Typical Clumsy Women In The Office

In the 60's women were clumsy. They couldn't help it because they are women, is what old white men that made funny training videos in the 60's wanted you to believe. Sure, this video is a joke but stereotyping women as clumsy is a serious issue.
When researching clumsiness, Charles “Buz” Swanik and a team of academics found that athletes were more likely to be accident-prone if they had poor visual and verbal memory and slow processing speeds. He concluded that a significant part of how clumsy we are is related to how our brains work and that brain training could help clumsy people to overcome their accident prone nature.

I doubt there are many children – of either gender – who formally train their brains to improve their physical capabilities. However, very ordinary childhood activities perform the function of training our brains for the things we ask of them later on. As children we aren’t aware that building cranes with Meccano, climbing trees or using building blocks is training our brains to be more physically competent, research shows that it is. This NHS advice on improving spatial awareness in children prioritizes play that includes sports, obstacle courses and construction toys.

I think many women would reflect on their childhoods and spot less opportunity to train their brains through play and sports in the way their brothers and male friends did. Researchers like Becky Francis have pointed to the important role that toys and play has in cornering children into gender roles. Perhaps clumsiness and its association with women is no exception and can be – at least in part – traced back to an overly gendered attitude to play.
Point is, gender sterotyping shapes us to an extent. But it doesn't mean its a bad thing.
