So she stood still on one spot.? Do you really believe that you can say she never crossed the line? So why post it. Look at the film again all the way through.
So you're saying it's her fault she was sexually harassed? I don't care if she was laying in the middle of the road. The road is large. People can go around.

You will be pleased to know that religion in America is dying. And springing from its
ashes is a wonderful new society of mutual respect, stable homes, loving commitment,
more children, old folk becoming central to family life, fewer drugs, less violence, no
porn etc.. It's going to wonderful when John Lennon's Imagine song truly becomes real.
ps this year another 1.8 million men signed on to child porn.

Who is the female Harvey Weinstein, then? Or the female Ray Kelvin: Ray Kelvin: Ted Baker CEO quits after allegations of 'forced hugging' - CNN
Please note I did not say, or imply, that women are less horny than men.
But the thread title underlines that mainstream American feminism focuses on targeting the "heterosexual, white, Christian male" as negative model.
As if all the members of that group were like that only because of a rotten apple...and btw, I do condemn what he did.
What I mean to say that this narrative does not exist in my country because, being a Mediterranean country, man is not that vilified for being exaggeratedly masculine sometimes or to "cross the line" maybe because we Italian women are so self-confident that being objectified by men does not diminish our ego...it nurtures it.

I'm afraid I don't quite believe that. My experience of Italian men, some years ago admittedly, was that quite a lot of them are - or were - very sexually aggressive and entitled towards women. It may be better now, I admit.
But apparently we are often criticized by feminists from the Anglo-Saxon world who define our TV obscene since female newscasters , hosts don't mind wearing very revealing clothes...
Which makes them imply it is men who chose their outfits. No...they choose their own clothes.

That's a different matter. I quite agree that these people can choose their line of work.
Actually, it appears that the reporter is pursuing criminal charges over this incident: TV reporter seeks criminal charges against man who slapped her backside on camera
Callaway said that he called the TV station and apologized.
I'm not sure what to make of this case. Yes, he did wrong. He committed a crime, and the reporter has every right to pursue charges.
But on the other hand, it was a just slap on the butt. It's not the worst thing in the world.
At 0:14 you can see a female doing the same thing to her.

I think it should be a lawsuit rather than criminal charges.
I have a better idea....Tell American men to move massively to Europe...
So American women will be finally content....without them.

Actually... that might be a beautiful, nearly bipartisan, idea.

There is a difference between identity and equality. Identity is who you are, your history and what you are about. Equality is the ability to meet that identity with openness, empathy and understanding.
To each, for each his own.
I think this video clarifies everything.
And btw....I still think there is an instrumentalization of random ambiguous episodes like this by American feminism which targets "the straight, white, Christian male".

This is so.
I watch a lot of TV....a lot....way too much.
Unwanted touching / hitting of men's nether regions by women is common.
The common situations:
1) It's funny.
2) Men deserve it for saying the wrong thing.
I also observe that sexual violence by men against other men is frequently acceptable.
Caution:
Do not infer from the above that unasked patting wimins on the butt is acceptable.

He could have apologized. I know it is hard sometimes when, as a man, you choose to do something that, in your mind, played out well...but men are famous for that inner narrative not being nearly considerate enough to how other people might feel. Under the stress of an endurance run I am sure that that lapse in judgment is a little more likely.
A lot of people should be targeting the straight, white, Christian male for being an *** when they intentionally or not put their hand without empathy or permission one someone's ***.
We all have our strengths and weaknesses and its fair game if someone can politicize something successfully to an audience who is ready to lap it up. At the end of the day, hopefully we will all recognize that it is better to live together than to live apart.
