Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  (CNN) Kāore au i te kōrero i ngā wā katoa mō ngā kaupapa rongo ki aku tamahine, engari i reira tētahi mea e pā ana ki te kōrero o te kairipoata o ESPN a Britt McHenry me te huarahi whakahē rawa i kōrero ai ia ki taua kaimahi o te kamupene towing i mea ai ahau ki te whakahua i taua mea. Ko tētahi o ngā mea matua e kauwhau ana ahau ki aku kōtiro, e 7 me te 9 tau te pakeke, ko te hiranga o te whakaute i ētahi atu tangata, ahakoa ko wai koe, ahakoa he aha hoki te mea ka tutuki i a koe. He mea e mahia ana e maua ko taku tahu -- e whakaatu ana mātou i te whakaute ki te katoa mai i te taraiwa ki te kaiako ki te Perehitini o Te Hononga o Amerika. Me kii atu e au i konei kua ngaro taku manawa mai i tenei wa ki tenei wa, ahakoa he waea waea ki tetahi kamupene kaari nama ki te amuamu mo nga utu mutunga, he wheako ranei mo te ratonga kino i te wharekai. I aua wā, i te wā e whakaaro ana ahau ka pupuhi au, ka mea tonu ahau, "E kore e whakaaetia, e kore e whakaaetia", ka whakairi atu rānei i runga i te whakarihariha, ka rere rānei. (Ehara i te mea tino pai ki te whakahaere i ēnei take, engari i ngā wā katoa e kore ahau e whakaaro ki te whakahawea, ki te whakaiti rānei i tētahi atu tangata i roto i ēnei āhuatanga.) Ko etahi o nga korero a McHenry, penei i tana "i runga i te pouaka whakaata", e tohu ana kei te whakaaro pea ia i te whakaaro morearea, na te mea o tana mahi, tana maatauranga me tana moni whiwhi, he pai ake i nga taangata kaore i te utu i tana mahi, i te momo mahi, i nga whai waahi matauranga ranei. I whakaaturia e McHenry kua wareware ia ki aua akoranga "ture koura" mai i te tamarikitanga, kaore ranei ia i noho i tona oranga ki taua kupu. Kua mihi a McHenry i runga i a Twitter, e kii ana i korero ia "i etahi mea whakahawea me nga mea pouri", me te pouri i a ia i te wa o tana wheako i tetahi kamupene taraiwa i Virginia, me "kowhiri tonu ia ki te whakaute me te whai i te huarahi teitei". Engari kāore i te mārama ka makona te whakapae i te tangata i mātakitaki i te ataata o tana whakawhitinga ki te kaimahi o te kamupene towing. "I kite ahau i tenei ataata a Britt McHenry, ka whakaaro: ehara i te mea mo te ahua o te rongonui kaore e mahi i te iwi whanui, ko te ahua o tatou katoa kaore e mahi", i tuhia e "Cait" i runga i Twitter. Ka mea a "Shannon", i runga anō i a Twittter, "Kāore he...
I hopukina e te kairipoata o ESPN a Britt McHenry i runga i te ataata e whakahe ana i tētahi kaimahi o te kamupene towing. I whakamahia e Kelly Wallace o CNN te pūrākau hei wā ako mō ana tamahine. Ka taea e McHenry te ako mai i ētahi atu tangata rongonui i whakautu pai i roto i ngā āhuatanga taumaha.
