[Vision2020] needy boy athletes

[keely emerinemix]

Isn't it more than a little odd that you would assume that if the young 
women chose not to go out for sports at Logos, it was to "let the men catch 
up"?

Are the men that needy?

Are the women that enabling?

Methinks you reveal much in your comments.  Could it be -- and, having been 
a high school athlete, I'm just tossing this off the top of my head -- that 
they didn't WANT to play the sports that were offered?  Maybe they didn't 
like the coach?  Is it possible that their parents said "no" to sports 
because their grades were low?   Uniforms dorky?  Practice schedules in 
conflict with other obligations?  Fear that fullcourt basketball would cause 
their uteruses to jar out of place?

To automatically conclude that it was, in fact, to "let the men catch up" 
reveals that you don't think much of your future men, who evidently haven't 
heard that wonderful adage from the 70s:

"Men of quality aren't threatened by women's equality"

Goodness.  If Doug is right, maybe we need an intervention for the poor boys 
of puny chest at Logos.  On the other hand, Doug is rarely right, so I'm 
guessing the boys are just fine.

So it WAS because the mature young ladies, using free will, chose to allow 
the young men to catch up.

Is that allowed in this egalitarian age of understanding?

Doug!

To be fair, I heard that not enough girls signed up . . .

I thought I saw Logos girls' sports highlighted in the Latah Eagle just
recently.  Have they really cancelled them?  Would someone from Logos
explain why?  And are parents supportive of the diminished program for their
dauaghters?  I know Title IX rules don't apply to private schools, but
doesn't Tom, the principal, or don't the men on the school board, have some
appreciation of gender equity for the students in their school?  I wonder if
there are certain academic classes closed to girls, as well.
