In 1972, U.S. Congress passed Title IX, a law which prohibited discrimination against women in schools, colleges, and universities -- including school-sponsored sports. Before this law, female athletes were few and far between, and funding was even scarcer. Erin Buzuvis and Kristine Newhall explore the significance and complexity of Title IX.

This video badly needs a revisit.

Might be a lil too transphobic for American classrooms
I am all for equality, which is why I need to mention that part of this law creates inequality; namely proportionality. The quotas mandated by this rule do not take into account student-athletes' interest and abilities. As a NCAA Div I Track & Field athlete (a sport that enjoys close ties between its male and female teams) I saw men with great talent and passion turned away while not so competitive women reluctantly stayed on because they were given scholarships. -I am out of room for this post.
Wow, really? Strange. The law clearly focused on equality of opportunity but not proportionality. It should not have caused the proportionality you are describing.
@@chenmarkson7413 this was known long ago
Countless popular male sports teams were forced to fold so they could expand female sports that no one cares about and bring in no money
Where have you been
In Biology we know that men are built more muscular then Women so by letting Men compete in Women sports is giving Women a disadvantage. That is why there is Men ,and Women basketball ,and Men ,and Women soccer are separated. There few sports that should be unisex like American Football, but some sports should keep the Men ,and Women separated such as Basketball, soccer, Wrestling, and Hockey.
brotha, FOOTBALL of all sports should absolutely not be unisex, are you insane @@ltakethefatlplease.3380
The problem is not the school. Not many girls like playing sport. Every time i have gym, I’m the only girl playing basketball during recess while the other girls are sitting down on the bench pressing their phones.
The dislikes are related to how Title XI has negatively changed the situation for boys without a correspondingly sizable change for girls. Thus, the law resulted in a large net loss for children.
the law is silly, women don't care about sports and that is why the WNBA is funded by the NBA because women don't watch NBA, is against the nature of women.
Vejo que todos são seres humanos e todos possuem os mesmos direitos. E são capacitados em suas edeologias de vida, só temos que apoiar o que vale a pena, porque o que vale a pena é bom.
The thing is that regardless of amount of girls that want to partake in ex. tennis all the girls should get opportunity. Even if you hate soccer wouldn't it make you insane to know that you are not allowed to play?
I would love if more boys were into cheerleading. The law gets them the equal opportunity.
What i think you don't understand is that the law doesn't force schools to reduce the amount of boys playing, it forces schools to give a girls team the same money the boys team get.
UndergroundPebbles
I understand the law, but since men have more interest in sports, there teams have to be reduced.
I am a Kinesiology teacher, coach and have a master's degree. I have spent my whole life in sports, first as an athlete in high school and then college and now as a teacher and coach. I have a working knowledge (practical application) on Title IX and gender equality...but don't claim to be an expert. We can always learn more!
This video is a general explanation of Title IX. Many negative comments posted I believe are due to not fully understanding the law and how it is suppose to be enforced on high school and college campuses. It is not always exact numbers at every school but providing opportunities for girls to play sports if they so choose. It increases opportunities to play sports AND get scholarships to play in college. I am a product of Title IX! I grew up thinking I could play any sport I wanted and it was normal. I received a scholarship to run in college as well. My mother was the generation that did not have those same opportunities. It was not a norm to see girls and women play which my mother shared was a missed opportunity for her.
The only loss to boys sports (usually at the college level) was mostly and the beginning and due to the lack of the university to support and put money into women's sports. It forced them to really take a look at their athletic program and see where gender biases were happening. That's a GOOD thing, even if it cost them in the beginning. However, today most universities and schools have only know Title IX and follow the regulations without any problems. If your school is losing male sports...something is wrong.
Sidenote: to the comments regarding unfairness at your school. Yes, you should speak up! Some sports teams will do fundraisers and have donations to their booster clubs. This does not affect Title IX. If they hustle, they deserve the money. However, each school has an allotted "pot" for all athletics where they are to provide uniforms, equipment, etc. fairly between all teams, both boys and girls. Of course, there is always a budget and some years they have more than others to spread...because it comes from the state.
And yes, girls play on our football team and we have male cheerleaders....
In New Zealand where I went to school sports was great for girls and boys and it was very equal and if a girl wanted to play a sport that didnt have a female team for different reasons (ie lack of interest) she'd be able to join the boys team. Even Rugby.
Rugby. Good luck with that 🤣🤣
@@russellziske7385 we used to play mixed gender touch rugby.
