ABSTRACT The development in women’s sports in general, and women’s football in particular, has attracted extensive research due to, among other things, the high popularity of football, which functioned as an exclusively male domain for many years. This article examines attitudes towards women’s football in Israel, reflected in readers’ comments to related sport news items. Analysis of the responses to all the items related to women’s football posted in 2019 on sports and news websites, reveals mechanisms of fierce resistance manifested in disparaging and degrading attitudes towards women’s football and all factors involved in this sport. Some commenters emphasised women’s anomalous presence in football by restricting women to roles in the domestic and sexual spheres, while others explained women’s presence on football pitches by obliterating the gendered nature of women’s football, even to the point of equating the women with animals and beasts. Yet others blamed women players for the discrimination they experience on the football pitches, identifying the cause as ‘feminist terror.’

当代对以色列女足的态度

摘要 女子运动的发展，尤其是女子足球，由于多年来一直作为男性专属领域的高人气，引起了广泛的研究。本文考察了以色列对女子足球的态度，反映在读者对相关体育新闻项目的评论中。分析2019年在体育和新闻网站上发布的所有与女足相关的项目的反应，揭示了对女足的贬低和贬低态度以及与这项运动相关的所有因素的激烈抵制机制。一些评论者通过限制女性在家庭和性领域的角色来强调女性在足球中的异常存在，而其他人则通过抹杀女子足球的性别本质来解释女性在足球场上的存在，甚至将女性等同于动物和野兽。还有一些人指责女性球员在足球场上遭受歧视，将其归咎于“女权主义恐怖”。
