Quote:Drunk groping by males used to be tolerated by women (and still is) - distasteful as it can be. It wasn't such a crime that you ran off to the local authorities and laid criminal charges.
Ah, a bit of sexual abuse - as long as it's all in fun, eh?
I made that post a little bit cynically Annie. Women of my generation just accepted this sort of abuse as our lot and tolerated it. Of course if it led to violence - it should be reported. Young women seem to accept it today also, but it just seems ironic that a new generation of males seems so indignant and insulted.
Obviously it isn't acceptable behaviour groping a steward in the crutch - but I wonder how many stewardesses have tolerated exactly the same assault without complaint.
Sometimes these things just happen and it seems a little over the top turning this into a lawsuit.
Well this is fascinating.

Of course- circumstances being as bereft as they are, I can't offer a view either way. But Jeez - a pint of whiskey?? on a plane??? unless she was a 140 KG mammoth, and was sitting on him. ?

surely he could have ...stepped away?? and sought assistance ( back-up?)

Oooh you r wicked.
How pathetic when a man needs a smacking COURT to deal with a drunken woman's causual grope. - Soren
Yep - its a good'n. Of course, Soren, your contempt is duly noted. Your disbelief that a drunken woman could pose any sort of threat to YOU is pretty typical of misogynists. Like you?
Maybe you'd recommend a king hit?
And, in this case, who knows.... ??? not enough info.
But hey, I'd not be snickering too soon... and I'd improve my editing, if I were you. OH OK everyone makes mistakes .... free pass.!!!!
