The trend continued upward, so much so that by 1999 some universities had admissions policies that explicitly favored men. In doing so, the school managed to maintain a ratio of 45 percent men to 55 percent women. The young women’s lawyers argued that the extra points for men violated both the equal-protection clause and Title IX, which guarantees equal educational opportunities for men and women. But Title IX does not prohibit gender-based affirmative action in admissions at all schools. That Title IX exemption still stands, allowing private colleges and universities to privilege men during the admissions process.

The Case for Home Births in America

BIRTH CONTROL: The Insidious Power of Men Over Motherhood, by Allison YarrowSeventeen years ago, while pregnant with twins, I was hospitalized for pre-eclampsia before undergoing a cesarean delivery days later. After delivery, I was left alone and shivering in a separate room for easily an hour, without anyone to ask when I could hold my newborn children. At the time, I was only grateful we were all healthy; the submission and alienation the process engendered always seemed beside the point. Yarrow systemically makes the case that the dominant methods of childbirth in America are the clumsy evolution of earlier medical practices that were designed to protect the privilege, status and convenience of 20th-century male doctors. Yarrow convincingly recasts this country’s maternal health care system as needlessly dehumanizing, prioritizing expediency and profit over the best interests of a population of women rendered vulnerable.

When Coco Gauff arrived in Paris in May for the French Open, she did not expect the tournament to be a milestone in her tennis career. Chris Evert predicted she would win a Grand Slam championship, even at 18; John McEnroe declared that she would be No. She loved Paris. In the semifinals, she unleashed the power of her serve — one of the fastest in women’s tennis — to close out the match. In the end, Gauff lost 6-1, 6-3 to Iga Swiatek, a Polish athlete, currently ranked No.
