How does the elimination of 171 boy's wrestling teams (Thanks to Title IX) equal "gender equality"?

Question

Of course it's all supposed to be about 'proportionality'. So if more boys voluntary take part in sports activities due to equal opportunity, to enforce 'equal outcome' the colleges are either sued, or the teams are disbanded, to allow more girls to enter these activities. Now isn't that quota messed up? Equal opportunities should not lead to equal outcomes being mandatory forced by law.

Answer 1

Saying that the really popular sports fund the less popular ones isn't necessarily true. I've seen examples on a smaller scale at the local schools in my area. All the money is spent on the popular sports and the less popular ones are left to fend for themselves. For example, our local football team gets new uniforms every year. They also get to travel to out-of-town games in the fanciest air-conditioned tour buses. Meanwhile, those who participate in the less popular sports activities have to make do with old uniforms, old equipment, and they have to get their parents to drive them when they need to play in out-of-town tournaments. They also have to hold bake sales and other fundraisers to buy new equipment or to pay for their trips.

Answer 2

Title IX was meant to bring women's sports up to the level of quality and opportunity of men's sports. Unfortunately, many schools did not want to aid women in this way, so they cut away from men's sports instead. This is a classic example of why we need to be more careful of loopholes when writing laws and such.

Answer 3

Feminists abusing children, why am I not surprised ?

Answer 4

I totally agree with your point. Equal opportunities is just that - your chance to compete with the best, not your right to handicap everyone better than you.

Edit

We should keep these guys at all costs

Answer 5

Just like the feminist attack college football stating it spends too much money?. but it is college football that funds the other money losing college sports.

I say we do away with gender sports teams. Allow the best to fill the positions regardless of gender.  I really do not believe that one, but I am starting to like the idea.

Answer 6

Short answer... it doesn't.

Title IX is one of the dumbest laws ever passed. I can see their intentions were in the right place, but the way they went about it was moronic.

Answer 7

Genders can only be equal if one is held to the limitations of the other.

Answer 8

Sounds to me like 171 boys lost out on sports scholarships and maybe a college education.

Answer 9

Yeah, that's stupid.  I understand where they are coming from, but they need to just offer more programs for girls, not take away from boys.  They can't make an even number of boys and girls go out for sports.

Answer 10

They should disband student governments in the same manner if it's all about equality as they are primarily populated by females.

Really I don't think they should do for either but if you are going to do it to one; it should be done to both.
