The truth is that we live in a society where female athletes are judge women on a much higher scale than males.

It has been enforced since June 23, 1972, yet many women’s collegiate programs are struggling to receive the benefits that they should be guaranteed. Several protests and outreaches have come up that touch on each opportunity that female athletes should be allowed. Some groups took a larger, more radical approach such as the 1976 Yale Women’s Crew team who held their own protest involving nudity. There are also those that work behind the scenes in fighting for equal rights in a less noted way such as University Oregon coach Jody Runge.
