1. After Title IX law saw the light, women were able to seize more opportunities and fully express themselves in all fields. They were able to compete with men in many different events and even surpass them sometimes. More surprisingly, women were able to break world records and carve their names at the top of the charts. It was an extremely beneficial law for them and they have proved that they also could work, compete and succeed. They have definitely exceeded a lot of expectations
2. A lot of men see this law as a big disadvantage towards them because they now share equal opportunities with women. Men who oppose this law and think that it should be abolished are afraid that their chances will reduce if women shared everything with them.
3. People share the same rights and should all have equal opportunities. Men aren’t better than women, we are only two different genders, but whoever commits, works hard and fights can succeed and excel. Women shouldn’t be prevented from having a bright future.
4. I don’t agree with men who want to abolish this law. Women deserve to learn, participate in sports and get scholarships. This law encourages women to succeed and become better.
