'While there is so much to celebrate during Women’s Sports Week, thanks to...Title IX, this is also a time to acknowledge the fight to save women’s sports... This is modern-day feminism, and America needs to wake up.' -Riley_Gaines_ & PaulaYScanlan
While there is so much to celebrate during Women’s Sports Week, thanks to the enactment of Title IX, this is also a time to acknowledge the fight to save women’s sports and the dangerous times women in which women are living. We are in this fight together, not because we want to be but because we faced situations that gave us no choice.
If you have eyes, a brain, and any amount of common sense, you can easily comprehend the fact that men, on average, are faster, taller, more powerful, stronger, and can jump higher than women. It’s not “anti”-anything to say so. In fact, pointing out this simple fact embraces years of scientific research and biological reality. Denying it denies the truth.
If these threats to women do persist, the integrity of women's sports is lost. But even more importantly, women will continue being erased as a whole.Less than half of all states have enacted some form of legislation to protect single-sex athletic participation and equality for girls in sports. Moreover, the majority party in control of both the White House and the United States Senate is turning a blind eye to women and rejecting what should be a bipartisan effort to protect females.
This is not what women’s rights advocates fought for when, in 1972, Congress passed Title IX, a law that ultimately provided a generation of women and girls — ourselves included — with athletic and academic opportunities previously out of reach. What we are witnessing today is an undoing of the progress that so many women athletes and our allies fought for.
