"Barbie Dolls" on the Pitch: Identity Work, Defensive Othering, and Inequality in Women's Rugby

“They Just Don’t Stand for Nothing”: LGBT Christians’ Definitions of Non-Religious Others

“…Whereas investigations typically focus on the use of racial, classed, gendered, or sexual beliefs to accomplish othering, my findings suggest that religious identities may also be used to differentiate privileged social locations from unwanted ones (see also McQueeney 2009;Sumerau, 2014;Wilkins 2008 for the use of religion to "other" groups). Similar to African-American men who claimed masculine privileges by denigrating the efforts of women during the Civil Rights movement (Collins 2005 for a review of this American history), or heterosexual women rugby players who claimed respectable feminine identities by denigrating lesbian women (Ezzell 2009 for such examples), the LGBT Christians I studied claimed religious privilege by denigrating non-religious people.…”

Although most of the literature focuses upon male jock cultures, female jock cultures, such as in women's ice hockey (Theberge, 1997), rugby (Chase, 2006;Ezzell, 2009) and soccer (George, 2005), exhibit very similar components, albeit the heterosexism prevalent in men's jock cultures does not appear to be so endemic among sportswomen (Harris, 2005). Excessive alcohol consumption, however, certainly appears to be a key component in many jock cultures among both men and women (Sparkes et al, 2007).…”
