Some of those examples are kinda meh. The third example is just (taken out of context, I'm inferring here) a list of relevant things happening in the kid's lives. I don't know how old the kids are, or what their interests are, but maybe the only interesting things happening happen to be a crush and becoming goalkeeper. The fourth example (again, no context, so maybe am incorrect) is not "women being talked about like they aren't there" so much as "one manager defending choices to other manager, with subordinate in same room because reasons".
