Does the US government believe physical capacity of men and women are different?

If no, then the Title IX doesn’t make sense.

If yes, then the US government understands that certain physically demanding jobs can only be handled by certain (not all) men? Are we OK with this logic? It seems like we are being taught there is no such work in the world.

Also, if the equal access is that important, I guess the equal responsibilty is eqaully important. Why are only men required to register for the draft?

Title IX consists of 37 words:
"No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any educational program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance."

There is no mention of athletics or sports. The law just ensured equality for women in educational and athletic programs that receive federal funding. Just like the 19th Amendment in 1920 gave women the right to vote just like men, Title IX was about equal opportunity regardless of gender. Which should be a positive thing for your daughters.

Under the Military Selective Service Act, women are not required or even permitted to register for the draft. I am not sure I see the point in anyone registering for the draft since there is no actual military draft. Congress should change the law to either require everyone to register or eliminate the need to register for the draft, especially since active conscription through the military draft ended in 1973.

Hold on. So if a college runs a co-ed basketball team and none or very few women were accepted on the basis of skillsets/merits but not on the basis of sex, is this Title IX complaint? Or is there something else?

You didn’t answer a fundamental question:

Does the US government believe physical capacity of men and women are different? Why do we have to have two separate teams?
