What is this insanity that we are
living in today? Do women even have a place in this world or are they just
empty space? Why are men’s sports the ones who get all the attention, fans, and
famousness. Why do women get paid so much less than men? Does society have
something against all women in this world?
Throughout society there are
stereotypes that should mean nothing, yet they mean everything to people. Sports
have a major stereotype that surrounds them. Men are supposed to watch the game
while the women only watch it for the commercials and the half time show. How can
people honestly and truly believe this? Americans believe men are always
supposed to be watching the sport. If men dare not to watch it they are not
real men, wussies, and cowards. Let’s not even mention women, if they were to
watch a game it is unethical, unladylike, immoral, bad, wrong, and corrupt. There
is no difference between men and women. Men have different personalities along
with women. Some like sports some don’t, others like music and others don’t,
and it keeps going on and on it never ends. They do not always have to follow
and mimic what everyone else does. To say that it is not right for women to
watch a sporting event is a stereotype and a sexist remark.
What is
with the movie industry, they are just as bad as Americans, they are supporting
productions of male dominant sports movies. Miracle,
Remember the Titians, The Mighty Ducks, Rudy, Jerry Maguire, Rocky, Blades of Glory, Balls of
Fury, Moneyball, and The Sandlot are just a few that can be
rattled right of the top of my head. Women’s sports movies are another story,
you can barely think of any Double Teamed,
Cutting Edge, Bring It On, Blue Crush, Bend It Like Beckham, and Love and Basketball. None of these are
even popular in retrospect to the male dominant movies.
Women need to get up there and take
a stand for this, they need to get out there and represent themselves.
Americans will never change for years to come and I am not going to just sit
around and just hope that when I have kids things will have changed by then. Our
country is to judgmental and it is not just. We women are getting and going to
continue getting degraded everyday if something is not done. We women need and
deserve respect. We women and men that support us need to stick together and
become united. So let’s all rise up and do something about it!
