Just to this alone, I don't agree that the whistle had anything to do with what happened to him. If you read over the case itself, it has never been proven that he ever whistled or made any motion to the woman in question but you let the majority tell it (thus my example) he did.
HOWEVER, the more important and undeniable fact was he was black and in an area where whites were dominat over the black population. (nice way of saying what I really want to say!)
Now applying this to Miss Sainz' issue is, regardless of if she said anything or said nothing at all, the undeniable fact is, she is a woman, by Western standards considered attractive, and what she wore into the locker room full of men in various states of undress, could be considered provocative.
