Abstract	This chapter explores how our understandings of gender and Physical Education (PE) have developed since the 1980s as differing feminist approaches engage with a changing social and cultural world. The types of questions that the author is grappling with reflect many debates that are currently being played out in the media and academia. These include: Is feminism still needed? Are we now in a postfeminist era where gender equity has largely been achieved? Can girls "just do it" as Nike's advertising campaign for girls' sport suggests? Has a focus on shared inequalities been replaced by questions of difference, identities and individual choice? How do we keep feminist praxis when theory seems to have become quite divorced from practice? The author is reflecting on where we are in relation to these debates in the second decade of the 21st century and whether the questions being asked in feminism, as highlighted above, have resonance for the world of PE.
