y closer to 50/50 as far as Title IX is concerned. We could also make it law that schools can not bring themselves into compliance by cutting men’s sports. Girls want opportunities, but most do not want them at the expense of them men. While some feminist organizations would find fault in making a law to prohibit what has become known as “reverse discrimination”, taking from the men to make the women happy is just that... discrimination. Just because men have not been the ones who have traditionally been discriminated against, does not make them incapable of being the victim of discrimination. One other possibility, which the authorities tend to shy away from, is the removal of gender from all athletics. Our society seems to put so much emphasis on equality, why not make a true system of equality? If everyone who wanted to play athletics had to go out for the same team, it would make the level of competition the same across the boards. This process would weed out the week athletes and pit those who are vying for important scholarships directly against one another. This process would stop the ideas of inequality, since if there is only one program, the two genders would have pure equality. Those who are against this process claim this is unfair to girls, that they are the weaker sex and can not compete with the boys due to gender and genetic makeup. However, if you buy into the idea that a girl can not keep up with the boys, that a girl is not as “athletic” as the boys, are you not also buying into the idea that the feds were wrong when they made their assumptions about the interest level of the girls? Would less girls be interested in playing baseball if they had to play with the boys, what about basketball? It can be argued that those girls who are serious about their sport would not be deterred, and in fact may welcome this level of competition. If you disagree with leveling the playing field...
