I've seen groping a-plenty in clubs (it was never my style) but it's far from just restricted to men, and this is where a lot of stories in the media currently annoy me.
What I find ***ist is that women, who lets face it are smarter than us men, are portrayed as naive poor damsels in distress who are oblivious to the world in which they put themselves.
The charity night that got out of hand. As far as i'm aware (I may be wrong) that was only the opinion of an undercover reporter who obviously had an agenda anyway. I don't think any waitress has made a complaint and probably because they wern't waitresses, they were from a modelling agency. I know women that have done this kind of work and they know exactly what they're doing and what they're getting themselves into. They have certain assets and they make the most of them.
Even somewhere as obvious and tacky as Hooters. I went in there last year and whilst ordering my drinks/food at the table the waitress knelt between my legs to take my order and rested one hand on the inside of my thigh. She knew exactly what she was doing. She wouldn't do that in any other situation, she was just trying to earn a better tip. If I was to claim I've been violated or touched inappropriately people would rightly say 'don't go to Hooters then'
My personal opinion is people shouldn't grope people because it's tasteless and you have no right to do so. On the flipside if you think there aren't women (and men) out there that target these sorts of environments, or would jump at the chance of a rich guy giving them a key to there room then you're deluded.
