Reb, what double standard are you referring to? I don't know of a guy that wears like a banana hammock, and has issues with catcalls from women. Do you mean the double standard that a woman can wear whatever she wants, but guys can't say whatever they want or?
When I see something like this, I think about pleasantville. Remember that line when they say, well we are safe here we are in a bowling alley. Here is what I see. This woman's lib thing has been on the war path since woman started shaving their armpits. And have taken over a lot of the socially acceptable norms of society. Now days you have guys wearing guy-liner, and all these fruit loop horn billed glasses, skinny jeans wearing bunch of males. Who are more in touch with their feelings than most woman are. It almost isn't ok to be a man anymore. You should see the looks I get when I don't acquiesce to the norms established by woman. We aren't even talking being polite and kind, I catch all kinds of crap, for not being some uber trendy hipster who likes to talk about how the sunrise made me feel this morning, over my soy mocha-java-soy-frappa-latte-chino. But imo the sports arena is somewhere they haven't quite dominated yet. Like they have everywhere else.
Women and men are different. Men act differently when around woman than when around just guys. As far as I'm concerned the sports field, and then an even greater extent locker room. Is a guy's domain. The bowling alley so to speak. A woman walks in there, dressed to flaunt her "ass-ets" knowing full well 300 pound guys are going to be in various states of undress. Then after hearing (what I'd assume) is some ugly chick saying you can't let guys do that. She says something about it. As if guys should change, when she walked into a guy's home turf. I'd love to watch the hell a guy would catch, if his wife made him go to some ultra girly thing, like tea or something, and he shows up in a Magellan fishing shirt, that is wrinkly and smeared with some fish guts, some shorts and chacos. (actually might be fun, gonna have to try that next time I really don't' want to go somewhere...) Woman claim they want equality, to be treated the same. (remember that 30 rock episode where they make fun of this) Liz Lemon walks in and says I want to be treated like the guys. So the first thing the dude with the trucker hat says is GREAT, now I don't have to hold my farts in while you're around. Then they watch her spill most of the 5 gallon water jug on herself before she gets it on the dispenser.
Then don't get me started on the idea of someone dressing like she did (see that fox new interview) then complaining when she get the attention she's dressed for...
