“…That is, despite the momentous entry of women into the labor market, attitudes toward gender roles are very persistent among men and women alike’ (p.173). Similarly, new studies of Israeli women in competitive occupations such as Chefs (Gvion and Leedon, 2019) or professional footballers (Ben-Porat, 2020), show that while such careers do become more gender inclusive, their environments remain highly male-dominated. This persistent state of ‘progress and stagnation’ (Mandel and Birgier, 2016) in gender inequalities shows the continuous relevance of the symbolic labor we presented, of young women’s attempts to accommodate essentialized gender differences and a sense of growing gender inclusion.…”

The article depicts feminine subjectivity among women of the millennial generation. Content analysis of an open question relating to the answers of 623 Israeli participants reveals perceptions of femininity as at once gender conscious and non-political. Respondents express a strong sense of entitlement to gender equality yet retain an essentialized perception of gender differences. They are aware of the contradictory demands directed at women, but avoid problematizing them, instead priding themselves on their capacity to encompass both feminine and masculine traits without losing femininity. We identify in the women’s framing a strong commitment to a harmonious worldview and a non-political outlook and trace it to the influences of the global, late-modern generational preoccupation with personal transformation, self-governmentality, and positive thinking.

“…These feelings cause lower value of football and intentions to practice, and the more perceived cost and quitting football (Fredericks & Eccles, 2005;Boiché et al, 2014;Nuhrat, 2020). When we look through the world of football -England, South Africa, Malaysia, France, Mexica, Turkey, Israel, Germany, and so-it strictly and systematically has gendered discourse to the detriment of women (Pielichaty, 2019;Chin et al, 2009;Bois et al, 2005;Chalabaev et al, 2009;McHale et al, 2009;Bhalla & Weiss, 2010;Öztürk & Koca, 2021;Ben Porat, 2020;Kaelberer, 2019). As Caudwell (2011) suggests that there are not only official (institutional) but also unofficial (sociocultural) norms and legitimations.…”

The aim of this qualitative research was to investigate the experiences of women football players in Turkey in terms of Eccles’ expectancy-value theory within a gender stereotypes perspective. A phenomenological method was used to allow a deeper understanding of their experiences. The research group of the research consisted of eight women from three different football league levels in Istanbul, Turkey. Based on semi-structured interviews conducted with eight players, the data were analyzed by thematic analysis. The identified themes after content analysis are: (1) loving football; (2) instrumentality of football; (3) socio-cultural barriers against women players; (4) multidimensional perceived costs. According to these findings, we can illustrate that the social, cultural and institutional environment of the women players creates many problems, difficulties, and deprivations in their participation, which have negative influences on their expectancy for success, task values, and future plans in their sports.

Futbol dünyanın birçok yerinde esas olarak bir erkek meşgalesi. Dahası, baskın erkekliğin kurulmasında önemli rol oynuyor. Bu da beraberinde kadın futbolunun ikincilleştirilmesini, değersiz ve önemsiz görülmesini ve futbol üzerinden kadının ötekileştirilmesini getiriyor. Bu yazıda, değersizleştirmenin bileşenleri olarak futbolun kadın için bir iş olmaktansa hobi ya da bir toplumsal ilerleme aracı olarak değerlendirildiğini öne sürüyorum ve buradan hareketle de futboldaki kadının "olmaması gereken yerde olan" ve tehdit ("matter out of place") muamelesi gördüğü savını ortaya koyuyorum. Böylece sadece kavramsal ya da sembolik olarak değil, fiziksel ve duyusal olarak da kadının futbolun dışına itilmesini ayrıntılandırıyorum. Yazı, 2019 ve 2020 senelerinde toplamda dört ay çoğunlukla İstanbul'da yaptığım niteliksel saha çalışmama dayanıyor. Çalışma süresince futbolcu, antrenör, kulüp ve federasyon yetkilileri, spor gazetecileri ve sponsorlarla derinlemesine görüşmeler ve maçlarda gözlem yaptım Anahtar Kelimeler: Kadın futbolu, ötekileştirme, araçsallaştırma, hobileştirme, "olmaması gereken yerde olma" Women in football in Turkey: Nonworkers out of place Football (soccer) around the world is predominantly a masculine engagement. Moreover, it is a key practice in the production and reinforcement of hegemonic masculinity. As such women's football is largely overlooked and trivialized and women are othered through football. In this paper, I demonstrate how such trivialization entails an outlook whereby football is deemed a hobby or a social instrument for women rather than work. Feeding off of this viewpoint, women in football are perceived and treated as threatening "matter out of place." Through this, I show that women are pushed out of football not only conceptually and symbolically but also quite physically. This paper is based on four months of qualitative research in 2019 and 2020, mostly in Istanbul when I interviewed footballers, trainers, club and federation administrators, media representatives and sponsors and conducted observation at matches.
