Anna Rawson, glamazon golfer, is more well known for her appearances on runways, women's magazine covers and men's magazines has opened her mouth and said something that probably came out the wrong way.
In an interview on an Australian radio station, she said the following:
"The tour has got so much better with so many young stars and great players, but the mentality unfortunately amongst the media and the industry hasn't changed. They still think we're at 25 years ago when the tour was full of, you know, a lot of dykes and unattractive females nobody wanted to watch."
Apparently, she's not about making strides for the feminism movement.
She later went on to backtrack and say that the opinion she gave was not her own, but that of society's. She went on to talk about the difference in what men and women make in golf and how women don't get the sponsorhip dollars awarded to their male counterparts.
So did she really mean to say that women don't get sponsorship dollars and don't make as much as men because society thinks they're dykes and women with bodies nobody wants to watch? It sounds like she's using the same mentality applied when the making the movie "Snakes on a Plane."
It probably would have been a better idea just to apologize and leave it at that.