The thing I don't get is that we can't have a sports team officially tied to the school unless there are women interested in the game. I get that there needs to be a team for the girls so they can play on a fair level with other girls. Lacrosse, for example, doesn't have a huge interest level for girls at my high school. And because of that, there is no way that we can even get it part of the school. It's not discriminating against women and barring them from playing the sport, and it's simply just not popular among girls and that completely destroys the whole reason to increase school spirit.
In Biology we know that men are built more muscular then Women so by letting Men compete in Women sports is giving Women a disadvantage. That is why there is Men ,and Women basketball ,and Men ,and Women soccer are separated. There few sports that should be unisex like American Football, and cheerleading but some sports should keep the Men ,and Women separated such as Basketball, soccer, Wrestling, and Hockey.
I play softball and most girls don’t play softball, so we couldn’t have a softball season, but we were given the opportunity to plsy baseball with the boys.
I’m a male and I can’t join my dance team bc it’s a “girl sport”. This law is only one sided. So women can join men’s team (even if there’s women’s) but if there’s no men’s team then men can’t join women’s. Now that’s sexist the world is changing and people need to realize that you can’t limit students participation in sport bc of gender.
Title IX does not require the exact same sports for both boys and girls; rather, it requires equal opportunity for both.
Well considering Men, and Women are built different because Males are born with Testosterone so that means if Males compete in sports designed for biological women that means that would take away college scholarships from Women cause they are being taken away from biological Women. For example Women's Wrestling is made for biological women so if you have a Biological born man saying he is a Women that would give him a unfair advantage, and he would take away scholarships from women. I like Women's sports, women's track is huge at my school, so I would like to preserve the fairness of it. Stop trying to take away scholarships from Women, and let them have an equal playing field. If you actually you watched or cared about sports you would know why we need segregation. ruclips.net/video/-ym42lV1ka8/видео.html ruclips.net/video/iJe82yniZQo/видео.html
You can join dance teams just go to a local dance school or join your schools cheer team. My old high school only had a Rockettes type of team so idk what to do besides those two things
Oh please, my daughter, who was on the color guard had a boy on the team. In 2007.
🙄welp now you can, are you happy?
I needed a refresher on the history of title ix, and i had a hunch ted would have a vid :)
When you seek equality for it's own sake, then, like this, you play the system as if it's a zero sum game and everyone loses. The failure, in something like this, could be traced directly to the easiest to meet performance indicator. And with no 'investment floor' (the dramatic fall in male participation) the law can easily be seen as a failure.
Would you care to tell me why we don't apply this same approach to battery shelter/support groups?
In the US, about 40-50% of funding for womens battery shelters is given by federal government. The same can't be said for men. In addition to that, some of previously mentioned shelters will not allow any men (sometimes not even allowing boys over the age of 16)
Keep in mind as well, domestic violence closely affected by both sexes (about 40/60). So, why aren't we applying the same rules there?
Wrong, they get to choose tests. Try again, Smith. And if one of them are feeling unequal enough to seek official sanction then it may be a real problem.
Is there an update to this since the new regulations went into effect?
This is an educational channel. If they have the resources necessary to educate the people, they will do it. It does not matter what the subject is, education is still education. I am sorry if you dont understand this. But if you do not find this to be interesting, I am sure that you can find some other video on this channel that takes your fancy.
Men are much more interested in sports and it is not even close. We should NEVER base the funding's proportionally.
"Women accounted for 51 percent of exercise (i.e., non-competitive) participations but only 24 percent of sports participations. "

Hi! I’d like to ask a question. This is for anyone to answer. I’m a female athlete at my school that doesn’t have a proper place to wait for my sport. The boys basketball team was allowed to come into their locker rooms and wait. There’s three of my friends who almost got detention for being in the locker rooms. Is this something I should help one of my friends write a letter to the front office about? Leave suggestions and advice in the comments. It’s very much needed.
Absolutely write a letter. Better yet, talk to someone in administration face to face and follow up so you can make sure something is done about it since it can be easily overlooked.
Why play with the boys in the first place?
Makes me think of “Princess Nine”, but title nine doesn’t exactly answer my question about Boys vs Girls.
"How dare other people see the problems they're facing because of years of the exact opposite of fairness. I don't see a problem or encounter this in my experience, so it's definitely not a problem! All that matters are my experiences." -Savannah E

Look at the unfairness men receive in the family courts. When will that change?
Todos são capacitados!
Just have sports not mens and womens, combine them and the best people will make the teams if you can't make the team you don't play.
