Do they still allow women reporters in men’s locker rooms?

I thought we didn’t know what a female is?

It’s all so confusing.

During a news net discussion, it was said these changes are the result of *one* woman complaining about TV pics & videos of women athletes. To whom she complained, idk.

When was the last time there was a sexy female athlete on TV? There aren’t any around at the moment.

Just when you thought women’s sports ratings couldn’t get any lower.

Oh, good grief.

This is pathetic. I was wondering if they had anything better to do, then realized...they don’t.

If it would make them feel better, they could just be like this poor guy whose eyes are nearly dislodging from their sockets trying not to...look:

The thing that bothers me me most, after being married for 54 years to the same woman. She automatically walks by me at my computer where I was looking for car parts on Rock Auto and got side tracked by a hot chick shooting a machine gun. The wife walks by and tells me just hit the back button 6 times 🫤

Wow, that’s a really, really, REALLY long-running GIF. I’ve been watching her bounce for over a half-hour now.... haven’t hit the end of the animation yet....

Maybe if I watch a little longer....

A woman knows when her man is looking at another woman. It’s hardwired into that extra leg on the second “X” chromosome. They can sense on some ethereal wavelength and before you can look away or hit that back button, she’s over your shoulder.

There is no escape, there is no denying it. Resistance is futile.
