How "Gender Equity" Killed Male Athletics

But as I go to colleges with my daughter, I see the diminished opportunities for men in collegiate sports: the programs just aren't there. Yet the effort and expense the colleges go to in populating women's teams is unbelievable. Mediocre girls who clearly aren't as enthralled by sport are being offered full scholarships just to show up. The poor ratings and ticket sales of the WNBA should be an example. The right answer is clear: each candidate athlete ought to have the same chance of being EXCLUDED. That way, athletics would be funded on real student interest, not political correctness."

Fight fire with fire? (Score:1) by BusterB on Wednesday April 18, @04:09PM EST (#1) (User #94 Info) http://themenscenter.com/busterb/ Instead of arguing for fairness, why not use exactly the same tactics that CAL-NOW is using in order to kill programs that girls favour? Why not sue universities based upon the makeup of student councils, nursing schools, journalism schools, or English departments? Hell, why not take on schools over the makeup of the Women's Studies departments? If the feminazis are happy playing hardball with Title IX, why not play hardball right back? Of course, pressing lawsuits to make this happen would be expensive, but an enterprising university president could easily use this to effectively shut down Women's Studies by restricting the number of tenure positions in the department to, say, two, based on the number of tenured male professors teaching there.
