I’ll Stop Your Sexism With My Nudity!
Dogs chase cats. Governors hire prostitutes. Construction workers ogle women. These are known facts of the universe.
One Israeli tourist in New Zealand, however, was fed up with the constant attention from male Kiwis, so when a rowdy band of road workers started wolf whistling she decided to put them in their place — by taking off her clothes!
Reuters quotes one Police Sergeant Peter Masters as saying, “She said she had thought, ‘Bugger them, I’ll show them what I’ve got.’”
I’m not sure how she thought that would quell the situation or make her life any better. Maybe she has low self-esteem and thought her repulsiveness would so scar the men for life, they’d never again do any such sexist thing? Unfortunately for her, Sergeant Masters indicates she’s “not an unattractive looking lady.” Maybe he’s a closet fug freak.
There’s no record of the workers’ reaction.
I want to know who called the police. And where’s a cell phone camera when you really want one?
In the end, police released the woman to her own bad judgment. “She was taken back to the police station and spoken to,” said Sergeant Masters, “and told that was inappropriate in New Zealand.” Okay, scratch New Zealand off the itinerary, pencil in Israel.
Personally, I find female nudity always appropriate. Unless it’s at grandma’s house. Nude volleyball at the retirement home is something even a road worker probably couldn’t get into. If you don’t believe me, here, look at my cell phone….
