A mulher na natação e a dominação masculina

Abstract

Women struggle over time for equal rights in various fields such as science, art, culture and sports. Among the rights defended are, greater access to education, equal wages with men, the right to make individual decisions regarding pregnancy, among others. This work has as main objective to present the sexíssimo suffered by students who attend swimming schools in Curitiba-PR. For this, we use as methodology the research of mixed nature, that is, qualitative and quantitative. Participated 29 women duly enrolled in swimming schools in the city of Curitiba / PR. A questionnaire adapted with 9 questions in total was used as instrument for data collection, with 4 objective questions and 5 discursive questions. Data analysis was performed on two fronts, the quantitative part was done from tabulation by percentage frequency and converted into graphs; the qualitative part was categorized through content analysis and then interpreted in the light of the theoretical reference. As a result, we found that 90% ofwomen swimming in private schools do not feel comfortable during classes; 93% of the women reported that they perceived some kind of misogyny suffered by their fellow swimmers; 73% reported feeling discomfort in relation to the suit (May) and 97% of women believe that sport in general is a field of male domination. We recommend further studies to be carried out since, at the end of this research, it is clear how much feminism is necessary and through this, it is possible an understanding of the forced relation that is imposed on women and from this understanding it is possible to make a social awareness of egalitarian rights.
