I have mixed feelings about the Inez Sainz situation. Part of me thinks that she should be able to do her job and not have to be subjected to the immature cat calls of supposedly grown men, but the other part of me thinks she should dress like a journalist. I know from doing stand-up that nobody would laugh at a hot looking chick wearing a sexy, provocative outfit. First of all, the guys wouldn't be listening to her jokes and the women would be jealous and watching their boyfriends. But that doesn't matter because honestly, how many hot, sexy female comics are there? We're funny for a reason - and it's not because we were homecoming queens.
Here's what really pisses me off. Nobody is giving the players any responsibility. Why the hell can't she interview these athletes without them acting like total adolescent idiots? "Oh, they're just acting like men." Well, she's just acting like a woman. Why can't these guys control themselves, and why is it okay that they don't? Why can't a football player give an interview to an attractive, hot woman who loves sports? I mean, isn't that your ideal woman?
I always think of their mothers. What would their mothers say? How would they feel if their mothers were being harassed by a bunch of thugs? Half these guys are bald with hair coming out of their ears and nose, fat stomachs, and dumb as a brick - and yet they judge how a woman should dress around them so that they can give her some respect and the time of day? I don't think so.
If I had Inez's body, I'd probably dress like that too. Okay, maybe not - I'm Jewish, but still - she has the right to dress the way she feels comfortable. It's time that men stop blaming their dicks for everything. Have some restraint. On the other hand, if she was wearing a suit, this whole thing might not be an issue and she would get work as a sports journalist rather than the probable future reality show and Penthouse spread.
Well said Judy.
