Sports changing the face of feminism: a male gaze from Sochi 2014

From the moments of my birth, or perhaps from the moment I began to understand things around me, I have always lived with the conception and preaching of the Bible which is that “God found Adam alone and alone, then he gave him Adam a woman (Eve) to be his companion”. So actually two personas were created, but of course one was created with a library of the other. Maybe that’s a good reason to say they’re weaker, but just like the bible, there’s also a phrase that I grew up with that actually stands in contrast to what the bible has thought of me and that is: everything a man can do. , a woman can two better.

Maybe this is correct because we have women in all walks of life doing the same as men and they seem to be in control of society as I understand it because they are treated more preferentially. If you doubt me then you should be aware that it is legal for a woman to hit a man in most cases and not considered anything but for a woman to be hit by a man actually gets him into trouble. However, feminism of this nature has been accounted for in Western nations, unlike in the Arab and African world, where men still abusively dominate women and liberate themselves.

The interesting thing is that sports could be changing this face. From the very beginning, Russia has a lot to prove to the world. That they are not the Soviet past, but the present democracy; that they are not the masculine and dominant society; instead, they understand the nature of nurturing the people around them; and, of course, that they can successfully host world sports like the Olympics without any worries. Well, they’ve succeeded in doing all this with an added flavor and that is to present the first “women’s sky jump” that women have never participated in in over 90 years.

Hey, don’t get carried away by that, you must understand that this success didn’t come so easy, but it was fought hard by many women like the ones reading this and the fight lasted decades.

Thus, I begin to understand and also to believe that sport is really about communicating and promoting change, feminism, equality and gender unity. Women can do anything that men can do. They are in the military, they are leaders, they also suffered slavery as men, they are in our homes, our schools, communities, countries and every part of our lives. So why should they be left out in some cases? I think what Russia and the Olympic Games board have done is a great social change initiative that should be learned by counties, communities, businesses, and families that unites women with a certain sense of inferiority. All human beings in the world are now products of women. They gave birth to governors, presidents, senators, etc., but are they still left out in any society? That is totally unfair and the world should admire Russia in that point of view with reference to Sochi 2014. This is the time when women all over the world should be respected and given their rights in society with equality and Justice. Also to all the women in the world, you can fight for 80 years without winning the battle, but those who fought for women jumping in the sky ask you to try one more time. Yes! Never give up! The change must happen, but you have a role to play.
