This time traveler from the late Polite-ocene Era recalls when girls’ locker rooms were sacrosanct female strongholds. In that bygone era, any boy who even accidentally almost walked into a girls’ locker room carried with him a lifelong self-shunning shame. It wasn’t done. And it still haunts even at the distance of some six decades.
Yet nowadays, the deliberate invasion into girls’ rooms and girls’ sports is held by some as high achievement. It’s not only allowed, but protected behavior acquiesced to in an ever more perplexingly and passive posture.

What brought this to our schools? Looking upstream at the flow of hot history to discover a source for today’s twisted downstream eddy, we see Sheriff Ed Tom Bell in his No Country for Old Men summer-weight Stetson at a café table, explaining to the El Paso sheriff how the unraveling of right and the rise of wrong began: “once you quit hearing ‘sir’ and ‘ma’am,’ the rest is soon to foller.” Foller to what?
I couldn’t puzzle it out, so I called on Sheriff Bell to saddle up across that same café table to put questions to someone whose political savvy on current goings-on promised more insight than anything this long-retired high school principal could offer.
“So,” says the sheriff to his progressive feminist tablemate, “you’re against men competing against women in sports. You take the position that males should compete only against males and females should compete only against females. You frame this knowing that the aim of high school sports is not primarily to accumulate strong win-loss records. The main point and chief justification for competitive high-school sports programs is that playing fields are another kind of classroom, and participation in sports teaches values of hard work, team play, goal-setting, respect for rules, sacrifice, and even daring to want to win — experiences girls had largely been denied before Title IX in 1972. 
“Then, when it came to a high school girl being a placekicker or quarterback on an otherwise all-boy football team, feminist luminaries and enlightened media roundly cheered these intrusions into all-boy sports teams as noteworthy achievements, as one more win in the battle against sexism.
“And nowadays,” says the sheriff, “the reality of boy-replacing girl athletes on boys’ teams has come to impose conditions that pretty much make it impossible for cut-from-the-team boys to engage boyness by competing on all-boy teams and then carrying gained personal experiences with them into manhood. Every girl who suits up for a spot on a football team pushes one boy off the roster and out of the opportunity to benefit from participating in competitive sports. And just as a feminist politician gains kudos when boldly asserting that strong girls become strong women who become strong leaders, so should the same argument be made for strong boys to become strong men who become strong leaders. Maybe more important, these strong men may well grow up to embrace the duty of being a strong husband, a strong father, and a strong man, something America needs.
