I was not there to assess his skills at tryouts. I do not know the social dynamics of his school, his family and his community. I do know that if he has the ability, if his skills are equal to or greater than the other contestants, then blocking him or scoring him low on gender alone is discrimination and unlawful. Fair is fair. If he can do the job, let him do the job! It took court action to achieve equal rights for women and for minorities. It's not unreasonable to expect court action will be required for discrimination against the male of the species. I don’t know the boy involved.

From what I read, talent had nothing to do with it, and based on what I've read here and elsewhere, the kid was actually very talented, more so than many of the kids that did make the team.

So...I have decided that I am just going to offer myself to her. I have a fondness for the classic Hollywood seduction scene that involves a naked body and a large, conspicuous overcoat. If that doesn't work, I'll have to resort to Plan B; a murder suicide sandwich, with a corpse molestation just before I 'off' myself. God...I hope nobody thinks I'm serious...

I won't be letting ANY man 'stick it to me', let alone "THE man". I say, keep up the good work with the prosecuter. But honestly, the world is a dangerous place... if I were you, I'd carry some sort of weapon with you... a sharp knife for instance, just in case you run into the 'wrong sort of person'. I think you do have a pretty good shot with this case. Maybe if you got to know this woman better... her habits... I find that sorting through a woman's garbage, or even her dresser drawer with her unmentionables will give you a good idea of who she is as a person. And you're right... creepy is one of those hard to define words. I think it's creepy that they want to tell you not to use the bathroom. That's creepy in the first place. You on the other hand... you seem quite normal. Mind you, normal runs a large range. Exactly! I won’t be letting ANY man ‘stick it to me’, let alone “THE man”.

It doesn't matter, however. I'm just not allowed, I guess. I'm not about to simply roll over and let 'the man' stick it to me. I've been following the prosecuter (a woman) home from work every day. I think that I can get her to drop the charges and ignore any future complaints if I can just stage some sort of smoothe, hollywood-esque sexual encounter during which she realizes the romantacism of my penchant for using the women's restroom. I've got a pretty good shot, I think, if I just keep doing my homework. I'd define creepy if I could. Really, I have no idea what they meant... That was my argument…

It is your right to use those restrooms. They are set up as a public area, and you are a member of the public. And personally, I can argue that it is detrimental to your mental well-being NOT to use them. Personally, I don't want another dude looking at my junk. My junk is strictly for the ladies. I'd prefer to take care of business somewhere where I can feel safe and secure that if anyone catches a glimpse, it will be a woman. Plus, in a men's room, you might run into predatory repressed republican senators... or perhaps an overzealous police office prone to misinterpreting your normal toilet rituals as a prompting for some sort of sexual act. I don't think you'd have that problem in a women's room. Keep that in mind. Just doing my part to help out. Patrick, I can’t believe we’ve put up with that kind of sexist attitude in the past.