Men and women have a completely different physical build, and because men can put on more muscle or women can be slimmer, that changes how the game is played. Men are just built bigger, it's a fact. Having men and women play against each other isn't equal
Don't tell that to Trans people.
I think that we should not separate the genders and by joining the genders
todos nós vivemos em um mundo global, pena que algumas pessoas somente agora é que se convenceram.
Many European/Asian countries don't have such things.
If someone wants to do certain sports he can join a sports group, sports club, or a separate, dedicated sports school.
All depending on the level of involvement and potential.
General schools are there to teach science and sports clubs at schools are always extra curriculum activity.
Funny that this sort of system never had any gender inequality problems.
A blind girl playing golf is probably and usually a, Oh I don’t know, a...
Blind decision to make.
Lol😂😂
This is an inevitable outcome when a government tries to enforce something, that is an opportunity, chance and choice relevant.
- Because not all people are grown with sports in focus:
as you pointed out men tend to be more active in this regard.
- Not all people have the physique to perform well in sports: not that they shouldn't try, just some people have no genetic predisposition for professional sports career and that is just nature - no laws can fix it.
- Not all people want to be athletes.
A lot of Girls get discouraged too.
I guess the difference is how we interpret equal opportunity. Your system works if an equal number of both boys and girls want to take part. However that is not the case, and that is a reality that must be addressed. As I said, this is the same as reducing the number of girls in cheer-leading because there's too many compared to the number of boys. Another issue not addressed is that male sport events bring in far more revenue, on average. Reducing these teams therefore hurts the schools.
CJEJTHEDJ
But does girls cheerleading trans get reduced?
my low quality hockey team played a exhibition game against a regional girls team that was going to provincials,
was a nice game for fun.
half of our team didn't decide to show up, including our goalie. but we played anyway and used one of theirs.
we had a lineup of 9 vs 24, we lost but nobigdeal was just for fun.
after their coach came into our dressing room and put us down, tanked us for losing and laughed at us. it was the most demoralizing thing to ever happen to me in my life...
Education is there to teach people how to live in the world, but it can't guarantee financial security. How can someone compete with a machine?
I suspect because it is another USA-centered video from TEDed
Some of this is flawed. I'm not a sports expert, but things like new uniforms and equipment don't always come from school funds. Sometimes the teams will fund themselves.
Therefore it's fallible to assume that if one team is getting new things it's unfair. It's a question on the source of their funds (i.e. if schools give to one team, other teams should receive relatively the same, but if parents/players of a team fund themselves, they should not and do not have to pay other teams as well.)
but isnt there a mix of boys ang girls teams before a certain age? We have that in futbol at least here in Spain. Obviously becomes a problem later on, but is that not applied in the USA?
no one cares about your silly country my guy
sharing is always better.
Just because most of the parents can go to games Fridays, doesn't mean that all of them can... And just because is better to play in a good field, doesn't mean that they should grow accustomed to it...
What about the criticisms of titke IX? How it is old, out if touch, places underserves limits on the student athlete, burdons the institutions who sponser them, and thus have to cut sports which would otherwise receive nuch support and participation. Title IX originally opened doors. Now it is shutting them. this law has served its purpose.
(cont)
The answer is that this is not because the school is enforcing gender equality, but due to the fact that competitions have male and female separated into different category (sexism?), which is why the school is separating them.
They shouldn't HAVE to exist.
But until the world starts accepting how things work we do reallt NEED laws like this.
Society won't fix anything without help.
Do you think homosexuals were allowed to marry without a law that says they are? They shouldn't have had that privilege taken from them in the first place. But we need to fix the problems we have inflicted.
Thank you!
My school - Adabistan-e-Soophia provided better sports coach to high school and college girls. They had big ground and grassy area. They always won Inter school competitions whereas boys had no coach when women were into training.
Perfect example.
There are certain sports that are far more attractive to males, and vice versa.
That equality law does not take genuine interest into account, and thus fails it's intended role.
Sports club based system (like for example Japan and most of European countries have) is a far superior system in terms of giving people fair and equal opportunities.
In fact, ironically, this law creates more inequality!..
Title 9;forcing schools to subsidise girls and women's sports programs even when the girls and women they're being obligated to supply the funding to the programs for aren't interested enough to try out for them.Which fucks over the boys and men who do want a sports program since Title 9 means that if the girls and women don't want it,they can't have it either.Which to Feminists is the definition of completely fair.
nice video when im at school
Humans need a written laws, morals, and standers to life by.
