Title IX helps girls, but leaves boys behind, women's advocate contends

At my uni, because of title IX, we have a women's lacrosse team and no men's lacrosse team. Idk if you've ever seen the difference between the two but, they basically are barely the same sport. Turn out at the club men's lacrosse games are much higher than the women's.

Actually, in her op-ed she does not really claim anything about Title IX - only that it has been used primarily with sports. Her view -- not unique -- is that we need to remember boys have different learning issues and we should ALSO be focusing attention on those. Fair argument -- regardless of what her politics are.

Woman in question is Carrie Lukas, from the Independent Women's Forum.

Mrs Lukas is very clearly right-wing (Princeton, Harvard, worked for the GOP and writes in Forbes).

The IWF's motto seems to be "All issues are women's issues", which can be understood in many ways.

Also, she's lived in Belgium, and now Germany, which could explain why she's not so steeped in American crazy.

.

Gender equality really seems to boil down to a merit vs free benefit divide, translating into a left - right issue.

In the US, Sanders seemed like he was rising above this, but hey, we saw what happened to him.

Women cannot ask to be equal members of men's institutions, spaces, disciplines, etc., and demand special protections above and beyond those which men receive, or even which they ask for or desire. Men are still naturally superior in all areas where the sexes are integrated because men face greater threats for stepping out of line, and have to rely on their own merits rather than others' desire to protect, defend and generally assist them.

Well, fair play to her for recognising it!

ANd someone is about to find out exactly what Warren Farrel went through.
