Should Girls Wrestle?

while women in world sports are often being misjudged. Male- dominant sports culture often come from the way women in society are viewed. (Brittney Griner leads men and women in the big twelve.) “It’s not how big you are it’s how big you play”. Female sports are highly underestimated. Watch and support women's sports because they work just as hard as the men teams do. “It’s as though the producers and commentators are thinking, ‘If we can't say anything sexist, then we can't say anything at all about women's sports”. Networks struggle to understand how much trouble these female athletes go through, just for there gender let alone being a athlete.

Because of the high degree of physicality involved, many people have wondered if women even possess the aggression needed for the sport and if they can perform to the same level of prowess as the boxing greats Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier once did (Beki, 2013). Women and girls are given the stereotypes of submissive, compliant, unassertive, and sensitive and are therefore lacking in the basic qualities assigned to

“It’s frustrating, but that’s just the way it is now,” Kate Hall said after losing to an opponent. Hall had just been stripped of her two-year reign as state champion to a transgender female (male-to-female) athlete in a high school track competition. Transgender women should not be allowed to compete with biological females. Every time a trans female makes the team a biological female is stripped of their chance to be on the team and every time a transgender female athlete places in an event another female loses the opportunity to achieve their goal of success. Recently, many transgender athletes have been competing alongside the gender with which they identify themselves, instead of competing with their biological equals. The differences in male and female physiology are the reasons why men and women compete in separate events in sports. If it is unfair for men to compete against women then how is it fair for men who identify as women to take on biological females.

Women have struggled for more than two centuries to be taken serious as professionals. There should not be a double standard in sports especially if it is loved and played by both genders. Over the years, females have competed against the stereotype of being too fragile both mentally and physically to play strenuous sports. The passion and work ethic of the female professional athletes is just as strong as the males and everyone should be treated equal and be able to have a chance at making a better living for themselves as well as their family. One area that still faces a continual struggle in sports is gender equality. Female

American athlete Babe Didrikson Zaharias earned more medals, broke more records, and swept more tournaments in more sports than any other athlete, male or female, in the twentieth century. Within recent years, women have made huge strides in the world of sports and athletics but are still not getting proper recognition for the time, effort, and talent these women have put into their sport. Gender equality is a major problem in athletics, Title XI, sports media, and the sexualisation of females involved in athletics shows the clear divide in gender equality amongst men’s and women’s sports.

Beginning with the most prevalent controversy, the obvious physical advantage males have over females. “Weight, shape, size, and anatomy are not political opinions but rather tangible and easily measured.” (Connor) This is a strictly a fact, that men have natural, biological, and evolutionary advantages in many aspects of physical exertion, however, it wouldn’t be fair to say that woman have no hope in physical dominance over any man in the 21st century. Females in male sports aren’t just sitting ducks waiting to be beaten, they have a similar polar edge including speed, flexibility, and quick thinking. Looking at an example of this, Massachusetts high school wrestler, Danielle

Women can be just as good as men in sports, they just have to work a little bit harder because of the obstacles presented to them. Also, women’s inclusion in male dominated sports like major league baseball have nothing to do with their performance but with sexism. In 1931, a 17 year old girl by the name of Jackie Mitchell struck out Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig in the same day. A few days later her contract was voided with the excuse that women were too delicate to play. If little boys and girls played in coed sports from the beginning other than a few choice teams in elementary school there would be

Despite the allagations formed against female athletes who wish to participate on boy’s teams, they should still be considered and accepted for their talent, skills and overall determination.

I played baseball from the time I was 4 till I graduated high school and let me tell you that some of those girls could compete with any man. Before my mother and father got married she asked him to come watch her play one time. My father was skeptical as he thought it would just be a bunch of “sissies” running around, but to his amazement he told me that “some of those women can do more than I ever could”. He was blown away. What I keep thinking of is the cheerleading example we used in class.

Because many schools have a limited amount of activities girls can participate in, and girls can be just as competitive as boys, girls should be allowed to go out for boys sports. The first reason why girls should be allowed to join boys sports is because all girls that participate in boy sports would be taught to have a better sense of determination. Having a sense of determination is

Are you a girl or do you know a girl? are you or the girl you know a tomboy? many girls love to play sports and be active but many do not. There are many different sports that many of people think that the sport is only a sport for men and think think girls should not play ,and should not be allowed to play in that specific activity. Why should girls be allowed to play on a guy sport? why do people think girls can’t?. Why should they? It is no where true that males are stronger than females. What i think about that last line saying that it does not say anywhere that guys are stronger than females is true some girls might’ve liked sports all their life and go stronger than guys just because they are girls does not mean the can’t work

Through the movies viewed in this course this semester, we saw women who were able to play against men and still keep their femininity. Nothing is lost when playing sports not traditionally meant for a particular race or gender. Society must become more understanding when it comes to the sports different types of people play and hinder from stereotyping anyone when they participate and perform well in that sport.

The sports world has been a new area where women are recognized. In previous times women’s sports were almost non-existent. In schools many girl teams did not receive adequate funds for uniforms and equipment. Boys sports were much more popular, such as football or basketball. If a girl wanted to play a guy sport she would be labeled as a

Being a female wrestler is nothing less than a perfect way to prove yourself. The take downs, break downs, and controlling pins made her feel overpowering. Wrestling boys, and girls gave her a challenge even though she failed every time she still got to

Since the beginning of this century women like Babe Didrickson and Billy Jean King have brought female athletes into mainstream acceptance. In earlier times women had not only not been encouraged to be physical it was thought to be harmful for
