Reverse discrimination




So I go to the Yankee game with a buddy yesterday and as we go through the ticket collection we are told we can’t come in because he’s carrying a man purse and told us we had to go check it at the bowling alley. Now there are obviously a number of issues with this, the fact that a straight man carries a purse to a baseball game will not be one of we will take on today though.


First issue, this just proves again that the terrorist won, the fact that a straight man can’t carry in a small handbag into a stadium is ludicrous. It would be one thing if we were driving a hummer strapped with IED’s to the front gate but this is metrosexual dude carrying a small bag!!!
I’m sure that there was a chance that we were smuggling in a dirty bomb or a large Pepsi but that is why you pay those security people so they can make sure there is nothing dangerous in the bag as you bring it in.
Even checking bags seems to discretionary and just seems another way for idiot security people who have no interest in national security from being able to push around people who are smarter, richer and happier than they are.

This is just another example like the idiocy of not being able to bring a normal size tube of toothpaste onto a plan and proves again that personal freedoms in this country have been obliterated.

Second of all.. Why the hell do they let chicks carry bowling-ball size bags into the stadium with no problem but they won’t allow a guy to bring in a bag? This is absolute bullshit and feminists should be standing up in a sign of solidarity with guys at Stadiums as the sexes are not being treated equally. This is ludicrous and completely discriminatory and there should be lawyers for the ACLU standing up for Yankee fans. Actually this issue is so big that the ACLU lawyers should be flanked by lawyers for the AARP, the AAA and the UCLA out there too.


This is the same kind of crap they pull at an airport when they charge $25 to a 120 pound woman for trying to bring on a suitcase weighing 22 pounds on board but don’t charge a 250 pound woman anything when she brings on an 8 pound bag.

  1. that's totally ridiculous. I am all for the man-purse. So tired of Matt putting his shiz-nat in my purse because he doesn't want to carry it... asking me for tissues... etc. Men should carry purses. Period. And I love my huge purse because I don't need shopping bags when I buy stuff. Saving the environment, one purse at a time! :)
