Summary

Professor Mark J. Perry has filed a complaint against sexist women only "diversity" programs and awards. He says that by only allowing women they are excluding male and non-binary people from these programs and under Title IX it is illegal.In many instance he has won and certain programs and spaces have been closed. Some programs kept their name that said "women's" in the title but opened up to all genders.These programs are typically viewed as fighting for social justice and diversity but when women are the majority of college campuses it is only benefiting those who are already in a position of privilege.
