Let's keep cutting men's sports. Hey.... it's the economy now, not Title IX.
I find this reasoning amusing.

Description:
Brand expects some schools to drop men's teams in coming months because
of the economic downturn. He is urging them in advance to cite the
economy, not the law that bans sex discrimination at schools receiving
federal funds.
gobears, with all due respect, you seem to be the one who has your mind mind up. Just because I have heard from athletic, well-adjusted, well-educated women that the 50's were a pleasant time to live, and have bought into it, doesn't mean I am anti-woman. When you speak of another woman contemptuously that is not on the bandwagon screaming that Title IX is the best thing that ever happened, then you are beginning to get a little extreme.
I will remain convinced that the 50's were a pleasant time in our history. I don't think that means I am closed-minded towards the progress of women in athletics.
By the way, I used to say that "feminazi" was a term insecure men used to describe successful womem.
Whoa, there! All I said was that the conversation reminded me of that particular thread, for Heaven's sake! I was not condemning you personally! Didn't mean to offend. If you love the 50's, fantastic. More power to ya'.
Now, as to the subject of this particular thread: would you agree that Title IX is inherently evil and solely intended to propagate a liberal feminist world-view? Or would you be willing to say that the way athletic departments choose to handle Title IX (a relatively neutral attempt to even the athletic playing field) and the way they heavily favor football over any other sport is the main problem?
