Yeah, why don't you support fair treatment?

People for the Ethical Negligence of the Inferior Sex FTW

Fairness and equality between the sexes has nothing to do with physical confrontation. I am much stronger and faster than any woman I am ever likely to encounter, there is nothing they can do about that, and so to use it against them is unfair and unjust in any and all circumstances.
Youtube <> here... Going on all y'all's descriptions.

You have no idea what went on before the shot. I do some ENG freelance stuff once in a blue moon. You show up with a camera around drunks and everyone of them wants to be on. That might not have been the first, second, or even third time that that drunk chick was asked to remove herself from the shot. Sometimes the cameraman, staff, or talent have to be human shields just to get a report in and when you are live, it needs to be then. His job and she wants to screw it up and too drunk to care. It is an occupational hazard and you just have to learn to deal with it. If it went corps a corps, sounds like she need it to get motivated out of the frame. That does not a lady make.

wtf.... it wasn't *that* big of deal. Call her an enthusiastic fan. If a guy tried to get on camera by saying, "GO OHIO STATE!" would it have been cooler?

its not a gender issue here. she was treated in a way that complimented her behavior that is all one can expect from another person.

That was pretty hilarious. And I can see how a frustrated reporter would wanna do that, especially with that many rapid fans around.

I didn't read the YouTube comments, but I thought it looked like he was being pulled towards her after seeing it several times. Funny regardless, but less shock value if he really didn't mean to shoulder her out of the way.

So since "there is nothing they can do about" being inferior in the physical sense, we should coddle them?

something that hasn't been mentioned, the reporter is using a public street/sidewalk for his studio, I don't know if it's really right the way tv stations think they have any special rights to control that kind of space.

to me anyway, what he did wasn't a big deal, but he comes off as a bit of a jerk, whereas if he let the fan say her piece, that would have actually amounted to showing the reality of the situation, instead of trying to make it into some sort of controlled enviroment, which isn't the job of a news crew.
