As evidenced by my posts on the subject, as a left wing kid raised by a feminist mother who grew up in part in the 68 to 70 Palo Alto mom, I agree that it's a messed up world where fox sports and Nesn, procurers of barbi eye candy sideline reporters gets to tell us what is anti-women's rights.
Minihane says all sorts of offensive things like stories of madturbating in a car, calls joe haggerty fat and lazy. But none of that is offensive.
What is offensive is when he calls a woman fat and lazy and complains that Erin Andrews has her job only because she is pretty and thin. As we know him attacking man for this not noted, because men can protect themselves. But attack a weak woman, and the network that hires women to look pretty rushes to protect their beautiful darlings. Did comcast fire minihand when he called haggerty fat and lazy? No. But we need to protect beautiful women who are incapable of either ignoring it or defending themselves. Thank you fox and Nesn, purveyors of Elle Duncan, Heidi Whitney, Jenny dell and 20 thousand blond anchors for defining women's rights and protecting our women from slights.
Between words and deeds, I'll always judge who advances the women's cause more by deeds than words. But, as nip points out, we live in a world where we judge by the words used and the apology.
