Title for this picture was 'ufc needs better ring girls'. Suggests and agrees with the hegemonic masculinity and the idea of male dominance viewership and the over sexualisation of women! This is dowm to viewership being predominantly male so better ring girls provides better entertainment both on TV and those watching! Gets a lot of 'hype' around the event, tweeting etc!]]> 2016-11-25 14:08:31 UTC https://padlet.com/asprake/TL1036Gender/wish/139904957 https://padlet.com/asprake/TL1036Gender/wish/139905460 Hegenomic masculinity is defined as the current configuration of practice that legitimises men's dominant position in society and justifies the subordination of women and other marganilized ways of being a man. ]]> 2016-11-25 14:11:52 UTC https://padlet.com/asprake/TL1036Gender/wish/139905460 https://padlet.com/asprake/TL1036Gender/wish/139905648

She won the 1986 European Championships in Stuttgart and the 1987 World Championships in Rome.

Fatima meets hegemonic masculinity as she goes against what a women should/would traditionally look like i.e. Big build, 'Buff', Large Muscle Mass etc.

Snide remarks about her muscular physique and rumours linking her with performance-enhancing drugs dogged her career.
Fatima Whitbread challenges the stereotype that men should be/look superior to women.
She addressed these rumours directly after she retired stating that her strength came from 'incredibly hard work and amazingly hard eating'.

She explained 'I'm 5ft 5in and I was competing against girls up to 6ft. To beat bodies like that, I had to make myself stronger, faster and more powerful. I had to force-feed myself on a daily basis to compete with the best.']]> 2016-11-25 14:16:09 UTC https://padlet.com/asprake/TL1036Gender/wish/139906042 https://padlet.com/asprake/TL1036Gender/wish/139906121 This is 22 year old Holly Mangold lifting her PB of 319lbs, this goes against hegemonic masculinity as she is going against the "norm" of what women should do in sport. Also this goes against the perspective that women are seen as petit, gentle and especially not lifting heavy weights. Throughout society the male has always been seen as the dominant force compared to women and this image proves that as this  women can lift more than the average male. ]]> 2016-11-25 14:16:48 UTC https://padlet.com/asprake/TL1036Gender/wish/139906121 https://padlet.com/asprake/TL1036Gender/wish/139906143 serena Williams has provoked praise and admiration after her response to a journalist who asked about her being "one of the greatest female athletes of all time".
