Empowering Women's Football




The People's Countryside Environmental Debate Podcast show

Summary: <p>Are we truly allowing the women's game to flourish, or are we inadvertently controlling and comparing it to its male counterpart? Does the men's game, with its long-standing institutionalised habits, have an impact on how the women's game could evolve? Can we break free from these ingrained patterns, and embrace a new era?</p> <p>Once again your co-hosts Stuart ‘The Wildman’ Mabbutt and William Mankelow explore and examine a question sent in by a listener, with today’s coming from Lyn in Stanton St John, Oxfordshire, England. There question is as follows:</p> <p>“Can I ask, when your next episodes of the Beyond Stereotypes and Indigenous Voices mini series will appear? All seems quiet on that front. I’ve got another thing for you to talk about too. I’m not a football/soccer fan but I did see the Women’s European Championship Final, between England and Germany in July 2022. The crowd was far less aggressive and tribal than for a men's game. At a men’s game it seems more about singing rude songs, swilling beers and fighting. </p> <p>When you listen to the pitch of the sound the crowd made at this women’s final, it was a far higher frequency than a crowd for a men’s game. Maybe because there were a lot more children and women in the crowd for this women's final? You could maybe say the theatrics, the rudeness, and the testosterone fueled rhetoric of the male game is all part of it, but I feel it's a sad world if that's fully true? </p> <p>The world is largely run, controlled and driven by men and the male system, would making everything less tribal and less male dominated help solve a lot of troubles across all societies?”</p> <p>Drawing on their collective lived experiences, Stuart and William examine the remarkable tendency of women to work and collaborate together,  the long-standing history of institutionalised habits in the men's game, and express concerns about how the women's game could in time potentially mimic the structure and dynamics of the men's game.</p> <p>During this episode Stuart and William discuss the upcoming Environmental Debate Live &amp; Unscripted event, this podcasts format expanded and made more experiential, then set in front of a live audience, and arranged to take place next on May 27th at the former Bothy Vineyard in Oxfordshire 3.30pm to 9pm.
