put him in the cell next to harvey weinstein!

Would the team have been fined IF the male ‘identified as a female’? Or was a minority?

She will need a lifetime of therapy.

I was asked by a cute, younger local news reporter to let her follow me around a something I did, one day. She had her television camera man there.

I told her she was cute and I’d live to have them follow me around.

She seemed embarrassed, but happily complimented. She was probably just five foot tall, which shocked me, as I never expected that from watching her. Of course, they position the cameras low to meet their faces, but I’d never thought she was that short.

The guy was not hedging the truth.

No penalty box for him.

“85-year-old WHL scout just can’t help himself on air 😂”

Healthy looking 85 year old guy! Probably still playing hockey. Is he still high-sticking?

Yeah, she's a good-looking girl, and if she is a red-blooded Canadian she appreciated the compliment. Her appearance help her earn the job. The guy's 85 years old. His eyes are still functioning. Strom Thurmond said stuff like that all the time. 99+% of the time these are grandfatherly types who have learned to appreciate feminine beauty, and not primarily in a sexual way. (the old pervert in "Chinatown" is not the norm)

Full disclosure: I married a Canadian good looking girl.

Here’s the part everybody knows but is afraid to say:

If he had been a hunky young guy she wouldn’t have objected to the comment.

The world has gone insane.

So happy to have lived during the decades when a compliment was a good thing instead of a violation of human rights. When I got a wolf whistle, or someone told me “You’ve got a great set of pegs”, I just smiled.
