Entry #4

For my Vignette Draft I wrote about Gender Equality, Discrimination, and Double-Status.
Gender Quality is a big part of Title IX. The portrayal of gender in sports and the opportunities out there for college athletes of both genders is very important. To create more equality there not only needs to be added funds and support in that regard to women’s sports, but the overall interest and attention to the more “feminine” sports and specifically sports being played by females needs to increase. Title IX can help create gender equality in sports by applying laws and enforcing them on programs. The concept of gender equality in sports may be very hard for us to reach because our society has been formed around the feeling that masculinity is greater than femininity
Discrimination is an important part of Title IX because different sexes and races have a different experience with Title IX. Women often feel discriminated against in the athletic world because of the general expectation that sports are for men.Men also feel discriminated against through certain acts of Title IX, because ins some cases men's athletic programs are taken away in order to help women's athletic programs. Minority races also feel discriminated against and do not generally benefit very much from Title IX. 

While writing my Counter Argument: I grew to understand that point of view very well. I have debated adopting that point of view, as well as other counter argument worthy aspects of Title IX. It's interesting to hear about how Title IX can hurt different people in the college athletic world. I especially think it's interesting how it protects from sex discrimination but does not protect so much against race discrimination or helping out those of minority races.  I plan to incorporate  how Title IX affects men;s sports teams as well as how it doesn't particularly help out females of minority races. That was an epiphany to me and I think it's an important issue to address.
