I'm writing it up for here, LOL, and will post it soon. Maybe I'll try to put all my comments together in less wordy and enraged form and get it published somewhere. Fat chance, huh? But right now I am so furious I can barely think or see straight.

BTW, by Donna in your comment I assumed you meant de Varona - but what I said applies as well to Donna Lopiano.

I graduated from HS the month Title IX was made law, so it didn't make a difference to me personally. And since for college/uni I was in the first class of women at a previously all male school, we women had to build all our college sports programs from scratch - but Title IX did give us clout to do that and to argue against all the discrimination we faced and obstacles put in our way. However, Title IX had a huge impact on the treatment my younger sister and her friends got in school. Suddenly, girls in lower and middle school in our district started getting PE and doing things like running track and learning sports, whereas when I was in lower and middle school only the boys got PE - the girls got recess on the tarmac where we jumped rope, played hopscotch and played an ad hoc form of handball by whacking Pensie Pinkie balls or Spaldeens on a brick wall, LOL.

Fortunately, I had opportunity to do a ton of sports and sporting activities outside school: swimming, diving, water ballet, tennis, badminton, bowling, ice skating, roller skating, alpine skiing, distance bicycling and so on. I got a WSI and worked as a lifeguard, did some ski racing and taught skiing too. But I always regretted not having the opportunity for any school sports. My brother was a big school jock and went to college on a full athletic ride; I often wished I'd gotten the same chance. But in any event, I'd never be elite like the athletes in this policy group, the quislings.
