Title IX - Why Not A Non-Athletic Equivalent?

[Shantanu]

I read an article in the paper a few weeks ago, about a local university having to abolish the men's wrestling team to comply with the Title IX. I have to believe that this was not the intention of the lesbians, woops I mean women athletes, who fought for the Title IX law.

Back in the day when I was in high school (about 2 years ago), most of the after school clubs would be predominantly female. You don't hear too much about this though. The feminazis have kept it a well guarded secret.

IMO, there's no system in place to screw girl's out of taxpayer money, it's just that more of them are interested in non-athletic after school events than athletic after school events - which makes sense. I would like to see one of the - few hundred thousand by my estimates - guys who have been cheated out of the right to play college/high-school sports take to court the government on this issue. If they have laws mandating that sports teams must be abolished if there isn't a proportionate male/female athletic involvement ratio, why don't they have similar laws mandating that non-athletic school clubs be abolished if there aren't enough guys participating?

Of course the objective of this is not to get such a law passed, but rather to get the goofy Title IX abolished because of the inconsistency of principle.

Cheers.

god you are slowly climbing the way to being the stupidest member on this board.



after school clubs which are open to both men and women will have no problem, there is no inequality. Athletics teams are in the most part non-coed and the women want equal funding, now granted they might not be as good as the mens teams but as far as public schools go there should be no direct sexism as a matter of policy.

Name some clubs. And if there are any men in the club there is no issue at all.

So, which feminist bit your nuts off?

Learn the facts before you respond. Schools have teams for men and women. But if there aren't enough women participating collectively in the women's sports programs, then Title IX mandates that men's teams be shut down till compliance. You could found 10 women's teams and fund them all lavishly, if the players aren't there, the men's teams *must* be shut down. Everyone but the most extreme of left-wing morons can see that the law is just absolute bullsh|t.

The same exact principle applies to after school clubs. Participation is available to both boys and girls. But the clubs tend to be predominantly female. Since more money is being spent on girls, why isn't there a law that mandates that female predominant clubs be shut down until the overall male:female after school non-athletic club participation rate equals that of the schools male:female rate? Quotas and ratios... Quotas and ratios...

Title IX has absolutely nothing to do with equal opportunities. It has everything to do with forcing a gender proportionate ratio for athletic program participation. The policy makes no sense because there is more interest for sports among men than there is among women

And women do not benefit when men's sports programs are killed. Some of the most vocal women athletes who called for Title IX back in the 1970's now decry it as a travesty.

I'm all for women's participation in athletics. I'm all for there being women's teams when there's enough women who want to compete for a given sport. The rise in women's athletic participation in the 70's and 80's sure as hell was not due to some government act. It was due to people actively getting their daughters involved in sports. Title IX certainly raised awareness of the issue, but it did not create anything. It has only destroyed.



<< wah wah wah....a few hundred thousand? Try a few thousand at most >>



You shut down a wrestling team at a big state school, there's 100 people right there. You kill a football team, there's another 100 people. In the 1990's alone, 30,000 male sports positions were killed at American colleges. If you consider all the people that would have gotten to play their sports, but weren't able to since the 1970's, that easily adds up to a few hundred thousand guys.
