Today, TV channels provide man_s sport show more than women_s sport show. Why? Should TV channel give equal time for women_s sport and men_s sport?

Nowadays there is an imbalance in the proportion of

television

shows on men_s

sport

and women_s

sport

. Significantly more

time

is dedicated to showing men_s sports than women_s

sport

. In

this

essay, I will speculate the reasons behind the phenomenon and argue that

television

should allocate equal

time

to show both male and female sports.

Allocating more screen

time

for men_s

sport

than women_s

sport

can be explained by gender stereotype. When people think of sports, words

such

as strength,

muscularity

Suggestion
muscular

and agility will come up in their minds and those words are typically associated with men.

Consequently

, some people still hold the belief that some sports are limited to men and are not suitable for women.

For example

, Chinese people insist that women should be gentle, modest and tender and should not be involved in brutal sports

such

as hockey and football. When fewer women participate in various sports, there are fewer events to show on TV.

I believe that

television

should allocate the same amount of

time

to show both genders_ sports)

Firstly

,

this

will help in overcoming gender stereotype. When exposed to more women_s sports, people will gradually change their perceptions that women are always weaker than men and realize that they are capable of playing sports as well as men. It helps to promote an equal stance of men and women.

Secondly

, it

also

helps to promote a healthy message to the public. Exposure on

television

channels is the key to heightening people_s awareness of the health benefits of good health. Since

television

has a

large

Suggestion
larger

audience reach, it will motivate more people, particularly women to exercise and

thus

improve their health.

Uneven distribution of screen

time

for men_s

sport

and women_s

sport

can be attributed to gender stereotype. To

break age

the quantity broken
breakage

old beliefs and encourage people to exercise, equal

time

should be given for showing both genders_

sport

activities on

television
