Feministic Stereotypes
I strongly believe the website, www.womansportreport.com, enable women athletes to show off their sport competence without feministic stereotypes. This website covers everything exactly the same as a male sports from pictures, interviews, and highlights. The pictures in the site display athletes’ in uniform, performing their heart out, sweaty brows, and dirty clothes; unlike the pictures compared to Sports Times with demeaning captions that deliver some type of female degradation. Competitor’s dialogue in interviews didn’t show any indication of feministic aspects but rather spoke in terms known by the game and gave appreciation toward other players. In an interview with surfer, Keely Andrew, whom claimed twenty-sixteen’s, Copa El Salvador

    Sport is not traditionally seen as feminine. Ex-professional women’s basketball player, Mariah Burton Nelson begs the question then- “How can you win if you’re female? Can you just do it? No. You have to play the femininity game. Femininity by definition is not large, not imposing, not competitive. Feminine women are not ruthless, not aggressive, not victorious. Femininity is about appearing beautiful and vulnerable and small. It’s about winning male approval (Burton 1998).” Gender roles play a large part in the media’s representation of female athletes. In a historically sexist world where ruthlessness, aggression, and victory are associated as male characteristics, female athletes are viewed as masculine and undesirable. In order to be socially…

    The song “Girl Worth Fighting For” exaggerates the desire and perception of beauty and appearance as well as gender stereotypes for men and women showing the high yet unrealistic expectations both genders strive to meet. The men describe the ideal woman body as someone with pale skin, a slender or curvy body with a small waist, and glistening eyes. A perfect woman will admire their amazing feat of strength and scars from battles; she shows dependence and admiration towards the man. The men also describe that the ideal man can charm a lady with ease. The more muscles a man is bulging from their armor and the manlier they act and appear, the more likely a woman will adore them. A woman will think that the man is perfect, there is nothing wrong…

    With this stereotype ignoring everyone who is not a middle-class white woman, perpetuates the idea that the feminist movement is racist and sexist toward people who are not white cis-women. Feminism fights for the rights and equality of all people regardless of gender identity. Stereotypes, such as this one, serve to drive a rift in the feminist community. It also helps the patriarchy continue its oppression on everyone that is not middle-aged, upper-middle class, able-bodied, heterosexual, white, cisgender and a man. It prevents feminists from focusing on the real problem; the…

    We all have encountered some type of stereotype or prejudices. A stereotype that I had to face was age prejudice by me being so young sometimes people don't set the high expectations for you that other people would at an older age because they expect for you to make mistakes. At times my mindset isn't where most kids are at my age. I skipped pre k and I am supposed to be in the 8th grade. When I tell people my age they be like " OMG you are young to be the grade that you are in" this is a perfect example of what I am stating that people sometimes think that you have to be average and can't go over and beyond your years.…

    Critical feminists in sport argue that females are devalued in most sporting associations and the structure of sport needs to be changed to allow gender equality. Awareness is changing within sport and physical education which is seeing more female participants partaking in male dominated sports. (Sport and Society issues, Jay Coackely et al). (Coackley) suggests that in order for gender equality to be accomplished, males will have to accept that the resources that are available to men need to be shared by both genders rather than assuming the facilities are entirely theirs, and its commonly known that male sports are often referred by the sporting title such as men’s football, however ladies generally have gender in their title such as ladies football this shows a male dominance in sports reference. Talk about that reference.…

    Throughout history women have always been stereotyped as weak. Society has labeled them as being housewives and servants for men; they had no freedom and lived under the shadows of their husbands. Although being prejudiced by society and men, women were finally brave enough to stand up for their rights in 1848 at the first women’s rights convention in Seneca Falls, despise their emotional issues and traditional ways of history. Kate Chopin’s Story of an Hour and Charlotte Perkins Gilman’s The Yellow Wallpaper portrays clearly the kind of psychological struggles and vigorous desolation women went through with men.…

    Although there has been substantial growth of the recognition and popularity of women’s sport, female athletes are still degraded to be second best to their contrasting male athletes that are illustrated by the media to be superior and the attention is focused on the body of the female objectifying her rather than emphasising her athletic ability and skill . This injustice of inequality will continue until the media its self-changes the perception of men and women and shows them to the same and just as competent as each…

    Life for women in the Modern Society around the 1950s generated great change with the innovation in consumer goods and the Feminist Movement underway. The invention of several modern appliances, such as: radios, phones, electric ovens, and washing machines, transformed women’s ability to perform housework. There were advertisements in papers, enforcing women to “modernize” and buy all the latest technology. Despite the improvements in the way that women performed housework, consumer culture also generated a rise in the public visibility of women. The increase in department stores gave women the opportunity to work behind counters. This led to the forming of a new stereotype for women: the “modern girl”. Unlike the dated notion that women were…

    During my life I've experienced a handful of prejudices and stereotypes for example one stereotype I encounter a lot is that all light skin people are rude and stuck up but when I'm actually kind and down to Earth I just have a natural mean face. Another stereotype I unfortunately get a lot is that I think I'm better than everyone else because I have light skin and long hair which isn't true at all I think that everyone's equal and all the same because we bleed the same blood, walk the same Earth, breath same air and we're all just human so I can't be greater than someone else. I feel that these stereotypes are just stupid and need to forgotten about because it causes your view to change about a person just by the way they look and what their skin color is.…

    Any kind of culture can influence the way any person of any gender behaves. One rather popular part in American culture is football, the sport people all over the country hold all kinds of parties and other get-togethers just to celebrate. Families, schools, organizations, even churches all play football at some point, and the game’s popularity is nearly obscene. However, behind the half-time snacks and scantily clad cheerleaders, the football players struggle to fit into their gender roles just like any other man. Nobody really thinks about this because athletes never really discuss it, unless they come out as gay. Even then, they keep silent. Yet, there is one former football player who decided to speak of his experience in his essay, ""Kill 'em! Crush 'em! Eat 'em Raw!"". This…

    Anti-Sexism There are people in this world that think that man should be the provider for his family. Those people also think that women should be at home cleaning the house, preparing dinner for their families. People in the workplaces today still don’t let women and men do the same things. All women and men can do anything that they put their mind to. People shouldn’t be letting others tell them what they have to do just because they are your partner, or if you are working for them.…

    Currently in this modern United States society I personally think men have a little bit more of rights compared to women but just by a little, and there are certain stereotypes given to each sexuality. For example, if you see a women playing with two kids at a playground it is totally alright but, if you see a man playing with two children in a playground you wonder if those are his children. There are many more examples of these types of stereotypes and all of them show that men and women aren’t given the same amount of equality when doing actions that are usually given to another sex. Women are gradually getting more and more rights as time goes by which is perfectly fine but we can’t give them too many rights like men were given before.…
