    Girls getting pregnant presumably had just as much to do with their 
getting pregnant as males did.  
    Let's not blame everything on "sexism" when the so-called "victim" was an 
equal partner in the behavior that made her a "victim"!

    Really?  You can't have it both ways.
    Feminists said "all-male academies" (by their mere existence) were unfair 
to girls just because girls couldn't be students at them (VMI).  Presumably, 
"all-female academies" would be equally unfair by denying a girl the 
opportunity to attend an "all-male academy" in that same school district.
