1. La Segregación de Género como Herramienta Patriarcal.
Se argumenta que la separación de categorías deportivas por género no fue una iniciativa para proteger a las mujeres, sino una imposición masculina para mantener la ilusión de superioridad física y evitar ser derrotados por atletas femeninas.
- Just a quick one: separate categories in sport came about after women started challenging male dominance men insisted on this not women but then you folks are always eager to enforce the patriarchy.
- Let's all remember that girls sports exist because the men found it emasculating to be beaten by women and they relegated women to lesser paid, lesser tv time leagues. "women's sports" exist to uphold the patriarchy.
- We were forced into separate sporting leagues not for our own fairness, but because men didn't want to lose to us. It's more patriarchy and misogyny, not women's rights.
- We shouldn’t segregate sports by gender! it’s a rule instituted by men in a patriarchy who were upset about losing to women. There’s absolutely nothing inherent to sports that makes a gender distinction necessary.
2. El Debate Trans y la "Protección" del Deporte Femenino.
La discusión sobre la participación de mujeres trans en deportes femeninos es vista como una estrategia del patriarcado. Se postula que el lema "proteger los deportes femeninos" es un código para reforzar roles de género tradicionales y mantener el control sobre los cuerpos de las mujeres.
- "protecting women's sports" is code for "protecting the patriarchy.".
- Why is the patriarchy so worried about trans women and women's sport? both threaten the patriarchal view of our gender roles as they show how fragile this ideology really is. Thus the patriarchy is trying to kill these two birds with one stone.
- I feel like it's important to know that the problem threatening women sports is not trans women, it's cis men, patriarchy, and capitalism.
- The garden variety “protect women’s sports” is just repackaged misogyny, sexism and traditional gender norms. It follows the gender essentialism of men strong, women weak that keeps the patriarchy in full swing, recruiting “women’s empowerment” to further their disparagement.
- Dear women, attacks against transgender kids in sports aren’t about being fair to women. They’re also not about sports. It’s about men and women devoted to the patriarchy wanting to control our sexuality and objectify our bodies. Genital inspections are handmaid’s fodder. Wake the hell up.
3. La Cultura Deportiva como Refuerzo del Sistema.
Se señala que la cultura deportiva en general, desde la financiación y el apoyo material hasta la cobertura mediática, está diseñada para reforzar el patriarcado, priorizando sistemáticamente el deporte masculino y perpetuando la misoginia.
- Breaking: sports culture supports patriarchy, harms real live people.
- The funding and material support for men's sports at every level reinforces the patriarchy.
- So weird that men's sports are more popular in a patriarchy world order. It's a puzzler.
- Patriarchy and turning a blind eye to sexual harassment have been part of professional sports for literal centuries so i'm not exactly surprised. But. It sucks.
- The way many cis hetero men dislike women's sports has to be one of the least intuitive results of the patriarchy. Imagine feeling threatened by the joining of two of the things you claim to like the most, just because it doesn't center you and "looking nice" for you.
4. La Metáfora del Balón: La Mujer en el Juego Patriarcal.
Una metáfora recurrente describe el rol de la mujer dentro de la estructura patriarcal del deporte: no son vistas como jugadoras o un equipo contrario, sino como el objeto con el que se juega el partido, un peón en un sistema dominado por hombres.
- In the game of patriarchy, women are not the opposing team, they're the ball.
- Once again i am remembering the argument someone made that women aren't victims of patriarchy because they're not even on the field as players, they're the ball and balls can't lose games.
- Yes, it’s another iteration of “in the game of patriarchy, women are not the other team, they are the ball.”.
- "in the game of patriarchy, women are not the opposing team; they are the ball" and it just swaps out to literally every minority group that is seen as expendable (all of them).
