Yes but if I'm happy with how I look in the dress, that doesn't necessarily mean I am also happy to stay inside and watch tv. Perhaps I want to go out and about too? Wearing my nice dress and feeling happy with how I look?

And if I do go out and about, or whatever, why do some men think that because I'm out and about wearing a low cut dress, that I'm doing it for them?

I don't know if you're joking when you made this comment, but it's not true of all women. It sounds like you don't have much experience or contact with women and that's why you have a strange, distant and removed idea of women's reasons for dressing a certain way. I don't mean to offend, you just sound like you don't know many women.

Reporters are allowed in the locker/changing rooms of NFL player pretty much directly after games and practice regardless of their gender. So no big deal here.

a U.S. federal judge ruled that male and female reporters should have equal access to the locker room.

Players howled in protest "We're not a nudist colony putting on an exhibition," insisted NBA rookie Toby Knight, "and the locker room did not change overnight.

Nonetheless, several of these women learned that, while they were allowed into the locker room, they were not welcomed there. "Changing the rules doesn't necessarily alter attitudes," Ludtke observed.

No one learned that lesson better than Lisa Olson, a reporter for the Boston Herald. While conducting interviews in the New England Patriots' locker room following an NFL game in 1990, a group of Patriots surrounded the reporter and made aggressive, vulgar comments. The players were later fined and the team's general manager was fired for trying to cover up the incident.

When the incident sparked a national debate, Olson began receiving death threats. Vandals burglarized her apartment and painted an ominous message on a wall in her home: "Leave Boston or die." She received another note when the tires of her car were slashed: "Next time it will be your throat." Olson later recalled that she received mail that "would make you physically ill - depictions of rape scenes and horrible, horrible things."

In a 1999 Wall Street Journal article, retired NFL defensive end Reggie White wrote that he couldn't see a legitimate reason "for forcing male athletes to walk around naked in front of women who aren't their wives." White claimed to have seen female reporters "ogling guys in the locker room," and encouraged players to fight against equal access for female reporters.

Within a few days, New York Knicks guard Charlie Ward was distributing copies of the article to his teammates. The basketball player claimed having women in the locker room violated the sanctity of marriage.

Your debating skills are mediocre at best. Perhaps if you learned the appropriate use of the word "disingenous" for starters.

You have no problem describing some men as "****ing apes", well then you should have no problem if I describe some women as "*****ing chimpanzees" (I mean chimpanzee in the colloquial sense, not the literal, but I assumed (wrongly) that was understood- perhaps I overestimated the language abilities of some)

If a man defends himself from male-bashing you say its "imagined" when its blatantly not. Once again classic feminazi reversal, "we women have done nothing wrong, its all the men, why cant they take our criticism, we are entitled to call them "****ing apes" and say whatever we like about them, even call them disingenous. If a man criticizes women in any way, it's "nasty digs at women", yet we women never get digs in at men."
