In tennis, lacrosse, hockey and football the importance of the ability to be skilful far outweighs the differences between genders physically.

But, I Cannot Relate: Women's Liberation in the Twentieth Century Within the twentieth century, Australia's gender roles were radically revolutionised due to the tireless efforts of feminist icons (Smith). However, whilst many women were socially, politically and sexually liberated, lobbyists of the 90s criticised the movement's exclusion of women of colour (Burkett).

Women in Olympics Women did not just get to participate one day to the next just because they said “can I play?” Can you imagine how much the men would have laughed if their daughter/sister/wife asked if they could join the game. “No you can nott, you are a girl.” And that was the end of the argument.

The role of women in society has long been debated. Women have fought for their suffrage, their right to be in political office, and their right to equality. While this heroic effort taken on by women has been evolving for centuries there is still room for improvement. One of those target areas happens to be within the arena of athletics.

Journal Reflection #2 For my third reflection, I chose the article “For women in sports and sports business, the time is now” from the September 21-27, 2015 issue of Sports Business Journal.

We have this idea that men are expected to be more athletic, aggressive, strong and competitive. Whereas women are thought of as being more passive, weak or soft. This criterion is based off of a very common outlook being engraved into society's minds. However, these stereotypes have been questioned and confronted by a great deal of people.

Being a woman in a so-called "man's world" has been conflicting and confusing as we continue to "progress" and "innovate" the world's standards and continue to challenge the norms and dogmas set for us.
