Men have been seen as leaders in sports for so long that the idea of venturing into the coaching world may be overlooked by women. Additionally, the lack of women in the coaching field means fewer mentors for young girls to look up to and in turn fewer connections to get them started. “Since there is a lack of female coaches, any female who starts in the coaching profession has a lack of female guidance. Having guidance is important in establishing a network that would allow the coaches to move among schools and other opportunities” (Ellis & Masterson, p.
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.
- to avoid preconceptions whereas men can make superficial decisions ranging incomparably narrow. In addition, Tannen suggests an example where women can be simply judged based on their titles - “Ms.” and “Mrs.” Tannen adds on by referring to Ralph Fasold’s research that it is actually the male that is marked. She writes, “Fasold points out that girls are born with fully female bodies, while boys are born with modified female bodies.” Tannen admits that she herself who is writing about the inequality between genders could be seen as a feminist, yet doubted that anyone would put that label on Fasold. Tannen concludes that she is unhappy about women not having the freedom to be unmarked as men had. Some days she just wants to get dressed and go about her business.
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 situation constitutes in someway a handicap in the access of women to job opportunities. On the other hand, gender stereotypes stemming from patriarchy confine them to so-called low-skilled and low-paid feminine sectors. In Côte d'Ivoire, the average income of Ivorian women is 59% lower than that of men, a situation that accentuates the male predominance, mostly at the professional level (Moreau, 2014). Thus, the observation is that the subordination of the Ivorian women to men has become institutionalized due to their lower representation in the political and administrative sphere, the denial of their rights and education as well as the lack of government protection against abuse (Moreau,
So the question that is often asked is should women in developing countries, given more incentives to be active in sports? The amount of incentives given to sportswomen is the current issue. Based on what is happening in most developing countries women athletes association asks for more incentives. Government should look into the needs of the athletes currently these are the percentage of women and men that, involved in sports as stated by NCAA, where, men’s overall percentage is 57% where women’s overall percentage is 47% (NCAA, 2012). Although some people may think that women in developing counties should not be encouraged to take part in sports; sportswomen can actually help the country in certain aspects which the government should look more into it First some people argue that women in developing countries should manage home and family.
People often do not acknowledge women sports as much as men's sports. From the time of early Olympics, the role of women in sports and games was neglected. The end of the 19th century and turn of the 20th century saw the rising interest of women in sports both as participants and spectators. Since then, for many years, women have been looking to be taken seriously in sports the same way men are. This leaves a question about the worlds most loved sport, football; why isn’t women’s football as recognised as men’s?
Despite men being discouraged from a female-dominated profession, females have been progressively moving into male-dominated professions such as dentistry, pharmacy, and medicine (Kada, 2010). Why is it acceptable for women to work in a male-dominated field, but viewed as unacceptable for men to work in a female-dominated field? The issue surrounding gender bias in the nursing profession has been acknowledged by nurse scholars in recognition that efforts towards implementing strategies are needed to work towards increasing the male recruitment (Kada, 2010). The implementation of strategies towards gender equality in the workplace will assist in
Employers who engaged in unfair hiring practices attempted to justify making discriminatory hiring decisions for several reasons. Some employers believed women lacked the skills and qualifications necessary to perform nontraditional and higher-paid positions simply because of gender. Other employers who hired or promoted women into supervisory or management positions prevented those women from attaining higher-level roles, which is referred to as the "glass ceiling." The glass ceiling is a metaphor used to describe a barrier where the targeted group--in this case, women--can see the higher rungs on a career ladder but are prevented from attaining more responsible and influential positions due to discrimination based on sex and business decisions that convey the message that men are more suited to leadership roles. This is evidenced by a study in 2003 conducted by University of California-Hayward professor Dr. Richard Drogin who discovered "women make up 72 percent of Wal-Mart's total workforce, but only 33 percent of its managers."
Military organizations in general are often viewed as a “man’s job” by many because of the stereotypic male characteristics of combat positions such as aggression, courage, and strength. When women began being integrated into roles that were male-dominate many women experienced being treated differently because they were female. Women reported being treated differently in terms of being put in positions where they felt that they were at a disadvantage within the training and employment environment. The women also reported that their male counterparts would have in appropriate conversations with sexual content while in the presence of women co-workers. Although women reported these things in this study, it was also found that
