One of President Donald Trump's picks to serve on the Federal Reserve Board has written that women should be banned from refereeing, announcing or beer vending at men's college basketball games, asking if there was any area in life "where men can take vacation from women."

Correct. Title IX is communist redistributuon: equality of outcome.
Honestly, I would not have done... but then, I have the (dis-)advantage of living in Silicon Valley, and seeing these ideological cancers develop locally before they become systemic.
