"Name five players on the Giants." I can’t even count on my fingers and toes how many times I’ve heard that. As a female sports fan‚ that seems to be the question that guys think "proves" if you are a real fan or if you just like to talk a big game. Why does it seem gender roles are upheld obsessively in some instances and completely disregarded in others? Women: Does your mom ever tell you that the guy should always pay for a meal?
