Title IX itself isn't the problem. The problem is the abuses that have been made in its name.
And the Lefts utter idiocy continues till they ruin women sports.....gg
I think it was Chris Evert who, commenting on the Bobby Riggs debacle, related a story that in her prime she used to practice against a male player who was ranked about #100 in the world. He beat her 6-0 every single set.
So you're fine with systemic statutory sexism as long as you benefit from it?
See? Even women acknowledge that watching women playing sports is boring.
Spot on. This subject shouldn’t even have to be debated...in any state! When our congress passed this in Idaho and the Governor signed it into law, it was the one thing I have agreed with him on. (And I voted for him). After that he went downhill when Covid hit. I just hope Idaho doesn’t fold on this issue. It’s maddening what’s happening with women’s sports.
Tolerance of perversion is no virtue.
I recall reading a story, whether or not it is true, about the King/Riggs matchup in which it was fairly obvious that Riggs did a sort of half assed effort to basically let her win.
Well, this whole nonsense started with Dr. Richard Raskind (aka “Reneé Richards)
We need three categories for sport: mens, womens, and perverts.
No crossover.
There has always been a reason that sports is divided male and female.
I ‘lettered’ in my junior and senior year in high school, competing in cross,-country running.
I see no good reason to change that, “because someone feels different from how they were born”.
Sports are based on actions, competence, and ability, not gonadal “feelings’!!
Think about this:
250 pound linebacker that can press in excess of 350 pounds up against a woman, bones would be broken.
Billie Jean King at her prime or Serena Williams playing against a male Wimbledon champion, the score would be ridiculous.
Men and women have different attributes and each are superior and inferior to the other sex in certain things. It is a given that men excel women in contests of speed, strength and agility on a playing field. To have women compete against men would be unfair to the woman.
That said, data are data. Check out this excellent resource on male vs female sports outcomes. Here is the bottom line:
If you know sport, you know this beyond a reasonable doubt: there is an average 10-12% performance gap between elite males and elite females. The gap is smaller between elite females and non-elite males, but it’s still insurmountable and that’s ultimately what matters. Translating these statistics into real world results, we see, for example, that:
Just in the single year 2017, Olympic, World, and U.S. Champion Tori Bowie's 100 meters lifetime best of 10.78 was beaten 15,000 times by men and boys. (Yes, that’s the right number of zeros.)
The same is true of Olympic, World, and U.S. Champion Allyson Felix’s 400 meters lifetime best of 49.26. Just in the single year 2017, men and boys around the world outperformed her more than 15,000 times.
This differential isn’t the result of boys and men having a male identity, more resources, better training, or superior discipline. It’s because they have an androgenized body.
The results make clear that sex determines win share. Female athletes – here defined as athletes with ovaries instead of testes and testosterone (T) levels capable of being produced by the female non-androgenized body – are not competitive for the win against males—here defined as athletes with testes and T levels in the male range. The lowest end of the male range is three times higher than the highest end of the female range. Consistent with females’ far lower T levels, the female range is also very narrow, while the male range is broad.
So instead of just hating men, they now hate women too? /half joking
Gross.
The problem is when the leftists force the idea that equal opportunity = equal results, and that if a certain number of girls participate then only an equal number of boys must be allowed to participate. These are among the abuses that have been made in the name of Title IX.
This allowing boys to compete as girls is only the latest.
I’m fine with this.
Real women have no business in athletics anyway.
Real women should be home in the kitchen fixin’ their man a sammich.
