傳統社會對性別角色有著刻板印象，因此產生了許多不平等現象，在運動領域上也是如此，但就在女性主義的興起、婦女運動的推展和性別平等教育推廣的同時，性別角色開始鬆動，男性在性別角色上有所覺醒，不再遵循傳統社會的性別刻板印象，開始有自己的選擇，選擇屬於自己的兩性意識。雖然男性從事適男運動項目的人數仍佔多數，但中性化運動項目和適女運動項目也開始有男性的參與，男性不再完全只參與陽剛的適男運動，這對於運動多元發展和個人特質的發揮有所幫助。

In traditional society, gender role is stereotyped and produced lots of unfair phenomenon which could be also found in the sport field. However, since the development of feminism, the promotion of women's movement, and the advancement of gender equity education, gender role has started to be released. That is to say, the released gender role awakens males not to follow the gendered stereotype anymore in traditional society. Instead, males start to choose their own bisexual consciousness. Although most males still engage in manly sport, males further take part in unisex sport and womanly sport as well. Additionally, it would boost the multiple developments of sport and personal characteristics if males do not participate simply in manly sports.
