You realize you're criticizing the values of a company based on the way an article was written about them, right? I totally get what you are saying here, but I don't think you can hold the company responsible for the tone or language contained in an article about them.
I'm ashamed to admit that I knew of NF but I didn't know much about them. I had my first look at the website today and I was expecting the worst, but I don't really see where all this "bro" criticism is coming from. I had a look around, but I couldn't see anything offensive, even when I squinted. If you have an example, I'd love to see it.
I hear what you're saying, but are you honestly calling out a young clothing company with a limited clothing line for only producing men's/unisex clothing? I'm 100% on board with our sport needing more gender diversity, I just don't think this is the right place to demand perfection. This is an 8-person company trying to get a foothold in the industry and that is a different standard than we should expect from a company like Specialized (just pulling a large company name out of thin air, not trying to suggest anything).
