What the naive “conservatives” hoped Title IX would be is irrelevant if Leftists wanted to use it to push to extremes, and the Courts went along.
“Conservatives” have been losing to the left for 100+ years because they agree on Leftist premises, and then quibble about the details.
eg. Men and women are equal and their college sports should be equal.
Well, men and women are NOT equal, certainly in athletic ability, and their sports should not be forced to be equal.
But “conservatives” of 1972, and even today are still too weak to reject Leftist premises, and assert the truth which is human inequality.
““Conservatives” have been losing to the left for 100+ years because they agree on Leftist premises, and then quibble about the details.”
That is the absolute truth!
It’s like what they want to do with “reparation”.
They start off with an innocuous thing like, let’s set a “bipartisan commission” to study the matter.
And the people from the “stupid party”, say, “well it’s just a study, and I definitely don’t want to be called a racist, so I’ll go along with the study.”
Little does this naive simpleton know that he just lost. He just accepted the premise that some reparation may be needed and that only the detail need to be worked out.
The left runs circles around us. They are ACTIVISTS, we are PASSIVISTS! That’s how they have wiped the floor with us in this culture war. And there’s little sign of that changing.
I’m disgusted to the max!
