I love this!

It's interesting how this ended up needing to be done through electoral politics. I remember the women swimmers being told that they had better be quiet or their careers would be ruined. They were told they had mental health problems if they didn't want a man in their locker room. This all could have been solved by listening to women, but Penn didn't want it done that way. It took a Presidential election to make them do the right thing.

Exactly. Penn (and many other unis) doesn't give a damn about women athletes. They were forced to recant at metaphorical gunpoint.

What took sooo long? Thankful to the many women who stood up when it was unpopular to do so! Courage! For sure they led the way for the Trump administration to actually get it done!!
