    Which would you prefer OP: both male and female gropers being guilty of assault, or everyone free to grope with impunity?

    Being groped is not nice for anyone, of either gender, though some women have told me that being groped by a guy can be quite intimidating, as generally the guy will be bigger and stronger, normally not an issue when a guy is groped by a gal.
    It also seems to be the case, in nightclubs at least, that more girls are groped compared to those who grope.

    It is wrong that there's a double standard, but I do see where it comes from.

    Nobody should grope anyone's arse without consent. Culturally though, it's taken less seriously if it happens to a man. Not saying that's right - I think it's obnoxious carry-on and I wouldn't do it - but that's the reality. Maybe it'd help if it was taken more seriously.

    Exactly that slut of a dermot fondler should be strung up as an example.

    I've never minded someone groping my ass, but then I'm a man and a lot less sexually repressed.

    If you're groped, you should have every right to grope them in return. If they're ugly, you can sue.

    Damn, I walked right past Miriam O'Callaghan as she interviewed Martin Sheen a few weeks back at JDIFF. I should have gave her arse a good groping and then just said: "Ah sure it clearly made her day". Opportunity missed.

    I had to Google Holly Willoughby 'cause I had no idea who she was. To be fair, I'd let her grope me too.

    Eh, stuff like that happens to me on nights out all the time, even when walking down the street etc. It really annoys me that I can't do anything about it and it's sick that some of them are way older than me, and obviously I don't go around grabbing random guy's asses. But none of those men are going to be charged with harassment, so why should a woman be?

    Why are you just accepting it :confused:
    Plenty of men have been charged for doing it before. If you just let them away with it scot free they'll keep on doing it.

    Can't ever see women getting charged for groping guys to the same degree that men do when the victim is a woman, as in general, society just doesn't see the two acts in same light. People just laugh when women assault guys in this manner. Heck, physical violence by women on men is often laughed at, never-mind mere groping.

    Seen the following video a while back and I hope this woman got charged, as if it was a guy, he'd being doing time for attempted rape of a minor for sure:

    should be a law passed: guy gets his ass groped by a woman, he gets to feel her tits in return.

    problem solved.

    Anyone else spot the dangerous implication here, groping is ok if you're just a little less repressed. Tell that to a woman who's been on the end of unwarranted sexual attention.

    When I was 17 to 19 I worked as a glass collector in a hotel. We had to wear black pants, white shirt tucked in and a dicky bow.

    Just about every night there would be some gang of older women who would spend the entire night trying to outdo each other in groping, grabbing, pinching you. Carrying stacks of glasses theirs not much you can do to remove some wrinkly old hand cupping your crotch.

    Id say since then more often then not when a drunk stranger has touched me its been a woman at least 20 years my senior. They seem to think if their old enough to be your mother or grandmother then its all good fun.

    That programme of which I never ever watched yet I know about it.

    They clutch at every little non consequence bullsh!t to get a headline and yet here it is on boards after some hapless chap falls for the xfactor publicity machine.

    It's hard to know if you're serious here, OP. I can see your point and I agree but your posts are jokey and if you were really concerned about this, then perhaps AH isn't the place to post about it. If you're just making a point for the sake of it, then it's hard to take what you say seriously when you comment on the woman's looks etc (which should be besides the point) therefore making the plight of men being groped in public a little hard to take seriously by many. Ye get me?

    I'm not accepting it, sometimes it's when they're walking past on purpose so they won't get caught, or else it's men who are way older than me. To be honest I'd just want to get away from them rather than start an arguement with them because if they're the type of person who does things like that in the first place they're hardly going to apologise or anything, more likely would try to make fun of me for saying something. I'll do something the next time though, it's really annoying.

    Anyway back to thread, there is no double standard. It's the same type of person who does this, male or female.

    I do think their is a double standard. I never see any guys doing this but you can see groups of women doing it as if its socially acceptable. The pic posted by the op shows her doing it without feeling any need to disguise what shes doing, this does not happen the other way around.

    When I am groped which has happened but very rarely I have taken it as a compliment and not demeaning.

    When a woman is groped it is demeaning. Its the actions of a more powerful group over another.

    An extreme similar example is if I call a Black guy a ni**er that is demeaning, when a black guy calls me a whitey that is not.

    and there was I thinking we had set some kind of record by not having a thread started today about some piece of nonsense in some crappy little English tabloid.

    It seems AH posters are in thrall to this particular piece of rubbish and the Z-listers it features. Ah well, it's probably less harmful than having bankers posting... unless of course ...
