1 | Brazil: Sexist Reporting Taints Olympic Coverage | Brezila: Resaka Fanamboniana Kokoa Ny Lehilahy Mandritra ny Olaimpika |
2 | This post is part of our special coverage London 2012 Olympics. In Brazil this Olympics, greater awareness of mainstream media's take on female athletes has opened up space for citizen media debate, challenging the current way major events are broadcast and reported. | Momba ny Olaimpika ao Brezila, niteraka adihevitra teo amin'ny fampahalalam-baovao an'olo-tsotra ny fitantarana nataon'ny fampahalalam-baovao mahazatra mikasika ny ireo atleta vehivavy, miteraka fanoherana ny fomba fandefasana sy fitantarana mivantana ny Olaimpika. |
3 | Ativismo de Sofá [pt] blog comments on news [pt] reporting claims that an Australian swimmer is said to be overweight. | Bilaogin'i Ativismo de Sofá naneho hevitra momba ilay vaovao milaza fa matavy loatra ilay mpilomano Aostraliana. |
4 | Apart from citing Twitter controversy between a male journalist and Brazil's women's soccer team supporters, the blog post moves on to comment on the issue surrounding the athlete's uniforms: | Ankoatra ny filazana ny adihevitra tao amin'ny Twitter eo amin'ny mpanao gazety lehilahy sy ny mpanohana ireo mpilalao baolina kitra vehivavy ao Brezila, niova naneho hevitra manodidina ny fitafin'ny atleta indray ilay lahatsoratra bilaogy: |
5 | Mainstream media coverage as it is for male and female athletes. | Fitantaran'ny fampahalalam-baovao mahazatra, ho an'ny lehilahy sa ny vehivavy ny fanatanjahatena. |

7 | Depreciating the role of female participation in sports is part of the process of [sexual] objectification. | Anisan'ny fomba fametrahana ny vehivavy ho toy ny “zavatra” ny fanamaivanana ny fandraisana anjaran'ny vehivavy amin'ny fanatanjahantena. |
8 | For instance, I've heard far too many times that the men's volleyball team is better than women's. | Ohatra, nahare foana aho matetika fa mahery kokoa ny ekipa lehilahy amin'ny “volley” noho ny ekipa vehivavy. |
9 | Or that the men's soccer team masters that of the women, and so on. | Na koa hoe ny lehilahy no tena mahafehy ny baolina kitra fa tsy ny vehivavy, sns. |
10 | As a result, if women's sports don't hold as much attractiveness as men's, what makes them viable, including financially? It is the athlete's body. | Vokatr'izany, raha tsy mahasarika kokoa ny fandraisan'anjaran'ny vehivavy amin'ny fanatanjahatena noho ny lehilahy, inona no hamelona ny fanatanjaha-tena, anisan'izany ny ara-bola? ny toe-batan'ilay atleta. |
11 | At least this is what part of sports media seems to believe, in a moment when sports and exceeding limits should be the stars of the Games. | Farafahakeliny, izany no heverin'ny fampahalalam-baovao ara-panatanjahatena, indrindra amin'izao fotoana mampalaza ny Lalao fanatanjahatena sy ny fanaovana mihoatra noho ny vita izao |
12 | In another blog post, Jornalismo B [pt] reports how the sexual orientation of Brazil's handball team goalkeeper became a top priority for Brazilian journalists, and led them to miss the perspective of the “athlete's great performance in her role” and the series of games that team had been playing. | Tamin'ny lahatsoratra bilaogy hafa, Jornalismo B nitatitra fa nanjary vaindohan-draharahan'ny mpanao gazety Breziliana ny resaka ara-nofo momba ny ekipa mpiambina tsato-kazo (goal) ao Brezila amin'ny handball, ka manakona ireo mpanao gazety tsy hahita mangirana amin'ny ezaka goavana vitan'ireo atleta sy ireo andian-dalao nandraisan'ny ekipa anjara |
