Fifty years ago today, Title IX of the Educational Amendments of 1972 was signed into law, prohibiting schools or educational programs that receive federal funding from discriminating against anyone on the basis of sex. In that time, women have made incredible gains in education, which, in turn, have led to incredible gains in labor and employment — perhaps most visibly in sports.

It is difficult to be a wonam in today's America. A sitting supreme court justice can not define what a woman is. Drag queens much like the old black face routines mock woman making them appear to be whores or strippers. Woman must compete against men in sports. Now the whole women's movement and accomplishments are being diluted by the LGBTwhatever crowd.
Title nine has ruined boy’s sports in many locals where there aren’t enough girls who actually want to play.
The commies have perverted and redefined EVERYTHING to their dark agenda. There needs to be a Constitutional amendment banning all forms of Marxism. It’s COMPLETELY anti American. Period.
Title IX is a failure.
Correct. The war on boys and men continues.
Title IX is a unqualified success. It was intended to be a corrupting influence on American culture, and it has indeed been a very corrupting influence.
True in that respect.
I like how women are bitching about men in women’s sports.
Who do they think voted for all this feel good liberal shit?
Mirror sweeties…
Title IX has been a disaster, getting the federal government involved in local issues of the proper distinctions between boys and girls. It pushes a radical agenda which is beyond the scope of the constitutional powers of the federal government. It is time for the federal government to get out of all issues concerning both education and the natural relations between the two sexes.
“We” often speak of the unintended consequences of certain legislation, or of that legislation being abused.
I am now convinced that the authors of such legislation are in fact nefarious individuals using the power of law to subvert the Constitution and the culture. The “unintended consequences” were in fact foreseen and intended. The “abuse” is in fact the intended use.
It’s done it’s job. Let it have a happy retirement
Agreed.
In my time at college, you could generally sign up for a course if a seat was available and you met the prerequisites.
There was no ‘dangling bits’ exam.
Perhaps it might help to be female if seeking a dermatology residency, from what ads I’ve seen.
“sports”
Ah, I have a vision of the ladies spending their weekends glued to the tube chugging down Budweisers.
Amendment XVI embodies the Marxist plank of a (progressive) income tax.
Its not a success.
It proves a number of things the left and traditionalists don’t like to admit.
It should be done away with.
Just a form of taxation to redistribute money and forced social change
“It is difficult to be a womanin today’s America.”
Suppose I say it would be easier if a woman would be like she was put on earth to be and not try to be like a man as well.
One way or another everyone is discriminated against at one time or another, or it might seem like all the time, or the beef is that their entire race or culture is discriminated against.
Make an effort to bypass or ignore the discrimination. Don’t flaunt your differences. Be nice and respectful. Don’t wear yourself out with anger.
Title IX has been an unmitigated disaster.
Sbould never have been imposed on Americans in the first place.
Title IX is an unquestionable success, but more action is needed
FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument
Patriots are reminded that the only sex-related right that the states have amended the Constitution to expressly protect limits Congress's power to legislate sex-related protections for voting rights issues, evidenced by the 19th Amendment.
"19th Amendment:
The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex.
Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation."
"From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added]." —United States v. Butler, 1936.
Neither have the states amended the Constitution to give the feds the power to dictate INTRAstate schooling policy, another unconstitutional aspect of Title IX. No power to dictate intrastate schooling policy is evidenced by the following excerpts from the writings of Thomas Jefferson and Justice Joseph Story.
"10th Amendment: The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people."
“The great mass of the articles on which impost is paid is foreign luxuries, purchased by those only who are rich enough to afford themselves the use of them. Their patriotism would certainly prefer its continuance and application to the great purposes of the public education, roads, rivers, canals, and such other objects of public improvement as it may be thought proper to add to the constitutional enumeration of federal powers [emphasis added].” —Thomas Jefferson: 6th Annual Message, 1806." (Jefferson is indicating that Congress cannot tax and spend in the name of intrastate infrastructure imo.)
"The power to regulate manufactures is no more confided to congress, than the power to interfere with the systems of education, the poor laws, or the road laws of the states [emphases added]." —Justice Joseph Story, Commentaries on the Constitution 2, 1833.
Again...
"From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added]." —United States v. Butler, 1936.
Corrections, insights welcome.
Also, Trump's red tsunami of patriot supporters are reminded that they must vote twice this election year. Your first vote is to primary career RINO incumbents. Your second vote is to replace outgoing Democrats and RINOs with Trump-endorsed patriot candidates.
Again, insights welcome.
Title IX is feminazi nonsense. All law should be gender neutral.
