“…Our results both confirm and advance previous findings regarding gender norms and public health compliance. Some studies referenced how men, more than women, agree that wearing a face covering is shameful, not cool, a sign of weakness, and a stigma; and these gender differences also mediate intentions to wear a face covering (Zanin et al, 2021). Scholars have argued that the resistance to mask-wearing may be rooted in masculinity and the desire to appear strong or "tough".…”

This paper examines the anti-mask and anti-lockdown online movement in connection to the COVID-19 pandemic. To combat the spread of the coronavirus, health officials around the world urged and/or mandated citizens to wear facemasks and adopt physical distancing measures. These health policies and guidelines have become highly politicized in some parts of the world, often discussed in association with freedom of choice and independence. We downloaded references to the anti-mask and anti-lockdown social media posts using 24 search terms. From a total of 4209 social media posts, the researchers manually filtered the explicit visual and textual content that is related to discussions of different genders. We used multimodal discourse analysis (MDM) which analyzes diverse modes of communicative texts and images and focuses on appeals to emotions and reasoning. Using the MDM approach, we analysed posts taken from Facebook and Instagram from active anti-mask and anti-lockdown users, and we identified three main discourses around the gendered discussion of the anti-mask movement including hypermasculine, sexist and pejorative portrayals of “Karen”, and appropriating freedom and feminism discourses. A better understanding of how social media users evoke gendered discourses to spread anti-mask and anti-lockdown messages can help researchers identify differing reactions toward pandemic measures.

“…Women's lives are further complicated by their ascribed and implicit role positions in families as extended sisters, wives, mothers, or family caregivers, with additional cultural expectations to preserve formal and informal traditions, and often must occupy reduced employment options based on sex-based expectations (Almeida et al, 2020;Power, 2020;Zanin et al, 2021). During the COVID-19 pandemic, women who may already be vulnerable to mental health issues due to socioeconomic status and other stressors took on even more burden which exacerbated these concerns and highlighted gender role disparities (Lindau et al, 2021).…”

A group of women who have been left out of the conversation during the COVID-19 pandemic is middle-aged women (30-60 years old) who were formerly collegiate athletes. This population may be in a unique position to reflect on if and how their participation in college athletics has informed their response to COVID-19. Therefore, this study is one of the first to utilize halftime (i.e., middle age and mid-pandemic) to ask former women collegiate athletes to reflect on their college athletic experience and its relevance to the present day as society is facing a global crisis. Results from this exploratory study suggest that collegiate sport experiences serve to promote positive coping responses beyond college years and during difficult times for this group.
