“I just listened to the Pink Card episodes (during the 2022 World Cup!) and it again reminded me of the freedoms I now have as a female in the US (except for “pro choice” on the national level). I grew up before the passage of Title 9 in the early 1970s and was unhappy about the inequalities between males and females—I was unable to participate in Cross Country until I attended junior college (outside of the US, at that!), and there was no backpacking in the Sierra Mountains for women. My new high school had 2 gyms, one of which was named “Girls Gym”, but our girls’ basketball team had only the outside blacktop and hoops for practice while the 4 boys’ basketball teams had the 2 gyms… but I am still grateful for what freedoms I currently have—I have lived in Canada, Europe, and Southeast Asia—not as a tourist—so I know how others live. Thanks so much for sharing this story, in spite of what’s currently happening to females in Iran, and Afghanistan.”
