Should women be allowed into combat? The role of women is more defined in our society curently. Actually, women take part in many fields in this life that they did not allowed to get in before such as: voiting, running for presidence, join in the government staffs or army as well. Women in combat is one of the most hottest topics to day. There are some arguments that being combat is just only for male and women should be banned from military jobs.
This is an extremely sensitive subject for the current female athletes and female sport fans. There is a famous saying that I have heard which states, “Sports are played by men and therefore viewed by men.” An article from Sports Digest goes into detail about the adversity women battle with and has faced in the sports world. The first major step taken in the right direction was the implementation of Title IX in 1972. This allowed the same equal participation opportunities for women. Since some women don’t play certain sports such as ice hockey, wrestling, football, boxing, rugby, etc it gives women an opportunity to participate in other different sports.
The distribution of rewards is unfair. Usually the men athletes are glorified and women athletes ignored in the mass media. Media images of modern women athletes tend to focus on feminine beauty and grace. The other area, technology, illustrates that men have a larger advantage too. Men create, program, and market.
A woman working in the same job as a man will usually earn less, despite the fact that she may have the same or better training, education, and skills required for the job ("Study Shows Female Managers in Britain Earn Less than Men, and Equality Could Be 57 Years Away." 2010). Women are consistently discriminated against in the workplace. Women only make 60 percent or less than their male counterparts in the same job position (Louis, 2010). Throughout history men are seen as the “strong/tough ones”; the belief is that they should be paid more than women in order to support their families (Loney, 2005).
The addressing of the media having a role in projection of a female athlete role interjects the media may not always send the best message concerning a female athlete, which is a message of femininity concerning the athlete. The interjection of the media cast typing how female athletes are always feminine no matter the sport you play; it will always have a feminine illusion of the female athlete. Society tells us that boys are the athletic ones and girls are beautiful. However, more and more women are making a living for athletic ability, most of the time because they are a beautiful athlete. Women athletes have made huge strides since Title IX but there is still room for improvement.
A common stereotype is that some sports are considered to be girl sports and real men do not play them. For example, women do not play football because it is a rough, physically challenging sport, and it is the epitome of a male sport. However, traditional gender stereotypes for females include the ideas that “girls don’t sweat”, “girls don’t run”, and “girls don’t get dirty”, have been challenged and questioned in conjunction with being a female and being feminine (Croteau, Hoynes, Milan 203). Women
There is serious lack of media coverage allocated to women’s sport resulting in the misinterpretation of women in physical activity. The role of the media plays an important role in an athletes’ career and women of today receive inadequate coverage and are often stereotypically portrayed when they are included. (www.dsr.nsw.gov.au). This lack of representation in the media can been seen in a report by the Australian Sports Commission which showed women’s sport receives only 1.2% of all air
This leads to hegemony, where the powerful remain in control. In today society, female sports do not get the recognition that men sports do in that they do not make the same amount of money, the same amount of respect, and the same amount of television coverage. Gender discrimination root comes from the interest and desires of society. Female athletes are frequently looked upon as not being as entertaining or lacking athleticism compared to male athletes.
Women Outlive Men “Men are better than women. Men should not do what women do because it will cause indignity.” Almost all of people are familiar with this quotation. There are many people who still believe that women are weaker than men, but it is the time for them to think about it again. People think that men are stronger than women because they can run faster, lift heavier weight, and do everything that women could not do. In fact, women outlive men by about five to six years.
Females with bachelor's degrees earned $35,408 in 2000, compared with $49,982 for males. To this point in my point of view, it is absurd that women are still being underpaid for similar jobs occupied by men. Women worked hard in this society just like any men and still it is difficult for them to reach or break the glass ceiling that bare them from the executive office. This issue is not only a United States issue; it is a worldwide issue where women are
