I was reading the blogs on several sports sites about the reporter in the Jets locker room. The general consensus among the writers (which I feel I can safely say are overwhelmingly not jewish bloggers) is that both the reporter and the players are wrong. The players for the comments, and looks and the reporter for her choice of clothing, especially into a mens locker room (where the testesterone level is already way off the charts after hours of grueling workouts).
Both sides, the men and women, have choices to make and both are held accountable for their decisions. Neither side can blame the other. Women should dress appropriately at all times (appropriately obviously depends on where and when and who is around). Men should be careful about where they go and where they look because they are responsible for what their eyes see, despite the choices made by the women in how they dress. The goyim understand this (on their level and their standards – which are obviously different than ours) we should too. “Dont look at how i’m dressed” and “dont dress in a way that gets my yetzer hara activated” are both wrong attitudes.
