This has led to a culture of victim-blaming for those who come forward and the reinforcement of a “boys will be boys” culture that normalizes, and therefore perpetuates, abuse.” 

"The WTA also said that it would not penalize women for wearing leggings or compression shorts in lieu of a skirt at their tournaments, something for which Williams was admonished after opting for a compression outfit to manage blood clots following childbirth."]]> 2021-12-09 13:34:53 UTC https://padlet.com/sapostolidis/loo7inm32r45ztow/wish/1938178269 Dalia, Thomas, Eli, Gillian thomasleahy1 https://padlet.com/sapostolidis/loo7inm32r45ztow/wish/1938178444 "By communicating the expectations of its membership and the availability of its resources to end violence against women and girls in sport, and exploring incentives IOC can go even further to ensure that abuse and harassment have no place in the Olympic Movement."
"The world of sport remains plagued by many of the same gender inequalities that we see more broadly; issues such as unequal pay, gender-based violence, a lack of targeted investment and negative stereotypes and social norms."]]> 2021-12-09 13:34:57 UTC https://padlet.com/sapostolidis/loo7inm32r45ztow/wish/1938178444 Nellie, Ashley, Zoe, Isabella isabellaorta https://padlet.com/sapostolidis/loo7inm32r45ztow/wish/1938180951 The quote on page 3, "The sporting world must catch up to the #metoo era and take action to end the culture of sexism, abuse of power, harmful stereotypes." This makes a good connection with something most of us are familiar with and gives us another way of how society is very slowly adapting to equality. Another quote on page 3, "Not only are successful sportswoman showing girls that they can excel on the field; many are using their status to start important conversations about gender equality and to advocate for woman's rights more widely." and " tennis players like Serena Williams and Victoria Azarenka spoke up about losing their rankings after they took time off to have children". What grabbed our attention was how, because of these women's accomplishments, and transparent humanity, they inspire young women to be less ashamed of their womanhood. ]]> 2021-12-09 13:35:52 UTC https://padlet.com/sapostolidis/loo7inm32r45ztow/wish/1938180951 Imogen R, Lily, Noah John, Jasmine imogenrussell2 https://padlet.com/sapostolidis/loo7inm32r45ztow/wish/1938183174 For everyone: The passage about sexual harassment and discrimination for women in sports illustrated the gender inequality that we still face. Also, the passage that discussed that women should not have the need to conform to “feminine” stereotypes set up by society.

 "Stereotypes, discriminatory social norms and a lack of representation remain some of the most pervasive barriers to gender equality around the world." and,
 "More visible female athletes means more platforms to advocate for issues that affect a multitude of women, both on and off the court. And more vocal female athletes bring change." ]]> 2021-12-09 13:37:01 UTC https://padlet.com/sapostolidis/loo7inm32r45ztow/wish/1938184890 Dalia, Thomas, Eli, Gillian thomasleahy1 https://padlet.com/sapostolidis/loo7inm32r45ztow/wish/1938186658 The first quote provides a solution to sexual harassment and defines a clear path to reporting incidents.

The second quote makes us wonder that if we solve these problems mentioned, would it create a more welcoming environment for women in sports?]]> 2021-12-09 13:37:43 UTC https://padlet.com/sapostolidis/loo7inm32r45ztow/wish/1938186658 Madison, Ella, Ruby, Nicolette https://padlet.com/sapostolidis/loo7inm32r45ztow/wish/1938189386 These two quotes made us think about the potential impact sports can have on the world and how much change it can inspire, in terms of culture and society. ]]> 2021-12-09 13:38:26 UTC https://padlet.com/sapostolidis/loo7inm32r45ztow/wish/1938189386 Imogen A., Imani, Saabriah, Jesse https://padlet.com/sapostolidis/loo7inm32r45ztow/wish/1938190867 These quotes made us think about how important representation and diversity on bigger platforms are to bring and motivate change. The current discrimination that women face and the stereotypes they are labeled with are extremely negative ideologies and remain some of the primary barriers in establishing gender equality.]]> 2021-12-09 13:38:59 UTC https://padlet.com/sapostolidis/loo7inm32r45ztow/wish/1938190867 Ella, Nicolette, Ruby, Madison https://padlet.com/sapostolidis/loo7inm32r45ztow/wish/1938191341 “Sport can be one of the great drivers of gender equality, by teaching women and girls the values of teamwork, self-reliance and resilience.”
 “It can provide girls with social connections and a refuge from violence in their homes and communities, and help them to understand their bodies and build confidence and the ability to speak up, particularly during adolescence, when the pressure to conform to traditionally “feminine” stereotypes leads many girls to abandon sport entirely” ]]> 2021-12-09 13:39:10 UTC https://padlet.com/sapostolidis/loo7inm32r45ztow/wish/1938191341 Madison, Nicolette, Ella, Ruby https://padlet.com/sapostolidis/loo7inm32r45ztow/wish/1938191466 We noticed that the author is a woman herself who has experience with sports.
We wondered how exactly that changed the way that she views sports and how girls are treated in the system.

For gender stereotypes specifically there is a strong need to divide feminine and masculine through color (pink and blue), toys and other things at an early age. This shows how much women are taught to believe they can’t do sports even when they are equally capable. ]]> 2021-12-09 13:39:37 UTC https://padlet.com/sapostolidis/loo7inm32r45ztow/wish/1938192499 Saabriah,Imani, Imogen W, Jessie saabriahmapp https://padlet.com/sapostolidis/loo7inm32r45ztow/wish/1938195614 A connection that we made was that in both sports and the world outside of sports there is a large gap between men and women whether that is within opportunities, pay, gender norms etc. This gap is seen by everyone of but is turned a blind eye towards because, "it's a man's world" or "boys will be boys". These sayings have created the gap and a sense of normalcy in gender inequality. Theses same saying are what helped to launch movements like me too and also it causes men to be able to sexually harass a women and the cases being swept under the rug. ]]> 2021-12-09 13:40:44 UTC https://padlet.com/sapostolidis/loo7inm32r45ztow/wish/1938195614 One quote that grabbed our attention from source A was when the author brought up the topic of inequity within the salaries of men and women and how women on average earn 77% of men's salaries for equal work. jacksondorfmann https://padlet.com/sapostolidis/loo7inm32r45ztow/wish/1938195852 ,,.I"n addition, the author brought up an instance where a young woman who had dropped out of highschool to take care of her newborn daughter was able to flip her entire life around after one year of participating in sports. ]]> 2021-12-09 13:40:49 UTC https://padlet.com/sapostolidis/loo7inm32r45ztow/wish/1938195852 Logan, Remi, Octavio, Nico nicolasmartell https://padlet.com/sapostolidis/loo7inm32r45ztow/wish/1938198582 The author connects the issues of gender inequality's in sports to those present in the workplace. These inequality's are clearly prominent in both sports and the workforce but are being ignored specifically by men in power who aren't affected by these issues.]]> 2021-12-09 13:41:51 UTC https://padlet.com/sapostolidis/loo7inm32r45ztow/wish/1938198582 Imogen R, Lily, Noah John, Jasmine imogenrussell2 https://padlet.com/sapostolidis/loo7inm32r45ztow/wish/1938203087 We made connections to other fields of study, like women being able to take over the world of forensic science. This was important because it shows that women make up a large section of the work force especially in STEM and in sports, and they are not valued as much even though they are the most important aspect of the research/team most of the time. ]]> 2021-12-09 13:43:32 UTC https://padlet.com/sapostolidis/loo7inm32r45ztow/wish/1938203087
