Sexism Is Alive and Well

There is a running joke among physical therapists that Title IX was the best thing to ever happen to the profession of physical therapy. Theoretically at least women's sports should be on par with men's sports. So why I ask you do young ladies still wear skirts when playing field hockey and lacrosse? Were these sports invented in Scotland or something. Let's face it, it's sexist. Not that I'm complaining mind you as there seems to be an explosion of leopard and neon print shorts underneath. The boys playing lacrosse wear padding and full face masks and the ladies wear a pair of goggles apparently because they just don't play as rough. Well let me tell you one thing oh New Jersey High School Sports Officials the desire to win and the ferocity of play have nothing to do with gender. One could make the argument, if one were an enterprising attorney that facial injuries occurring during lacrosse because of inadequate equipment may make school systems liable for injuries. I'm just saying. Perhaps it's time to put away antiquated rules and make them standardized across the sports especially where facial fractures and concussions are concerned. And why are the one pound weights always pink, huh?
