man, and speaking that way on the air?

i read the story yesterday. and really do not care a whole lot about it, but that it made the old man look like a fool. but, i did think, we would never allow, nor would a woman even consider doing that to a man. it would just be unacceptable.

but, like i said, i only had a visceral interest in this story and why i came into this thread, to see responses. not cause i really care. we see often in society, men, old men, discuss young women in this manner.

most of us women have experienced this repeatedly. especially at that age. and no, not really comfortable. as a waitress when i was young, i got it often, plastered a smile and acted like it was not an issue, but then, i was living on tips so i really had no choice but to smile.
