“…At the intersection between sex/gender + race/ethnicity, most qualitative evidence has centred maleness (masculinity) and whiteness when investigating unequal opportunities and participation in PA among minoritized groups, using the experiences of white and men athletes as a norm ( Benn et al, 2011 ; Dlugonski et al, 2017 ; Dworkin et al, 2017 ; Ekholm et al, 2019 ; Flintoff, 2014 ; Forbes, 2018 ; Kardorff & Steink, 2004 ; White & Marsh, 2006 ). For example, in elite collegiate women's basketball departments (e.g., coaches or directors) at the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division 1, Black women were more likely to be disadvantaged in being promoted to a higher position in collegiate athletic coaching compared to their white men and women counterparts ( Larsen et al, 2019 ).…”

Participation in and opportunities for physical activity (PA) and sports (PA inclusively hereafter) are known to vary across individuals with different social positions. Intersectionality theory may help us to better understand the complex processes of multiple interlocking systems of oppression and privilege shaped by intersections of individuals’ social categories. The objectives of this systematic scoping review were (1) to summarize the findings of articles examining PA claimed operationalization of intersectionality and (2) to identify the scope and gaps pertaining to the operationalization of intersectionality in PA research. A search was conducted in September 2019 in seven electronic databases (e.g., SPORTDiscus, Scopus, Web of Science) for relevant research articles written in English. Key search terms included “intersectionality” AND “physical activity” OR “sport”. Database searches, data screening and extraction, and narrative synthesis were conducted between September 2019 and May 2020. Of 16564 articles identified, 45 articles were included in this review. The majority of included articles used qualitative methods (n = 41), with two quantitative and two mixed-methods articles. The most frequently observed intersectional social position was sex/gender + race/ethnicity (n = 11), followed by sex/gender + race/ethnicity + sexuality (n = 6) and sex/gender + race/ethnicity + religion (n = 6). Most qualitative studies (n = 38) explicitly claimed operationalization of intersectionality as a key theoretical framework, and over half of these studies (n = 27) implicitly used intra-categorical intersectionality. Two quantitative studies were identified which examined a number of intersections simultaneously using inter-categorical intersectionality. Complex processes of individual and social-structural level factors that drive inequalities in PA opportunities and participation could be better elucidated with the operationalization of intersectionality theory. Intersectionality theory may serve as a useful framework in both qualitative and quantitative investigations. Advancement in quantitative intersectionality is critical in order to produce knowledge that could inform more inclusive PA promotion efforts.

“…Another reason is about the traditional views: women are requested to do the laundry, the dishes and the cooking, while men drive to work. This discrimination against women has produced a stereotypical image of women, leading to the low status and unimportance of women, who account for more than 50% of population all over the world [2], [4], [5]. In this research, the discrimination against women is particularly prominent in the following three aspects:…”

This paper investigates gender discriminations in schools, families and workplaces. The main conclusion can be drawn is that female is received discrimination to some extent, which is a serious problem. The aim of this research is to review the recent progress of gender discriminations and remind people that the existence of gender bias will influence female's rights and interests, and then lead to social injustice. In the family, the conventional concept is that females are less capable than males. Hence, males play a more important roles in the family issues that will have a disadvantageous impact on females. To solve this issue, female need to learn to defend their equities through legal means and related committees. In addition, the findings about gender discriminations in the workplace are mainly due to females' special physiological processes, such as the inconvenience brought to the company by giving birth to children. It also makes companies more likely to choose male employees. In school, boys get more attentions and education from teachers, so that girls receive an inequitable education at school. The purpose of this review paper is to raise people's awareness of the importance of correcting gender discrimination. If there is a law which can restrain gender discrimination, then the atmosphere of gender discriminations will be weaker and weaker until it disappears. It makes a lot of sense to help females recognize the existence of gender discriminations and learn how to solve it.
