Imagine if there was a real robbery on a property she is supposed to watch. Do you think her telling these robbers she is a WOMAN and a military vet with post traumatic disorder would cut it? Maybe she should reconsider her occupation. This is not meant in any way as a defence of Matthews, what he did was stupid. But the fact he is a well-known hockey player and she is a female security guard should not make any difference. IF you trully believe in equality.
So she should have done what some other security guard world have and shot the perpetrator?

The point of her being a woman is to make clear how unfunny the "joke" is. Austin has not be charged with "being mean to a woman". If you're a larger man and you don't get spooked by a bunch of men trying to break into your car at 2am -- good on you, but it's hardly a job requirement.
