Female Sports Reporters in Male Locker Rooms?
Here are two articles written by Jason Whitlock of ESPN, the main topic dealt with female sports reporters locker rooms.
Part I of the article
Part II of the article
“So come on, let's be honest. We don't send men into women's locker rooms, because the expectations for male behavior are extremely low when it comes to any situation that involves female nudity.
Given all that we know now, why do we have higher expectations for women? They're no better than we are.”
This is a very interesting question, should women be allowed in men’s locker rooms to interview players? I actually think Whitlock makes some very good points. And it’s very true, we wouldn’t expect men to go interview women in their locker room and come out with information related to the sporting event. And another question, why can’t we wait for the players to come out before interview them? I know there are some pretty dumb athletes out there, i.e. Jose Canseco, but most have the intelligence to speak to reporters after showering and changing clothes without forgetting anything important.

Good articles. I'm always a Jason Whitlock fan.
I think his points are dead on. First, I don't think it's right that women can be in male locker rooms and men can't do the same. That's saying that we can't control ourselves, which is probably true for the most part, but there are some that can. Anyways, men can feel uncomfortable in the presense of women when it's a non-sexual matter. How would you like it if you hopped out of the shower and you had a member of the opposite sex waiting to interview you as you towel off. I think the only ones who probably don't mind it are probably the ones either A) hung like a horse or B) think they're hung like a horse and don't care. For all the average guys out there, I'm sure it's not very comfortable. Furthermore, the minute a woman has a locker room interview, she'd immediately receive scorn from feminists saying she's a slut and is only using her body Can't have it both ways.
To his second point. It is pretty stupid that there are locker room interviews at all. Let the guys relax a bit. Take a shower, chill out. Most reporters are looking for the locker room outburst from a pissed off player, even though most of them say "It was in the heat of the moment" and apologize for their remarks. I agree that players should have a seperate interview room either before they shower or after. You don't see tennis players or golfers being interviewed in the locker room. They get more civil arrangements after their matches.
In closing, we'd be foolish to believe that men and women are on equal footing. Sorry to tell you, but that may never happen as long as this is a male dominated world, and it'll be that for awhile. We've all made strides to overcome "the man" but none of us are there yet. Until we become a lifeless nation, locker rooms, or better yet, "showertime" should be restricted to the men. Maybe open the locker rooms to everyone once the guys have had a chance to put some clothes on.
Just my take.
Yeah, let me know when that happens. I got dibs on Serena. Of course, from this convo alone I can asertain that this'll never happen.
First off while the comparision to health care is often used, the difference is most of the time unless its an emergency, you choose your health care provider. Most of the articles I see are from the reporters point of view. The view that they have to put up with this or that, that they belong their becasue it is their job. But the choice is the reporters, not the athelete. While some, maybe many or most don't care, you have to know that some of the men have modesty issues. What about them? To further (and in referring to you I mean reporters in general) your ambitions you are entering into what society normally defines as a same gender environment. Do you feel at any level guilty that you are forcing them to sacrifice their privacy so you can achieve your ambitions? They are not given a choice or a voice.
Second, you must also understand that if these men protested they would be labeled sexist just as twins did. In the past if a coach or player protested they were labeled sexist, or the perpatrator, the issue wasn't they were modest, it was they were sexist and instead of being the victim, they were the violator. Since the media controled what was printed, they portrayed the men as bad or evil and they were the victim. Accepting what is happening doesn't mean they are OK with it. Do you recognize this or disagree?
Do you also realize that some of it has nothing to do with the reporter being a professional. You seem to be just that, but you are also the one who is fully clothed invading their privacy. Society has long defined areas that are single gender restrooms, locker rooms, showers, etc...it was a female judge who removed male locker rooms from that. Do you honestly feel female reporters would be just as accepting if the roles were reversed and they were the ones trying to shower after exertion and males were trying to interview them?
Last, the double standard is pretty obvious. I think it is even more disturbing when it is college. While some argue its becasue no one cares about female sports...the Lady Vols would probably take exception. In the college environment where females are allowed in male locker rooms, but males are not allowed in female locker rooms...even though female reporters may acknowledge the issue....I have never heard of a single one fighting the issue or accusing or labeling the college as being sexist. Why do female reporters attack this obvious double standard or sexist practice with the zeal that (and again I am referring to the profession) that they get when trying to gain "equal" access to male locker rooms. Should not the atheletes as well as the reporters be treated equally.

READ THIS ARTICLE THIS WILL GIVE YOU ALL THE REASONS WHY MEN ARE LABELED AND NEVER GIVEN A CHANCE.. AND ALSO THE REASON WHY ITS OK FOR A MANS PRIVACY TO BE INVADED. (IM A MAN AND I DONT AGREE WITH ANY OF THE REASONS) BUT ITS INTERESTING TO KNOW HOW CLOSE MINDED AND MOUTHED WE ARE FORCED TO BE.
NOT ONE FEMALE REPORTER ADMITTS ITS A DOUBLE STANDARD, NOR WILL THEY DO A DAMN THING TO TRY TO CHANGE THE LOCKER ROOM SITUATION. ITS KINDA LIKE THE FEMINIST MOVEMENT, WHEN WOMEN SAID THEY WANTED EQUALITY WHAT THEY REALLY WANTED IS,, "TO BE MORE LIKE THE BOYS" SO THEY SAY BUT THEY ONLY WANT TO BE TREATED LIKE A MAN WHEN ITS THE GOOD STUFF..THIS IS A HILARIOUS VIDEO CLIP ON YOU TUBE A MUST WATCH.
