blog week 6

After returning from the World Cup, I have done a lot of reading on it and following it really closely and I as expected, there were only a fraction of females as compared to the males. Of course in our society, men have always dominated sports and the relevance they have in their lives however I was disappointed to see as few females there as we did. This does not mean that girls are not into soccer or sports in general however I wish it was not as surprising to people or society for that matter, for a girl to follow sports and actually be into them. I have always followed soccer and I really enjoy sports however in the past, conversations with my friends about sports have been dominated by mostly guys. It's frustrating that in this subject, girls do not seem to be taken seriously when it comes to their input or opinion and when they are right about something, or people think that it is a valid statement, there is almost an 'awe' of amazement that she actually knows what she is talking about.
