Being a woman from birth is something that comes with trials through life simply because of the ingrained sexism in society. This is something that has been at the forefront of conversions for decades yet has only truly been acknowledged in the past few years with things like the #metoo movement and #stopsexism. One of the prevalent forms in which sexism takes on is in the sporting industry, where women in sport are at a significant disadvantage in many ways simply because they are a woman. Some of these include but are not limited to; wage disparities, sexist comments and focus being on looks not performance, limited funding, limited advertising and media coverage and fewer opportunities.
