Is this sexist

Puglover2313 October 8th

In my current school the boys have now been complaining alot recently due to the girls having the muga Thursday lunch times (an hour and hour)(the mugs is where everyone plays football btw)

To themselves due to there being alot of physical and verbal arguments between the boys and girls

During lunch all of the boys would be the first our to the muga and they would only let in a few girls of whom the thought were good at football⚽️

Leaving everyone else not being able to do the sports they enjoy

And when the girls and boys were told to share,everyone one of the girls would make a mistake they would criticise and nag them until they left the game


So is it fair/Sexist for the school to let girls only on the muga at lunch or did they take it to far?

@Puglover2313 No, it’s not sexist for girls to have their own space to play, they deserve a safe environment where they can enjoy sports without facing criticism or intimidation. The real issue lies in the boys' behavior and their reaction. Their complaints show an unwillingness to share the space and a lack of respect for the girls' right to participate. Instead of supporting their female peers, they criticize and belittle them, which creates an unwelcoming atmosphere. This attitude reinforces harmful stereotypes about gender and sports, suggesting that girls don’t belong on the field unless they meet certain standards.

It not sexist since boys behave the same with other boys too if they don't play properly and ruin the match. Girls might feel odd cause it's new to be treated like that but boys treat other boys the same way too.

@Puglover2313 it's not sexist to take action to counterbalance an already existing sexist situation. Sports are for everyone and boys that are taking it away from girls because if sexist prejudice and arbitrary gender roles are creating an environment that requires actions being taken to protect girls' rights.

Not sexist at all. All sports have a boys team and girls team. It is wonderful that they recognize the girls are experiencing difficulties playing with the boys and being treated unfairly. It’s wonderful they did what they could to solve the problem. Though, I feel the boys team needs some sort of consequence or compassion training/talk about women’s struggles in sports (being treated as less than, bullied) at the very least.
