And I could also see that with another theme that muscle strength and physical fitness in descriptions related to healthcare services was related with masculinity and men, although we know there are many, many women with physical fitness and muscle strength.

So there are really norms about sports and masculinity.

But when it comes to women are expected to be sensitive, men are expected to be stoic, I found one recent article where a research group analysed English tabloid newspapers, The Sun and the Mirror, when they covered all sport articles during European football championships and Wimbledon in 2021.

So one of the themes of these, how athletes were portrayed, that was men with injuries that were described as heroic and brave.