13 | Machismo chato de cada dia [pt], in the post Olimpíadas do Machismo (Machismo Olympics), classifies the reports focused on the beauty of Olympic female athletes as “non-news”. | Machismo chato de cada dia , tao amin'ny lahatsoratr'i Olimpíadas do Machismo ( Olaimpika Machismo), nanasokajy ny vaovao momba ny “fahatsaran'ny toe-batan'ny atleta vehivavy amin'ny Olaimpika” ho anisan'ny tsy-vaovao tokony hotaterina. |
14 | The post continues: | Hoy ny lahatsoratra nanohy: |
15 | A disrespectful spectacle to all of us, women and men, but especially to them, female athletes who got into this competition representing their countries, after long years of training, and now, are simply summarized to the excess or lack of weight, to their hair style, smiles and, of course: buttocks. | Seho tsy misy fanajana ho antsika rehetra, vehivavy sy ny lehilahy, indrindra ho an'ireo atleta vehivavy misolotena ny fireneny ka mandray anjara amin'ny fifaninana, taorian'ny fanazarantena an-taonany maro, sy ankehitriny, ka fehezina tsotra fotsiny amin'ny lanja mihoam-pefy na tsy ampy, ny toetry ny volony, ny tsiky ary koa mazava ho azy: ny feny. |
16 | The blog Direitos Fundamentais LGBT [pt], discussing human rights in its various manifestations, elaborates on the discrimination issues involving women, gays and sports: | Miresaka momba ny zon'olombelona amin'ny endrika isan-karazany isehoany kosa ny bilaogy Direitos Fundamentais LGBT, manome fanazavana momba ny fanavakavahana mihatra amin'ny vehivavy, ny fiarahan'ny lahy samy lahy, sy ny fanatanjahatena: |
17 | …discrimination in the Physical Education field and in sports is built upon a stereotyped image that reinforces men's [triumph over women in terms of] identity associated to these cultural practices. | …Napetraka tamin'ny fomba fijery mitanila ny fanavakavahana misy eo amin'ny sehatry ny Fampianarana ara-panatanjahatena ka nanome lanja ny lehilahy [fandresen'ny vehivavy] amin'ny fomba fanao ara-kolontsaina. |
18 | Hence, homosexuality and femininity are seen as negative references. | Arak'izany, nosokajiana ho toy ny tsy manan-danja ny fitoviana ara-panananaha (homesexuelité) sy ny maha-vehivavy. |
19 | To the blog Pílulas Diárias [pt], the presence of women in the Olympics “poses a challenge to male authority”. | Tao amin'ny bilagy Pílulas Diárias kosa, nametraka fanamby amin'ny fahefan'ny lehilahy ny fisian'ny vehivavy amin'ny lalao Olaimpika. |
20 | Adding yet another element to question common sense, the author discusses the logic behind the division between men's teams and women's: | Nandinika mahitsy ny zava-misy, niresaka momba ny fizarana lozika misy eo amin'ny ekipa lehilahy sy vehivavy ny mpanoratra. |
21 | The idea that boys should play in distinct spaces than girls isn't something inherent to human nature, it is a social imposition. | Tsy zavatra avy amin'ny natioran'ny olombelona ny fiheverana fa tokony hiavaka ny sehatra misy ny lehilahy ka tsy mitovy ny an'ny vavy, fa toetra napetraky ny fiarahamonina izany. |
22 | It is clear that there will always be different types of athletes, but it isn't mandatory that the criteria for such distinction must be that of gender. | Mazava tsara fa misy foana ny fanatanjahatena isan-karazany, saingy tsy voatery hoe natokana ho an'ny lahy na ny vavy ny fepetra takiana aminà taranja iray. |
23 | Why not consider strength, weight, agility? | Ahoana raha jerena ny tanjaka, ny lanja ary ny fahavitrihana? |
24 | Sex based division is arbitrary. | Tsy mety ny fanavahana ara-pananahana. |
25 | And is yet another tool to keep us apart and make us feel different from each other. | Ary fitaovana iray mampiavaka antsika sy mahatonga antsika mahatsiaro ho miavaka amin'ny hafa |