I don't think number should play a huge role in equality for sports, especially as a quota. I think here, quality is more important to focus on than quantity. If no girls are interested in tennis, then then no girls like tennis and the school shouldn't be punished for that. But I agree that girls should have the same quality of time in sports. If girls like basketball, then they must receive similar equipment and play time. But having to hit a quota just sucks.
y soo many dislikes? I kind of learned stuff.
HERE BECAUSE OF REPUBLIC POLY!!!
I think everybody should be exactly equal. Minimal differences are only allowed to praise the leader.
cf.collectorsweekly.com/uploads/2013/02/ParadeReit.jpg
Title IX all the way...
The proportionality part is absurd. A larger percentage of boys want to be in sports, and sports for boys tend to have larger teams. I hate how "equality" causes a lack of it for others. How about forcing proportionality for number of cheerleaders? Yes, this is that badly thought out.
What are people hating about?
TheSpainCarlos
The double standard!
This issue has the same solution as most other issues concerning discrimination. People should create foundations where everyone is oblivious to the sex or race of their fellow man. Positive discrimination is just as problematic as negative discrimination for some. Sport, employment and everything else should be genderless. In sport, there should be mixed team, completely decided by the level of skill alone. :)
Then there'd be no women in sports
that is an idea devoid of logic and reason, because ignores biology, look at the results professional women teams of soccer and other sports compete against high school teams of boys and they lose like the Australian women's team. or look at every pro league that has admitted trans-women, the trans-women destroy the women in every sport and the trans-men can't even qualify. I read a story about a trans-men who competed in wrestling in the female league and he dominated there but when made the transition to the male league he said that with women he could undo their grip fast but with men it feels like a steal chain he can't break with his own hands. Why because men and women are not the same and we all know it that is why no one cares about female sports because we all know the level in men sports is superior.
Title 9 is good but, it eliminated a lot of sports. Now the only college with my sport, is states away.
Equality of opportunity is important, but a 50-50 ratio of male and female participants does not indicate equality. If there is twice as much interest in basketball from boys than there is for girls, a larger amount of effort should be dedicated to boys. Likewise if there is more interest from girls in a sport, more effort and funding should go towards that.
I honestly don't understand your stance from this comment. Well my answer is no for the first 2 questions. Basically it sounds like you believe in equal opportunity for everyone, which is what I stated.
I don't agree with title ix. The male Athletics programs at the college I attended generates 90% of the revenue yet the have to pay for the womens facilities and programs. Your program should pay for it own needs. The boys team will fill the stadium and the girls team can't fill it halfway even when they give away 1500 tickets. They get to use the same faculties and support staff but the coaches and equipment are paid for by the men's team. Travel expenses are paid for by the men's team. The women's athletic scholarship programs are funded by the mens football team. Why do women get to steal from mens programs and it's called equal.
There are no laws that says you can't compete against women. Maybe you can start one? whether or not it will be a success will be another matter
Tough subject. But men are generally more into sports than women. Men also play at the highest level thus making it more interesting to watch the best teams. So following marketing efficiency, men that participate on the highest level will always get more.
If women were beating men on that sport, they should get more and better equipment and support.
But on an amateur level I agree it should be equal depending on the amount of participants.
Being a girl, I've never play outdoor games, it affects physical health & now you don't even know how to play😔
Great idea. Why don’t each sport take care of its self. Sink or float.
Yup, I know theory...
According to WHO sex is something biological and gender a social construct to identify us as "male" or "female"
However, in practice any time I hear about "gender" it's usually about "women" (and once in a while LGBT's). The main problem with some feminists confuse those men who in the past treated and in Middle East treat women like shyte with respectful and loving sons, brothers, husbands, and friends.
Let's see how TED feels about this now.
im all for equality, but sorry boys sports are just more exciting to watch
Chi qui perché deve tradurre il testo come compito di educazione civica?
Well, then I mean the kids with high potential that are serious.
And still amateurs should be equal. :)
Good intentions gone bad. I know athletic girls who have played some sports in the past in high school and later as I went to college. However most just lose interest, not because of sexism or patriarchal society but just they have other things going on. Women have better things to do than be a sports participant in high school and be a sports fanatic the rest of their lives. It's the 40 year old beer belly of a man who played in high school that follows sports like a religion. Sports aside though, title IX has gotten out of control and sooner or later it's going to blow up in everyone face.
In the beginning is the girl holding the golf club blind?
