    So should all female reporters assigned to cover the Middle East feel that way?

    This, buck, is a generational issue, too.

    It wasn't as "you go, dude" to tell your administrator that you didn't want to do your job in the previous generation.

    What do you think the odds are they don't?

    I for one enjoyed the comparison of the ANGC membership committee to the Guardian Council.

    Oh, I'm pretty sure there were a lot more employee strikes and walkouts (aka, "don't want to do my job", for reasons both personal and professional) in the last three or four generations than there have been in mine.

    Besides, Karen Crouse is not in my generation.

    Buck: I have certainly covered events at places I could never get into if I was not reporting.

    Racial/ethnic, no. Economic discrimination, sure. I have covered events at gold clubs I simply could not afford to be a member of.

    Didn't think anyone had to spell this out ...

    You are allowed to make more money and join said clubs. Crouse cannot change her gender and become a member of ANGC.

    Calling that discrimination is disingenuous.

    Equating her stated intentions with an employee walkout or strike -- that's disingenuous.

    How I wish more women posted on this board.

    I don't disagree with you. But why this time?

    Y'all are allowed to, this isn't Augusta.

    I didn't equate her intentions. You spoke of a generational divide about "telling your administrator you didn't want to do your job." I pointed out that a lot more people from yours and Karen's generation have acted on that sentiment than they have in mine.
