Özet
The social value systems place masculinity in a privileged position. Men often think they deserve said privileged positions due to the heavy jobs that are attributed to them in the social sphere. Starting with family, learning of the gender continues with social relations. As an instrument that spreads such education to masses, media plays a key role in the process of socialization. The distinction that determines masculinity and femininity based on gender undertakes a connotation of discrimination, which is sustained in all spheres of the society by social institutions. The patriarchal social structure is one of the main reasons that underlie the emergence of gender-based discrimination. Women in patriarchal societies always exist with their traditional roles. Responsibilities of raising children and cleaning the house are attributed to women, whereas men are viewed as the symbols of power and endurance, undertaking significant tasks. Much like other areas of life, women are pushed in the background in sports too. Described with concepts such as power, competition, ambition, and conflict, the area of sports ignores women, who do not possess as much physical strength as men. Therefore, the foundations of the study are represented by the inequality of men and women in sports. Male domination that is spread via news discourse of the sporting press is another important theme, covered by this study. In this context, Turkish sporting press is selected for the research section of this study. Two prominent newspapers of Turkish sporting press, Fotomaç and Fanatik newspapers, are examined with an issue from each week in 2013, 2014, and 2015 and evidence regarding gender discrimination is inquired. © Peter Lang GmbH Internationaler Verlag der Wissenschaften Berlin 2021.
