Ending
gender segregation in sport fosters equity, challenges sexism and boosts
participation.
Sheree
Bekker and Stephen Mumford argue that the category of ‘women’s sport’ is not
the feminist win some would have you believe. Instead, the segregation of
women in sport is just one of the many ways in which women are told to expect
less from society. Women had to fight to be included in sport in the first
place, and are now only included under far less favourable terms than those
enjoyed by men.
There are better ways to ensure safety and fairness than segregation by
gender. And this matters deeply: ending gender segregation would encourage a
more equitable distribution of resources, increase women’s participation in
sport and challenge outdated, sexist myths about women and their bodies.
