Nowhere else is this clearer than in the comments of Lt. Col Betsy Schoeller, who on Facebook suggested that the sexual harrassment Guillen intended to report was par for the ... ...more

EnglishMajorLeagues
I was reading an interesting internet argument this morning (as of course we all do), about why it is that women are "allowed" to wear bikinis in public and feel free to do so, but in a bra and underwear, suddenly she is overly modest.
