Like hell there is. And not the direction you would think either (as the media would have us believe).

If Tulisa (random example) was greeting fans and some bloke decided to reach over a grab a handful, there would be public outrage and a one way ticket to the sex offenders register.

Yours truly,

Grumpy

I think if Dermot had called a policeman over and made a complaint, she would have been arrested in the same way a man would be.

It's only an offence to grope someone who doesn't like being groped. Just because a man is less likely to object than a woman has nothing to do with equality laws.

Indeed that is correct.

Doesn't change the public perception of the act.

Girl gropes a guy, it's a bit of fun, get over it.

Guy gropes a girl, hes a filthy pervert and should be hung.

Don't worry, I'll get over myself once I've had a few more beers.

Normal service will be resumed shortly.

Indeed - there is not full sexual equality. What's your point?

There is full sexual equality, as far as groping someone is concerned, read my post above.

No, that "equality" of which you speak is only as far as the law is concerned.
You'll no doubt be aware that equality in law is only very very small part of true equality, which we're MILES away from.

We've had Australian X factor on TV here recently.

Sporty Spice / Mel is (was?) one of the judges. along with some no hoper Aus pop princess.

All the 'fit' blokes who came onstage to audition they abused and asked them to take of their shirts etc. If the genders had been reversed (even for the chat) there would have been a huge outcry.

No doubt.

But what is your point?

In the UK we have a lamentable programme called Britain's Got Talent....It's not meant to be ironic.
Piers 'ttface' Morgan and Simon Cowell leered a plenty at all the fit hotties, and the Holden woman leered at the fit men. Twas fairly even in the leerage department.
