Two things strike me as relevant:
1. Never let the truth get in the way of a good story.
2. Make yourself a victim to gain attention to your cause.

Read the last sentence of the article and tell me it doesn't sound like a funny end to an article about women trying to take something away from men.

"In the 1970s, women regained the ability to play baseball through Title IX stating “No person in the United States shall, on the basis of ***, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving federal financial assistance.”
Title IX did not provide the right for girls to play baseball. It provided the right to equal funding by gender for sports.
"Women are pressured to play softball instead of baseball, she said."
Women are not pressured to play softball over baseball. There isn't much of a market for women's baseball. Therefore there aren't many teams.
“Female athletics are put in a difficult situation,” Ring said. “People still have this idea that sports are masculinizing.”
From the father of a female athlete .... Baloney!
