Because teenage boys are inherently stronger than teenage girls.

Title IX was brought in so 'teenage girls' could get equal access to sport. The reason for this is the centuries long misogyny that has existed to deny women opportunities. Misanthropy has never existed in the world any of us have known. This boy, who can play any other sport he wishes, is going to take away the spot of a female. Playing against other females. Teenage girls when playing in male sports, have to be ten times better.

Well stated.
And even if there was no volleyball program, my daughter would not be playing against boys in HS.

I played boys at American high school age (high school in Australia starts at Year 7 so 11/12 years old) It was HARD facing those male pitchers. Men just generally are stronger in sports. Not more skilled, stronger.

Pre teens I have no issues (and coach mixed teams for U12) but not teenagers who have gone or are going through puberty.
