I'm fairly new, so I'm not familiar with the attitudes of people but I assure you, I'm not looking for a fight, I just strongly and passionately disagree with you.
1) I personally know the guy and his ex as we three work at the same hospital, and grant it, I don't know her outside of work, I did have the unfortunate experience of reading text messages from his phone of her exclaiming to him that "he isn't raising their daughter around a new tramp and he will start paying child support since he can afford a new bitch." As you say, people often become petty, but I assure you among the 48% reasons why people divorce or breakup, and have custody disputes, pettiness is one of the reasons.
2) You have a sexist attitude regarding this point. You're saying in the presence of a naked or half naked body a man must challenge his professionalism while being among half naked women? Then you go on to say men may feel more comfortable parading around a woman naked? Truly that is sexism at its finest. I would assume for female athletes there is a level of discomfort of male journalist in their personal dress rooms because its not of the norm.
Do you hold the same belief of a male gynocologist? Do you believe a male gynocologist has a tough time being a professional?
3) I would've thought a responsible adult would have an obligation to control themselves. Like point two you seem to miss the idea that no adult ought to put hands on another adult, but you seem to rather put the responsibility upon the man to have self control yet the woman or women are ok to put hands on a man?
I'm not calling you sexist but points 2 and 3 have sexist ideology.
Fine, I'm a sexist. I think I am just accepting the current reality. I am not saying NO MAN is capable I'm just saying most men would find it a greater challenge than MOST women. In my opinion men and women are different, we simply are. I see that as a fact not a prejudice. A more realistic goal for equality is not to force ourselves to be the same but accept and even respect our differences. I am a woman and I am not as strong as most men. I am a woman and I am more emotionally acute than most men. That's not saying that men can't be. It's saying that IN GENERAL it's how things play out. Men and women are strong in different way. I respect the ways in which men are strong and EXPECT them to respect the ways in which I, as a woman, am stronger than them. Together we create a balanced unit. If that makes me sexist fine, I am sexist.
