look, i'm not a bra burner or a feminist. i really dislike the hardcore twitter campaigns out there, and i'm not a member nor a supporter of d2bd, like quite a few women in the sport. let's just get that out of the way.
you want to look at hot women with your sport, we get it. but hot women can buy tickets like the rest of us, or work in the sport like the rest of us.
i have no beef with hospitality and marketing staff, doing a job other than standing around handing out leaflets and freebies in lycra or any other generic inappropriate outfit. there's plenty of hot women working in marketing, as much as there's hot women working in public relations, and as engineers and spanners.
it's kind of like the "rock test" for guys unsure of how to conduct themselves around women to avoid harassment accusations. if you wouldn't employ a guy in a similar outfit to do a job, don't ask a woman to do it either.
just a side "cool story, bro", but the only place where i have ever had men discuss my appearance close enough that i could hear them was at the australian grand prix whilst spectating. |
Thanks for the mansplaining dig.
I just think that peoples freedoms should not be taken away by others in the name of whatever.
Your "rock test", in my book is just criminal assault by the perpetrator, and should be dealt with as such.
"Cool story bro", doubtless they were fat, ugly, drunk, and definitely stupid, so sub-human really in my book. Still, useless as the sentiment is, I apologize for the behavior of the idiots of my sex.
Feminism quite bluntly makes me sick, when I see how men often treat women, I know where it comes from. I have no answer.
