| | From: Ann Hall Subject: Women's Studies/Women's Sport In response to Dayna Daniel's comments about incorporating issues about girl's and women's sport into women's studies courses and classes: I am in agreement with her general sentiments, but I also think there are some deeper issues to explore. | | | One reason is that as the salaries of coaches of women's teams increased with Title IX, male coaches began to displace female coaches. | | | Subject: Re: women's studies courses i have decided not to reply privately to the requestes for materials on women and sport in women's studies classes because i think this is a very important women's studies topic and would like to hear a broader discussion. |

| | If childbearing is indeed the only role for women, then such cultural preoccupations are understandable; but Islamic teachings always have a way of putting things in balance, reinforcing the significance of motherhood, but not defining roles completely by biology. | | | The same applies to our belief in the equality of men and women; this principle that's outlined in the Quran must also be put into practice. | | | Women are independent individuals, as exemplified by the fact that all human beings will be accountable for their own intentions and deeds on the Day of Judgment when no human being shall be of the least avail to another human being (82:19). |
