Challenges to the Male Domain, e.g. Women in Traditional Male Sports

  • Because of the existing social stigma that some sports are meant for men to play and not the women, participation of women in those sporting events was simply unacceptable.
  • However, in the course of time, women are also taking part in sporting events which were once male dominated.
  • Once again, the media should issue articles and stories against body shaming and as well as ancient thoughts that end up placing women within boundaries.
  • Some breakthroughs include:
    • 500,000 girls participating in team sports – Oz tag, touch, Rugby league
    • AFL launching their women tournaments
    • T20 championship for women
