Think

I couldn't wait - I had to post a link to an article I read. People are missing the point of the article, but I hope you don't.

No reporters allowed

Why are interviews conducted in the locker rooms? If I was a professional athlete I would not answer questions in the locker room, period. I would be offended if some reporter stuffed a microphone in my face while I was trying to get cleaned up and dressed. I don’t see reporters following politicians, pop stars or other icons into bathrooms to conduct their “business.”

Women should not be in men’s locker rooms, period. They cry foul though because men can go in there. OK, so don’t let anyone in the locker room to ask questions. Have a media room instead and prevent potential problems to begin with. That’s what they do for female athletes. Oh yeah, male reporters are not allowed in women’s locker rooms. Did I forget to mention that little tidbit? It is another double standard that has no place in the 21st century.

When a woman enters a men’s team locker room she is putting herself in a bad situation to begin with. Men aren’t allowed in Women’s locker rooms, so why are women allowed to go into men’s? To me it is an invasion of privacy. Those athletes don’t want a microphone shoved in their faces while they are trying to wind down, clean up and get dressed. Many young players don’t want a woman around when they are trying to get dressed. It doesn’t matter whether the woman is looking at them or not.

Women, I challenge you to go pee with a strange man standing in the stall with you cleaning the door. Don’t worry; he won’t be looking at you. He’ll have his back to you. He’s just there to do his job. I like this writer’s article.

Double standard

Why does the women’s movement perpetuate the wrong attitudes? “A woman should be able to wear whatever she wants without being sexually harassed.” That’s all fine and good, but until you settle on a definition of sexual harassment and apply it equally to BOTH sexes I refuse to accept that assertion.

If a man walked around with the shaft of his penis showing through the fly of his pants he would be harassing everyone else. When a woman wears a low cut top that shows quite a bit of her cleavage that’s OK, and when she wears a dangling necklace that hangs down in that cleavage there is nothing wrong with it, hell, why doesn’t she just wear a neon sign that points to her chest and says, “Look here.” When a woman wears skin tight shorts with the bottom of her butt cheeks hanging out that’s OK too, but under no uncertain terms men are not suppose to look.

That’s just it! Women are the ones defining sexual harassment, not men, and they aren't doing a good job of it. Women also don't apply it equally to both genders. Why is that? Is it because “men want it”? No, it’s because women want power. They don’t realize they already have it, or maybe they do and they just want more. Men can’t be sexually harassed? Men can’t be raped or sexually assaulted? The women’s movement always downplays that aspect of the argument by saying it doesn’t happen that often. Really! So, because it doesn’t happen that often, we shouldn’t worry about it? Then I’m not worried about women being sexually harassed because it doesn’t happen often enough to concern me.

If I didn’t need my job so much, I’d do it. I’d actually start walking around with the shaft showing through my fly. If anyone mentioned it, I’d just tell them it’s the new style. When I got fired and arrested, I’d make a case out of it and take it to the Supreme Court. How you like me now!