Wait nevermind. SHe was just wearing sunglasses
Proportionality is an issue that only increases inequality by encouraging those who do not want to take part of something and taking the funds away form those who are really interested. Why aren't we encouraging more males to be nurses? Is that fair? People have to understand women and men have different interests and pushing sports into women just for the sake of a glorified "gender equality" is not helping to develop their true interests.
The girl played with boys in my city
Let me guess that means no Women went to college on a scholarship cause it was taken by guys
Now wrestling, froshsoph, football, and lacrosse are not available at my school. Thanks girls, it's not like you have a higher percentage of scholarships or fucking graduation or anything.
You're 100% correct. What if we force the schools to have an equal number of men and women. Feminists wouldn't like that one bit.
time for a new video lmao
Now title 9 gives trans boys the right to play in girl sports... good job
I always wanted to join the girls wrestling team in college. Nada.
As far I poorly understand gender usually mean feminine!
Title IX started off with good intentions, but now has gone to shit. Good peer-reviewed studies have shown that less women participate in competitive sports than men. Many women simply choose to do other activities and sports. Howard University had 67% female students but ~45% female athletes. They already cut a few men's team and added a few women's team, but they simply couldn't find enough women to participate in competitive sports. While it was a fitting thing to put into place at the time, it isn't anymore.
Or at least refine it that for every one male equals three or four female athletes rather than the current one male athlete to one female athlete.
A Dog Swimming
I saw a video by Christina Hoff Sommers who mentioned that.
Right? So strange
This is going to be blown out of proportion, what happens at schools with 65%+ female attendance in college? 65% of the athletes will be girls? Unlikely. This program assumes that 100% of girls are playing sports, which ends up overcompensating and creating excess space for GIRLS. The more sports you take away from boys at the college level, the less likely boys are going to attend those schools and we're going to end up with a lot of 80-90% female majority in colleges and a lot of unhappy girls/boys.
+KidChillin Yes, but how is title ix taking sports away from boys?
well lets see, say that a university has a female student body of 90%. this automatically means that 90% of sports teams have to be female. now schools have to compensate for that. in doing so they have to open up more programs for woman and take away programs for men, thus taking sports away from boys. this is bad because most sports dont attract woman and the ones that manage to attract any woman dont attract many woman, statistically woman arent very attracted to sports and this is unfair to men.
COMMANDER CARWASH but men have always had programs... if you have 90% population of one group, shouldn't that mean that the 90% should be adequately represented? Or are you suggesting that the 10% are more important and fuck those talking vaginas... they can all go look pretty for you cause you're so fucking important with that wiener between your legs.
COMMANDER CARWASH this system has always been VERY fair to us. In fact it's always favored us. I don't think you understand how statistics works. Statistics change over time. If you look at the proportion of women going into sports, over the past few decades, it's been increasing, and increases with a positive correlation coefficient with the budget put into the programs. So if your hypothesis is that women statically (not a typo) do not play sports as a result of gender, you're assuming the null that budget and gender participation of women have no correltation. And if you control for population increase of women going into college in general, along with population increase in people on earth, you still get a higher correlation coefficient between participation and budget than anything else. So you reject the null. Your hypothesis is incorrect.
COMMANDER CARWASH And even if your hypothesis is that the parameters of the population, rather than the statistic of a sample, is that women are just less likely to go into sports, given a 50-50 population partition between men and women, and 50-50 budget partition between men and women, the hypothesis is still unlikely to be tested properly, considering that the statistics, which you'd be using to approximate the parameters, would tell you nothing about attitudes regarding women going into sports. Attitudes within nuclear families, regarding participation of their daughters in sports...
So yes, you're right. Women are less likely to go into sports, but you should question whether or not this is a static, immutable state of the nature of being a woman or if it's a result of attitudes throughout history, which vary over time and geography.
Mind being intelligence
I think they confused the word "equal", if they were treated "equally" then they wouldn't have a separate girls team. There is still segregation, as long as their is a girl's team, and a boy's team. Black people don't have separate bathrooms anymore, but girls still do, why? Because they are not equal. If you think men and women are equal, then you are bi-sexual. And if you refuse to have sex with someone your sex, then that is sexually discrimination. (Now bring on the down-votes...)
Start a unisex sports club and require 50/50 male/female.
This is a very basic understanding of equality. A lot of the points mentioned in the video were very circumstantial.
In Biology we know that men are built more muscular then Women so by letting Men compete in Women sports is giving Women a disadvantage. That is why there is Men ,and Women basketball ,and Men ,and Women soccer are separated. There few sports that should be unisex like American Football, and cheerleading but some sports should keep the Men ,and Women separated such as Basketball, soccer, Wrestling, and Hockey.
