as an heiress should not, at least on video tape. Roller Derby is all about rebelling against the gender roles of the fifties, the seventies, and today. Especially the gender roles involving female aggression. Roller Derby is about freedom. The freedom to get in the face of the ruling class, the culture scolds of both the left and the right, and prissy T.V. reviewers. And yes, Roller Derby is also about sex, just as jazz was about sex when jazz was vernacular."
