Maybe it's just because I'm a chick, but I didn't find his comment offensive when he said it. I figured that he didn't mean like actual females- trainers, maintenance workers, security, hotel staff, etc- that they were dealing with on a daily basis. I figured that he meant women- like puck bunnies. Maybe he should have been more specific. He should have said something like, "It's a good thing there aren't any loose harlots to distract them."
Also, speaking as a woman, dogs and children are distractions from work. They're so darn cute and cuddly and you have to clean up after them, which is time-consuming.
I would think that dogs and children are much more of a distraction than puck bunnies. Well, maybe just the children. You have to give them a lot of attention. All you have to do with dogs and puck bunnies is give them a bone now and then.
