Stereotypes“A mould into which reality is poured, whatever its individual shape. A stereotypes is a simplified and generalised image of a group of people, which is created out of the values, judgements and assumptions of its creators, in most cases society itself.”

It is perceived that Women don’t know Football simply because; we are of a different gender. Females have been playing Football since the game has existed women played; Tsu Chu in China since 255 BCE yet somehow we are still inferior to knowing Football. The fact that women have been following some sort of Football since the beginning surely must mean, that we as a gender have knowledge on this sport? There are the odd rules and regulations that women may not be fully understanding of but this doesn’t mean that we still can’t appreciate Football as an entertaining sport can it?

Investigation of Women and Football

I believe that it doesn’t! Surely there are some men out there who watch Football but are not completely sure of all the rules and regulation that Football inhabits.

Where do these stereotypes stem from?

There are various different reasons why men have created these stereotypes and one of these reasons is the FA. In 1895 women’s Football was recognised by the FA after 30 years of women battling for them to be recognised only for this revelation to be demolished 26 years later in 1921. This could be the course to the prejudice that women face today as women’s Football was not recognised until the WFA was formed with 44 members in 1969, which then led to the FA lifting the ban of women playing on the grounds of affiliated clubs.

Media Good or Bad?

Representation“Refers to the construction in any medium of aspects of ‘reality’ such as people, places, objects, events, cultural identities, and other abstract concepts.”

Football Microcosm“On average, for every £1.00 a man earns, a woman gets only 82p across both the public and private sectors.”

“In the banking and insurance sector, male pay averages are approximately £18 per hour, whereas women receive just under £10.50.”

“Women's earnings remain 18% below male wages 30 years after the equal pay act.”

Identity“The sense we have of ourselves, which we then ‘represent’ ‘elsewhere’: a person’s social meaning.
