When even die-hard feminists find it rather difficult to grumble about today’s women’s collegiate sports, and before leisurely start crushing down yet another male sports in pursuit of statistical gender equality (ummm, what will be next target – wrestling again?), they started to complain about the status of female coach in the collegiate sports. Even though title IX was intended to help female students, in other words, kids, feminists don’t bother expanding the scope of the law to include female coaches, or adults, as long as it benefit them. Talk of a jump-wagon mentality. Well, since Title IX in feminists’ worldview was not merely meant to increase the number of women in sports at college level, but rather to introduce sweeping change in the patriarchal structure within universities, I guess it’s alright to use it as a weapon to advance their agenda. But still I think feminists may wish to stop infantilizing female adults and treating them like students or kids who need kid-glove treatment from large bureaucracy just to keep their existence, or otherwise male coaches will start seeing female coaches in the same level as students, who are and in the constant need of multiple layers of protection by multiple layers of bureaucracies (Federal, State and university). And I guess feminists don't want that to happen, right? Indeed my guess is that they will yell at men in shrieking voice again if that happens.
Look how hard it is to sack female coaches once they are installed in the position, valid evaluation of female coaches’ poor performance would not matter a bit in the eyes of feminist lawyers, as they can always present female coaches’ unsubstantiated allegations as evidence and paint the college as an institution that is “sexist”, a magic word that blow away any logic or reasoning. This is a point that anyone who is in a position to hire someone for a position should keep in mind – firing of affirmative action employees will be much, much harder than of non-affirmative action employees. In addition to the prospect of facing almost-certain lawsuits by feminist, they will get constant pressure from affirmative action office for meeting certain gender/racial quota for positions.
