Chapter 1
1 This gendered dynamic further intersects with racism, ableism, homophobia, classism and other forms of dominance, oppression and discrimination, so that women of colour, to take one example, are less often heard in the public sphere than those who are white. Likewise, those who are not wealthy compared with those who are.

33 MUST GET PERMISSION www.law.harvard.edu/students/experiences/ExecutiveSummary.pdf; the study found that ‘Women consistently volunteered to speak less often and made up a significantly smaller percentage of frequent talkers, those students who speak three or more times in one class. Although the monitored classes were on average 45% female, women made 39% of the 7,831 total comments in our sample. This disparity primarily reflects a gender difference in student volunteered comments. A male student was 50% more likely to speak voluntarily at least once during a class meeting than was a female student.’

4 Repucom, ‘Media coverage and the economic value of women’s sport in Australia’, corporate briefing paper (not publicly available). From the document: Myth 1: Dedicated coverage of women’s sport is decreasing. When compared to previous research in 2008, the volume of television event coverage dedicated to women’s sport remains stable. Despite the addition of male dominated channels such as Fox Footy, women’s sport accounts for 7% of all television event coverage on Australian television. ‘Repucom estimates that the Australian sports sponsorship market is worth around $780m, of which only 8% is attributable to women’s sport. Women’s sport presents an underutilised opportunity for corporate Australia.’
