Ah, yes. Title IX was rad.
You're fooling yourself if think that's all we* need tho. "Babe, set and match: How looks count for more than talent when Wimbledon decides which girls will play on center court."
Oops, 'scuse me, centre.
Why are we calling women girls? Aren't we past infantilizing women by calling them girls?
And I won't even get into the obvious racism involved here as well.
*And by we I mean everyone, because even the dudes have wives, sisters, daughters, mothers, friends, girlfriends, cousins, doctors, teachers, etc. who have been negatively impacted and are still today impacted by sexism.

I agree with you, but I'm still waiting for the majority of women in women's figure skating, tennis, and gymnastics to actually be women instead of girls. I think it's as bad when an 18 year old in the Olympics is considered over the hill as a "woman" and not quite ready as a "man".
Word. There are some serious issues in gymnastics & figure skating.
