It is important in all realms of life to strive for gender equity and equality. In a recent study conducted on an Australian football and netball club aiming for gender equity, researchers analyzed decision-making structures and the establishment of women’s football sections over a 6-month period using interviews and observations. Despite efforts to promote gender inclusivity, the findings reveal that entrenched forms of masculinity still privilege certain male members, underscoring the need to continue to push for policy interventions to reshape club environments alongside increasing female participation.
