I'm posting this article because I am curious to see how INTP's react to it vs. INTJ's. (in both forums)
Ines Sainz Harassment Case – New York Jets Reporter Receives Apology From Jets Owner Woody Johnson | UKTODAYNEWS.COM
What the article fails to mention is that she is a former Miss Universe contestant and has provocative photos of herself on her website. Her attire when she is reporting football games wouldn't be allowed in a business office, or the local news for that matter.
My Reaction:
This story has bothered me quite a bit. It seems absurd to me that Ms. Sainz should be viewed as some kind of victim. She is a former Miss Universe contestant, who dresses in the tightest outfit possible, enters a MEN's locker, and then is shocked that a room full of men with raging testosterone are making suggestive comments about her. To this I say: REALLY?
Let's back up. I understand, the idea of not blaming the victim. A woman walking down the street in public shouldn't be accosted with sexually charged comments. It is wrong of a man to do so, regardless of what she is wearing. However, if she is wearing something provocative, isn't she in some way, inviting those comments?
This doesn't let men off the hook from acting inappropriately, but at the same time, is it not ridiculous for her to act shocked that a guy would say something? If I go to the ghetto at 3am, dressed in a tux and flashing a Rolex, how sorry is someone going to be for me if I'm robbed? Does that make it morally acceptable for someone to rob me? No. But what about my responsibility in the matter to act with some sort of common sense as well; to not put myself in a situation where it is probable that something "undesirable" would happen to me?
What do you think?
