Woman Reporter Complains About not Being Allowed in Masters Lockerroom, Maybe Guys Just Want Privacy When They're Taking A Dump?



(CNN) -- A female sports reporter blasted the all-male Augusta National Golf Club on Monday, a day after a security guard wouldn't let her in to interview one of the stars of the recent Masters tournament..."This is not an issue of sensitivity. This is just an issue of doing my job," Sullivan said Monday. "I'm a credentialed reporter. I should have been allowed in."..."It should not have happened," said Steve Ethun, Augusta National's communications director, noting that the guard was not aware of the club's policies. "We will work as hard as we can to make sure it does not happen again." The security guard, who was also female, "was very apologetic" in denying her access to the locker room in the clubhouse, according to Sullivan..."(The guard) said it's sort of this open bathroom area," the reporter said. "I said, 'Yeah, like every professional locker room I go into.' "

Everyone realizes this was a female security guard, right? Not like Hootie the ultimate bigot sticking it to women one more time before he croaks.

She wasn't doing it for some sexist reason, she was simply saving this reporter from walking into an open bathroom with dudes dropping steamers left and right.  Have you ever golfed before?  18 holes takes a solid 5 hours when it is not televised, the Masters takes a solid 6-7 hours.  By the time these guys reach the clubhouse those two hot dogs and bag of funions they pounded at the turn are just wreaking havoc on their bowels.  The last thing they need is a woman walking around while they're trying to do work on the shitter.  Is it too much to ask to be able to unleash one male dominated un-inhibitted shit? 

Plus it's not like there is ever men in the locker room for woman's sports...Yea I know it's largely because woman's sports aren't newsworthy and why would any self respecting male reporter cover them, but I'm still pretty sure even if one ever tried he'd be disallowed.  

So can everyone agree to do us all a favor, when this same thing happens next year (and it does every year, can we just ignore it like the non-issue that it is.
