Your premise is entirely flawed. Some of us don't consider it getting screwed when women get the same sporting opportunties as men. As long as our universities dole out 60+ scholarships for football, the whole Title IX bashing argument is entirely moot.
The Robin Hood angle has been nicely used for many hundreds of years now to justify the exclusion of certain groups for various opportunities. Generally, once modern culture advances past this notion, we are all improved. I don't know many people who would espcially enjoy being referred to as poor and needy and in dire need of saving, other than Stud in his 100 free, but that's another story.
Sweet, the title IX argument is back on....I don't think you answered the question. If you are so concerned about fairness, how is it fair that women swimmers get more scholarships than men at many swimming programs? Maybe we should just litigate every school into oblivion.
It also could be asked, what is fair? Does fair mean equal numbers? Is participation in sports (where males outnumber females) a result of the white man's oppression or simply a result that we were created differently and may have different propensities? I suspect the truth lies somewhere between.
Your premise that modern culture has advanced and therefore able to accept the communal property (robin hood), peace, love, and understanding is probably false as evidenced by my patient yesterday complaining of "missing panties"--found in her rectum . I like the ideal of fairness, high culture, and high-mindedness, but my daily experience would argue otherwise.:blah:
