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

NCAA's Brand: Don't fault Title IX for Future Cuts
Author: ASA News
Blog URL: allstudentathletes.com/.../ncaabrandtitleix
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.
I don't think anyone here is arguing that cutting men's swimming programs is a good way to equalize opportunity for women. None of us want to see men's sports cut.
But that is exactly the point that every single person on this forum (including myself) that I know and have talked to about this situiation has been trying to make... and yes at times with a little gas thrown on the first to liven it up.
GoBears your reaction to this is exactly what Whitten was writing about...no one...espeically a male can question a very well intentioned but shortsighted law that at a certain point in time was needed...has also been abused...without being called out as a woman hater!
