Behind the "masculine" universe of fighting, the increasing participation of women in this physical practice is becoming more and more noticeable. Several situations reinforce this phenomenon of occupation in fighting environments: the inclusion of women in mixed martial arts (MMA) fights, the televised broadcast of women's fights, and the creation of specific time slots for them in gyms that teach fighting. Scientific research has shown lower participation and mobilization of girls compared to boys in Physical Education classes. Among the students' justifications for this situation is the fact that they associate fighting with a masculine bodily expression and, consequently, not suitable for female interests. Thus, the teaching of fighting in Physical Education classes is permeated by tensions related to gender and sexuality issues, which, in turn, can favor its exclusion from the discipline's own content.
According to the text, despite the increased participation of women in struggles, the reality in schools is still different because of
the sportification of this content.
masculinization of this sport.
The media's focus on these events.
pedagogical approach to this manifestation.

Analysis of the Text on Gender and Struggles in School
The correct answer is option A. B) masculinization of this modality.
1. The Central Paradox: The World Outside of School vs. the School Environment
The text presents a clear contrast between two realities:
- Outside of School: There is an "increase in women's participation" in fighting, reinforced by the media, MMA, and gyms. 2. Inside the School: Research shows that, in Physical Education classes, the reality is the opposite. There is "less participation and engagement from girls compared to boys."
The question asks to identify the reason that difference, according to the text.
2. The Cause of the Problem at School: The Students' Perception
The text explicitly points out the reason for the low participation of girls in the classes. It does not blame the teachers, the media, or the format of the sport, but rather the cultural perception of the students themselves.
The students' justification is that they "They relate fighting to being a masculine bodily expression and, consequently, not suitable for women's interests.".
This association of fighting with the masculine universe is the definition of masculinizationIt's the belief that this sport is "a boy's thing." This gender stereotype, present in school culture, acts as a barrier that prevents girls from feeling comfortable or motivated to participate, regardless of what happens in the professional world of wrestling.
3. Evaluation of Other Alternatives
-
A) Sportification of this content: Incorrect. Sportification (transformation into a competitive sport, such as MMA) is cited as a factor that... increases The visibility of women in the struggle outside of school, not as the cause of the problem within it.
-
C) Media coverage of these events: Incorrect. The text presents the televised broadcast of women's wrestling as a factor that... reinforces The presence of women in these spaces is therefore a positive aspect, not the cause of the school problem.
-
D) Pedagogical treatment of this manifestation: Incorrect. "Pedagogical approach" refers to the way teachers teach. The text does not criticize teachers; it states that the problem stems from "student justifications," that is, the students' perception.
-
E) Marginalization of this topic by Physical Education: Incorrect. The text points to marginalization as a possible consequence future ("may favor its exclusion"), and not as the cause The current state of the problem. The cause is the students' perception; exclusion from the curriculum would be a consequence of that.
4. Conclusion
The reason why the reality at school is still different from the broader scenario is the persistence of a gender stereotype among the students. They see wrestling as an inherently masculine practice (masculinization of the sport), which discourages girls from participating.