Most countries don't. It is just a ridiculous american idea that school and sports are the same thing. In my country sport is a completely separate identity from the school, and being good at sports can get you into sports college, not a regular college.
Yes, but how do you get 8 billion people competitively creating? It just can't be done. They can probably get society down to 10,000 creative people, and 8 billion people that have everything done for them by machines...
This is quite informative and the art well done, what's with all the dislikes?
The comment under urs says it all!
wen generally do a lot more sports in school than women in the first place
I think that the opportunities should be there, but there's this bizarre idea of forcing interest in women's sports. If people don't want to watch, you can't force them, and you can't call them sexist, it's up to women to step up. if women can't play as well, then that's too bad, it's a free market out there.
Who else got title 9 before?
You're not held down with your eyes held open, but it's pushed on you. Some guy's video I was watching the other day, was complaining that the headlining match in a ufc (ultimate fighting championship) event was women, despite the fact that the women weren't in the same league. He couldn't opt out for paying for it, unless he missed the fight he really wanted to see. We see women only computer game teams promoted like hell, over much more competent teams. It's the game that interests me.
people well feminist mostly are just finding it difficult to swallow but gender equality cant apply to each and everything as someone here said, there's this bizarre idea of forcing interest in women's sports, its just not that much interesting as men's sport ... and i have seen typically that out of a lot of girls, only a few girls out of te whole class actually interested/eager to play sports ... i think whatever schools n colleges are providing is adequate to bring forward who r interested .
I think the only sports that allow men and women together are volleyball and baseball!
Then why don't we have super famous female athletes? Why don't we have professional female footballers/baseball/basketball players. Well we do, but no one watches it so it doesn't make the same money. Reduced ticket sales/advertising means less funding.
"Separate but equal is inherently unequal"
why is there a girls team and a boys team? why not single teams of mixed gender?
I come from the future and I have very bad news for women in sports. I can't explain it now because here it's 2013 and you'll think I'm crazy. I know it doesn't make any sense but remember this: there are two biologically determined genders. Hasta la vista.
Im trying very hard to see if you’re being sarcastic or not
@@williamwhere1603 If I wouldn't be being sarcastic then I would be actually trying to talk to people from 2013 via RUclips's comment section.
You know trans people existed in 2013 right?
I really enjoyed this video. My students view engaged throughout the video. Even though it was only less than 5 minutes it discussed and explained the complexities of Title IX.
Anika Barclift did you explain how the proportion of enrollment has no bearing on the level of interest in sports at a school... so it's discriminatory against boys if more of them want to play?....
Do you understand, Hugh, that if the girls had more opportunities, the interest will go up? that's the point of Title IX.
Melissa Dinsio
But they don’t have the interest. It’s that the case push Title IX into nursing and teaching, give men scholarships for that?
Why public-fund sports in the first place? For anyone? What about funding self-directive learning? If people could collectively learn real-world skills more prevalently, such as communication skills team? Or collaborative enterprises? Teaching macro-world-scope about environmental relationships with industry and the self? Why not teach more community based sustainability classes and clubs? It's been awhile since I was in school, but all I had to pick from was sports, computers, and auto-tech.
Yes, they need to recreate our education. Required classes should be decreased, and electives should fill out our grades. I for one must have missed the "how to get a job class", with %30 unemployed, you'd think someone would look at the definition of "education", and redesign what we call "education" to actual educate where it's needed.
Gender does not mean feminine. :D
Gender summary:
Gender is your biological sex, male, female (or intersex).
Gender identity is NOT what's between your legs, it's how you identify
Cisgender = male and penis, Woman and vagina
Transgender ≈ Male and vagina, female and penis. (there are variations.
Theres also the people who don't identify as any of them. (Thirdgender)
Then there's gender roles, the thing we don't like, the ideas we push upon people based on what they have between their legs.
My high school had more girls sports than boys sports, and I feel that I am encouraged to shut up about it. Title IX applies to both boys and girls, and the video does a terrible job of explaining this.
pero les ganamos en fuerza por eso no pueden poner a pelar a una mujer contra un hombre por que muere la pobre
Why do they think all boys were raised to be rough? I know girls who never did light playing.

There are a lot more boys than girls in sports, it's quite simple though, it has nothing to do with discrimination, plain and simply, generally boys like sports more than girls and I don't think it's fair or just to sacrifice boys quality of sports or to force girls to participate.

Feminists will consider you a traitor to your gender for saying that. They’re like that!
