In the news: Title IX
April 23rd, 2010 admin
By giving young women many more opportunities to compete in athletics Title IX made possible the awe-inspiring female athletes we see today. I am singularly grateful for that. Never far from it, Title IX was again in the news this week when the Obama administration, of course not without fanfare , announced that it was revising (or re-revising) the rules of compliance for colleges. I am not an expert on Title IX arcana…

Feminist VS Porn Industry...The term feminism can be used to describe a political, cultural or economic movement aimed at establishing more rights and legal protection for women. Feminism involves political and sociological theories and philosophies concerned with issues of gender difference, as well as a movement that advocates more gender-specific rights for women and campaigns for women's rights and interests.[1][2][3][4][5] Although the terms "feminism" and "feminist" did not gain widespread use until the 1970s, they were already being used in the public parlance much earlier; for instance, Katherine Hepburn speaks of the "feminist movement" in the 1942 film Woman of the Year.

You could have knocked me over with a feather when I learned that local television news hardly covers women’s athletics. But of course I jest. This I already knew—sans 20-year study and all. I must confess, however, to being caught unawares by one conclusion : “The peak was in 1999,” said [Cheryl Cooky, assistant professor of health...
But this good news comes with a caveat, reports the San Francisco Chronicle . Girls are hitting the weight room more than ever before, and not surprisingly that has come with a price—more injuries occurring in the weight room. The price, however, is a small one compared to the injuries to be prevented by girls’ building stronger, more durable...

I’ve always admired Jenny Thompson . It could probably go without saying that she is one of the greatest female athletes ever.

Bowling isn’t a sport I follow much, but this week it is on my mind, like so many others, thanks to Kelly Kulick and her win Sunday at the PBA Tournament of Champions .
