Let the Guys Win One

"Why is it so important to cling to the myth behind Title IX: that women need sports as much as men do?..."
Oh dear, where to begin?! Well, I'll ration myself to one point based on the one sentence reproduced above. Please note the rhetorical slight of hand he uses to put forward an incredibly questionable proposition. Mr. Tierney does not say straight up "women do not need sport as much as men do," and then spend the rest of the column trying to back up that statement. NOOOOO...he has to go one step beyond and assert at the outset that it is in fact a myth (and presumably all "right thinking" people already acknowledge this). Please ladies, trash this notion he is offering that somehow you folks don't "need sports" as much as men do. I'll leave that one to your tender mercies. I'll confine myself to observing that this so-called smart guy is beginning his erudite observations with the assertion that those who disagree with his thesis are not merely mistaken, but they are also stupidly "cling to the myth..." I'm not sure I'm missing very much because I don't have the subscription necessary to read the rest of the article.
