What's with your attitude towards women? What happened in your life to make you so suspicious of us and regard us as despicable and hateful, seemingly across the board? Your mother?

I want women to call out inappropriate behaviour against men by women. It’s that simple. Not rocket science or amateur psychology.

I’d a few women feeling up my arse in a pub a few weeks ago, I had a great laugh at it as did my oh. Couldn’t understand someone getting bothered about it.

I think it is because they like to turn it into an empowerment issue. Self worth much like if a black fella was called black xyz by a white fella - racism.
Vice versa nothing happens. It is an historical legacy

Basically women are just getting over thier oppression from over a century /40 years ago, and feel the need to show now what a 'modern woman' does.

I am sure if men used to have to stay at home and mind the kids they would feel oppressed too. So there would feel the need to act on a 'violation'.
It turns into a party line - 'as a woman' etc.
As if they represent all women. That always amuses me,

Also, the sensationalism by these media outlets ironically controls these modern women. It can shape thier thoughts and play them like a harp.

The guy who did that was a prick, did you see the look on her face, she was horrified. That was a genuine reaction.
Doing her job trying to be professional and that happens.

If he did think it was harmless fun, hopefully he can learn from this.

Anybody dismissing this as a joke and that this girl is looking for compo needs to take a long hard look at themselves. Did you not see the girl's reaction when it happened? Her look of shock and embarrassment wasn't faked for compo reasons and she didn't think it was fun. What gives this asshole the right to do anything to her? I hope he's facing repercussions.
If that happened to my wife or daughter, I'd be hunting the fecker down.

Hunting him down to do what to him exactly? Demand satisfaction?

I was out with an ex of mine a few years ago and as she walked back to the table from speaking with friends, someone smacked her on the arse. She didn’t even bat an eyelid only she started laughing when she came back and sat down next to me. He was harmless and it didn’t bother me in the slightest. If anything it was a compliment to me, I got to go home and ride her every night.

This carry on of people getting offended over people getting a smack on the arse is beyond ridiculous at this stage. It’s a bit of fun for God’s sake. It’s not as if your man pulled down her pants and raped her on live tv.

I wouldn't sue obviously but it's fecking annoying getting your arse slapped a stranger. It's obnoxiously rude.

She's going OTT now (much to the delight of folk here) but just looking at the incident by itself, it was an objectively sh1tty thing to do, which they know full well.

Ah look I know nobody said it was ok but I think it's just the absolute barrage of 'bad male behaviour' stories you hear these days.

As a man I've stopped listening to the news altogether, it's depressing stuff, it got to a point where I was turning on the radio saying 'ok tell why I'm a piece of shít today'.

Here’s Geri Halliwell, caught on camera, trying to check out married man Andy Murray’s private parts last year. Don’t recall it going viral, or the handwringing about consent, inappropriateness etc.

Here’s how it was reported. “Geri Horner sings Spice Girls songs in bed to Andy Murray in ' incredibly awkward' Sport Relief sketch.â€

Why on earth are you bringing gender politics into it?

This is about someone being slapped on the arse while in the middle of a live broadcast and it was a sh1tty thing to do. That's it!

Again you are deliberately missing my point I feel.

Male broadcasters who are kissed by women on air or groped etc end up in the funny clips videos.
You know it and I know it. To say otherwise is lies.

No where did I say a women deserves a smack on the arse. That is your own interpretation. It is these type of comments that do equality more harm than good. You are basically making up things I said now to try and waffle your way out of corner. Of course it is to do with the sex of the person that much is self evident. But it is obvious not a point you feel comfortable admitting to for whatever reason. The stay classy remark demonstrates to me that you have already 'branded' me as there is no grey area in your mind.So the sex of the individuals and context are all ignored by you because you seem blinkered on the issue?

And apparently women felt flattered or thought it was just a laugh years ago. No evidence for this of course but must be true.

Of course some women would feel flattered if she got a smack on the arse particualry if she found him attractive. It works the other way as well of course.

But the difference is if a man got hit on the arse by a women in the same scenario above -

1) He would not sue
2) It would not be politicized
3) It would not be sensationalized

You can say what you like and dance around the points I am making all day.
But I challenge you to disprove those three points I have listed.

Gorm, I was obviously addressing Beechwood. You need not try to discredit me by telling me I'm making things up about you when I clearly addressed him.

I never denied anything you said either - my only objection is to the way people are so at pains not to admit this was a sh1t thing to do to a broadcaster (and ridiculing it too) because they can't be having the women getting one up on them.

Everybody should keep their hands to themselves. Gropers don't know what they are dealing with grabbing at just anyone. Its a possible way to get a good wallop after it, then maybe fall over and break your neck off something after you land sideways on it. Could get a connect that would kill you outright before you even fall. Only thing you'll be grabbing then is the complimentary rosary beads in a box.

The bit that annoys me is the moral high ground holier than thou posts like yours. It seems to only go one way.
I remember reading Lilly Allen got in bed with fella she did not know unannounced. Is that sexual harassment or is it not because the man is less likely to say no.

There seems to be a a real societal hypocrisy and game around the whole issue these days.

Yes, it's also sexual harassment if it’s female-on-male. Do you want everyone to object or nobody? It’s unclear.

I'm laughing at the big brazen head on him as he approaches. He knew right well what he was going go do. And then making up a frankly bizarre but hilarious explanation that he was trying to raise his hands, when he did the opposite.

