As per usual, we are looking at this from the wrong end of the horse: the feminist view which grants that women are always victims and men always perpetrators, ignoring, like a dysfunctional family, the reality of the situation.

The very fact that women are allowed into the men’s locker-rooms while the men are naked, changing, is sexual harassment of the men, not the women. It is as vile as the comments. The women are just facing the backlash that has resulted from this practice, and its not fair to them to be put in this situation just to be able to do their jobs.

.

It creates, for the men, a hostile work environment, and anyone with a modicum of common sense would feel the same way should they be required to, as part of their job, be forced to shower and change under the view of the opposite sex. With that, both the players, and the fans have spoken out against it every time it has reared its ugly head.

Many, many players have complained, and they are usually lynched in the media, often by those very women reporters. Their egos have been attacked, they’ve been humiliated no differently then what we speak of here in regard to destructive practices…back in the box of silence, stoicism, sucking it up., “Be a man”.

That does not excuse the comments being made to those women. It does not excuse the comments at all, but the level of frustration from men experiencing so many double standards in this society is reaching the boiling point, and as per usual it is the sick, lame, and lazy voicing contention rather then intelligent people doing so in civil manner, and with a modicum of empathy and rational thought.

The fact is that the women do not want to be there and the men do not want them there. The truth is that the courts never granted women the right to enter a man’s locker room while the men are naked. They were granted the right to equal access to information and interviews with the players. There is a vast and glaring difference from what the law afforded and how the leagues handled it.

If we cross reference this with the way female leagues have handled it, we can clearly see why the resentment exists (like many issues in this society that are handled differently based upon gender). As Tom stated, the situation is handled in a totally different manner.

There is no excuse for this today as the solution is so simple. With the electronic capabilities we have today, with blue tooth, wireless, systems could be set up to where interviews can be accomplished either one on one, through conference calling that allows reporters to tap into open conversations. They can enter a que for one on one questions, and a myriad of other options. The players can accomplish all interviews through earbuds, while dressing, changing in the type of privacy that we all expect.

The leagues have just been lazy, unconcerned, because their solution works to gain maximum exposure with minimal cost to them while putting both these men and women in this confrontational situation. What was considered a great victory for women (again, by those same ole gender feminists), has been the single biggest thorn in their side, the greatest hurdle facing them and the greatest detractor for them…and we can see what it has come to.

There is no reason for these women to be facing this, and there is no reason for the men to continue to endure this degrading practice. This video is just more of the same type approach as we’ve seen for over 40 years, and it will do little beyond raise the resentment to even greater levels, as the average guy out there is caring less and less about those perceived to not care about him…and that is most unfortunate for all of us.

That is the hard, cold truth on this matter. The entirety of this issue is in need of resolve once and for all, and the rights of both participants have to be accounted for with equal empathy and understanding. Until we are willing to look at this with honest eyes,the conflict will continue, as it has for the past 40 years, with no viable and fair minded solution in sight.
