My sister in law was the Athletic Director at a universty here in Southern Calif when Title IX passed. I asked her if that meant that girls could go out for Men's Basketball to which she said, Yes! I then asked her if I could go out for the Women's Softball team to which she said, NO!

What's the legal case called? Or where did it happen? DC? North Carolina? I can't imagine ANY court not dismissing this case immediately. The military has something called "sovereign immunity" from suit. Check out 11th Amendment waivers and "tort" claims.

Why do you come in here and question something like this? Many of us lived through this with her. It is not a subject that we even care to relive as it was such a slap in the face but it did happen. If you wish to know more do some of that super secret legal research and enlighten your self with the facts and quit questioning QP's here in our house.
As you should know the law is not black and white there is a lot of grey and that is why a lot of stupid worthless suits are filed every year.
Remember you are a guest not the owner here.........

Did you miss the class on how do research while you were in law school?
Use the search feature in the upper right corner.

Does this visually summarize many of the points in this thread?
The Damn Few, Episode 16: Starship Sealy (AKA Women in the Infantry)
This video should be a must watch for everyone in Congress. Offensive language and all. This is perfect just as it is.

Nailed it! Hope that isn't viewed as a sexist comment.

more women?
Sigh....I was at Bragg when she-whose-name-shall-not-be-mentioned was blazing trails for women everywhere. "If asked any questions relating to....you will refer them to the Ft. Bragg PAO." Whatta pain.
My friend, George Miller, God rest his soul, was on duty at MacKall at the time of her foray into the Offficer's Course, and found the rucks that she and the other valiant orienteers had cached. They tossed the contents all over the grid square, and waited for the clever wannabes to return.
She even got to go to Bragg to do her laundry, as he said. George had related this story to me many times, replete with George's own stylistic vulgarities for panache.
Good Lord, I have not thought of that despicable person in a long time....and as posted before, it is not fun to wade through that set of offal-ridden memories.
As a recruiter, and in a class presentation or outdoor event, when told by young women that they could do as men do, I would lie down and tell them that as a medic, they need to pull wounded me to safety. Then the screams start in earnest as they pulled, or try to pull me. Worked all the time.
Lastly, say that women get into important roles, and, let us say, go on an MTT to some 3rd world hole where women have no worth. When they start teaching the male soldiers that they are charged with training, what money would ride on the fact that all the good guys wake up dead?

Female ranger course? Did I miss something in regards to them starting a course for them and them only?
God help us all when it hits us on our end. I may be a little bit of a conspiracy theorist, but I believe that there are a few hand selected GI Jane's that are already being groomed (when I say groomed, I mean being taught how to pass the course) in a secret bunker below somewhere.

Yeah Bro I think you definitely missed the memo. There is a box up in the right top that has a search function. 
But yes, RUMINT, four are planned to start in the spring courses.

Ouch. We went there huh?
Spring huh? I certainly hope that it ends up in an epic fail. Once again, a sneaking suspicion tells me that anyone who gets in the way of their success will be hidden for the rest of their career and or murdered and buried below the White House.
