Njengoba ama-Olimpiki asehlobo ase-2016 esegcwele ngokugcwele, kuningi okuxoxwayo mayelana nendlela abakhuphisana ngayo abakhulunywa ngayo ezindabeni nase-How Olympic Media Coverage Undermines Abasubathi Besifazane. Kepha ngaphandle kokuphawula ngokobulili, ngokwe-International Olympic Committee, amaphesenti angama-45 abasubathi abancintisana eRio ngabesifazane-amaphesenti aphezulu emlandweni wama-Olimpiki-isibonakaliso sokuthi isithombe sokuthi umsubathi ubukeka kanjani siguquka sibe sincane ngobulili noma okunye izingqungquthela nokuningi ngokusebenza nokufaneleka. Phela, le midlalo yama-Olympics igcwele abantu abamangalisayo abadelela inkambiso, njengomgijimi we-sprint uChris Mosier, umsubathi wokuqala oshintshe ubulili ophumelele iTeam USA, kanye no-Oksana Chusovitina, oneminyaka engu-41, ungumdlali wokuzivocavoca wesifazane omdala kunabo bonke ukuqhudelana kuma-Olympics.

Ngaphandle kokugqama kwe-Olimpiki, ingxoxo yokuthi umsubathi ubukeka kanjani nayo iyashintsha. Ngenyanga edlule nje kumenyezelwe ukuthi uSupermodel uKarlie Kloss Ungubuso obusha be-Adidas kaStella McCartney, evuma ngekhanda ukugijima kwalowo owayengumdansi nozivocavoca ovamise ukufaka ezinkundleni zokuxhumana ngokujima kwakhe. Ngesinye isikhathi, kungenzeka ukuthi wayebizwa ngokuthi "ukhuluphele kakhulu" noma "ubuthakathaka," kepha bukela imodeli yokuphakamisa izinsimbi noma ugijime iParis Half-Marathon phakathi nesonto lezemfashini futhi ungaphika ukuthi ungumdlali osebenza kanzima.

Abaphakamisi besisindo besifazane, abake bahlekwa usulu ngokuthi "banamandla" noma "yindoda" manje sebengcono kakhulu, ngenxa yokuthandwa yiCrossFit kanye nabasubathi abahlaba umxhwele abanjengoSamantha Briggs noKatrin Davidsdottir, Owesifazane Ophethe Kakhulu Emhlabeni. Futhi asikwazi ukukhohlwa ukukhuluma ngomlwi uRonda Rousey, okhombisa nsuku zonke ukuthi ukuba lukhuni nokuba ngowesifazane akuhlangani.

I-Ballerinas, evame ukunganakwa "njengabasubathi" bangempela, bathola ukuqashelwa okwengeziwe ezindlini zamandla ezicathulweni ezinjenge-Misty Copeland nemikhiqizo efana ne-Under Armor esize ukuveza amandla akhe. Isikhondlakhondla sezingubo zezemidlalo uPUMA usanda kusayinwa ukuba nguzakwethu osemthethweni wezingubo ezisebenzayo zeNew York City Ballet.

Ingxenye engcono kakhulu ngakho konke lokhu ukuthi kuvule iminyango yokuthi igagasi elisha labasubathi libambe iqhaza eliphambili-amantombazane amancane abheka abasubathi ababathandayo ezikrinini zabo ze-TV, kodwa futhi namazwi amanje ezinkundleni zokuxhumana, njenge I-Uncensored Take On 'Fat Yoga' kaJessamyn Stanley kanye Nokunyakaza Okuhle Komzimba. Isici esivamile phakathi kwabo bonke laba besifazane? Ukuzikhandla nothando. Futhi uma lokho hhayi isithombe somsubathi wanamuhla, asazi ukuthi yini.
