Gender Equality

I was astonished after reading the article on http://www.nytimes.com/2012/09/28/us/rhode-island-father-daughter-dance-stirs-sex-discrimination-dispute.html. In this specific situation I believe that the interpretation of Title IX is misconstrued. A father-daughter dance is tradition and special to fathers and daughters. I know that there is an increasing number of children with single parents, but a mother-son baseball game was scheduled. It was also announced that if a parent was missing then it could be a mother-daughter dance or father-son baseball game. I am not completely against Title IX because it is important in fighting discrimination based on sex. There are still instances where men get payed more than women for the same job. Pay should be based completely on experience and qualifications. Equality has made great strides, but many more are needed to ensure that all human beings are equal
