[ad_1] If she had a dime for every time she heard the slur, she’d make another multimillion-dollar deal. “You throw like a girl … You think like a girl … You drink like a girl.” She’s heard that BS ad nauseam since she was 5, 25, 35 and counting, and it always stabs, then punctures her soul to no end.

Incarcerated students and their advocates can utilize Title IX as a fulcrum to…
