The Olympic Games have been hosted by many beautiful countries in the world and have been around for many decades. Politics have also been around for a long time, even longer than the Olympics. Many politicians, social activists and athletes will use the Olympics as a scapegoat to run their campaigns, social movements and even sponsors to show the people of the world their message, that those celebrities wish to spread. The liberal feminism movement started to encourage women’s rights in the western society during the 1960’s. During that time the involvement of women wanting to participate in the Olympics was being decided by the IOC (International Olympics Committee). Helen Lenskyj wrote a book called “Gender Politics and the Olympic Industry”, the author comments on how the IOC tried to block the liberal feminist movement. “Decades of lobbying the IOC for more Olympic sports and events for women and more women in Olympic governance reflected a liberal preoccupation with simply level- ling the playing field, while failing to examine whether it was worthwhile to gain entry to that field, or whether increased female participation would produce unanticipated negative consequences. In light of the fact that the IOC, an unelected group of privileged, predominantly white men, has appointed itself “the moral authority for world sport,” it seems unwise to assume that it would be open to the concerns of women and minorities.” The author also shares her opinion by saying, “Liberal proponents often fail to recognize that western sport priorities are not necessarily the same as those of women or men in countries with different sporting and body-cultural traditions. The right to enjoy a basic level of healthy, pleasurable physical recreation is arguably a higher priority for women globally than the right to equal Olympic opportunity, a right that at best privileges a mere handful of elite athletes.” As it was more normalized during the 1960’s to have the “nuclear family” some disagreed and changed others perspectives with a redemptive social movement.