The news report was funny too... them going through all the photos, matching race numbers.. tracking down the "knucklehead" as they called him.

He got what was coming to him, sleazy fool.

He won't do that again.

Well, the guy is reaping what he sowed. He made a very silly decision on the spur of the moment and his “apology” was dreadful. His behaviour was, to say the least, inappropriate.

He is not a victim in this situation. He’s an adult man who made a bad choice.

She was slapped on the ass, live on TV, at work. I don’t think anyone on this thread would like for that to happen to their mother, girlfriend or sister. If it did, I don’t think you would tell her to laugh it off.

There’s also a running theme through the thread that this is about demonising men. It’s not. It’s just holding one man responsible for his actions.

We can talk about what would happen if the genders were reversed, but it’s comparing a hypothetical situation to a real one that’s on camera.

I have no doubt that there are women who behave equally inappropriately. That’s not the point of this piece of news though, it’s just an attempt to deflect and minimise.

Youre right, it is revolting behaviour, regardless of the genders involved. I hope you backed up the guy in his objections. If no one does anything then they will continue to think that it is acceptable.

I fail to see the point which is unclear -

Fact men do not sue women for sexual harassment in the same scenario.
Men do not turn it into an empowerment issue because they have no need to they are already 'empowered'.

This is the sole reason women like to make scenarios like the OP's post sensationalized as they can get empowered and make money. Win - win.
This scenario would not be open to a man if the roles were reversed.

Unless it was on the serious end of the scale. Underage sex female teacher male student etc.
That is the point I am trying to make.
I find the level of faux outrage laughable. But when you think about it most broadcasters in the USA are private and are in sensationalist competition.
I would only hope that people do not fall for it and are able to make thier own minds up.

I think it's the fact that it's yet another 'hold men responsible' news story.

I mean at some point it has to go from simply promoting decency and responsibility to being an all out witch hunt. For me it's been a witch hunt for a number of years now and it's going to get worse if we continue to ignore it.

Again trying to discredit me.

She should accept his apology and move on. She's being a tit now. I've no respect for the way she's handling the incident.

But the downplaying and ridiculing of the stunt is rotten. And it is only because she's a woman. And the bizarre justification through whatabouting - "can't call it out for what it is because some women who aren't this woman grope men" and the pretence that all these folk on this thread are saying it's fine for women to slap men on the arse when zero people said it.

I despise women who carry on like that and i do not hang around with any who do so.

Slapping a stranger on the arse is crap behaviour. And it's happened to me many times. I get over it - it's mostly just irritation and "Oh well, people can be idiots". Once I got my arsehole and lady bits grabbed by a woman, and I went ballistic at the stupid bitch. That was the only time I was made really angry by it (and i'm sure some folk here would be fine with that but would call me the usual generic woman bashing things if I had reacted like that to a man doing it) but **** people who say "it doesn't bother me, I enjoy it, I laugh it off - therefore everyone else should feel the same way."

But where is the witch-hunt in this story? It’s not a story about the male gender as a whole, it’s about this one guy. We know it’s not made up because he was retarded enough to do it on camera.

Do you think there should be any consequences at all to touching a woman’s behind on live tv as she goes about her work?

If not, where would you draw the line? What if he’s honka honk’d her boobs? Grabbed her vagina? How would you feel if it was your wife/ daughter/ sister?

The only people making this about men in general are the men on the thread.

Ah here, your man thinks hes back in the fifties where it's ok to give the little woman a slap on the ass.

It's a "hold men responsible" story because a man is responsible.

There's no witch hunt. He can only blame himself.

Have to say this thread is bringing out some real douche bag responses.

This guy was way way out of order.

I think there is an assault case here, possibly of a sexual nature but that would be up to more learned people than myself.

If I were his employer I’d be concerned about his behaviour, if he were in a scout group where my kids went I’d be asking serious questions about his fitness to continue considering his poor inappropriate decision making.

If he’s willing to do that in public what would he do if he thought nobody was looking ??

He was utterly idiotic to do it and it's not something I'd ever do or say was OK, but I don't really get the witch hunt like he's the greatest threat to women since Ted Bundy either.

Some of the news report definitely adopting the Simpsons 'Homer Badman' angle.

What makes me laugh is that people say feminists have a victim mentality. And yet when a woman gets slapped on the arse on live tv, somehow men are the real victims here.

nkl12xtw5goz70

As I posted earlier, what the man did was idiotic and wrong. That said, on the sexual assault severity scale, what he did was probably a 1.5 out of 10 — although you wouldn't know that from some of the overwrought rhetoric that she and her supporters are coming out with.

I also think Ms Bozarjian is using this incident opportunistically as a platform to advance her career. In recent days, she has successfully catapulted herself from an obscure regional reporter — who on Black Friday was "following shoppers on their very exciting endeavors," per her Twitter feed — to a national figure appearing on syndicated talk shows, which is every journalist's dream.

The point I am making it has become politicised.
It gets a layer added to it 0 when a women is assaulted from the minor to major and all in between.

It implied how much strength of character the woman has etc how 'brave' she is.
Phrases such as 'as woman' are used and so on. As if it is a crusade not just for that woman at issue - but for all women etc.

That is what it gets turned into. That is what Hillary tried to do get elected.
As a woman etc.
