The sports activities trade is at the moment rising and bettering the gender equality agenda, however there are nonetheless shortcomings that exist on this area at present and I strongly stand in opposition to that.
In the world of sports activities come gender norms. A number of sports activities are at all times dominated by a sure gender, and when somebody of the alternative gender decides to pursue it, they’re referred to as horrible names and are fitted right into a typical stereotype.
Many ladies are sexualised and objectified by their appears to be like moderately than being admired by ability and power. Rather a lot are discriminated in opposition to and discouraged, from society and even their very own coach. Likewise, when there are males who take part in additional “feminine” sports activities comparable to dance and determine skating, they’re stereotyped and bullied. Even the Olympics nonetheless ban males from partaking in rhythmic gymnastics and synchronised swimming competitions.
We shouldn’t let future generations hesitate to affix a sport due to society’s preferences, however observe what they like and what they’re good at.
I reimagine a world the place ladies and boys can equally take pleasure in sports activities in line with their very own likings with out discrimination from different individuals.
