Slapping tail is assault?

If a man gets his butt slapped, no one cares.

this old chestnut?

I'm Ron Burgundy?

This, unfortunately.

Miserable double standard.

What exactly makes this admitted double standard so miserable for you?

Who filed a complaint (the reporter in Georgia did)?

The camera man is welcome to press charges.

I saw that and had the same thought, that the cameraman looked like "wtf?". I wouldn't think the camera dude was be bitter enough to charge him, but a Bmore employee could be. Probably lucky for the slapper no women were within arms length.

I just watched the end of the Tennessee Titants & Baltimore game. With 30 seconds left on the clock, #55 (no idea who) was tv running around and randomly slapping peoples butt. He slapped a CBS camera man who looked credit surprised, as well as a few Baltimore employees who were caught off guard. Using the previous couple month example of the slapped reporter, how is this not assault? I’m being facetious, but the CBS camera guy looked pissed. I bet he has no grounds to press charges.

The slapping of the reporter's butt was wrong. I don't know what the ramifications to the guy should be, but it was a stupid thing to do. Do you not agree? Whatever #55 did, has nothing to do with the bridge incident.

If he wanted to press charges, he could. If he did, you would say he is weak or something. I'm guessing you are a man. Perhaps you secretly yearn to have a big strong man spank your bottom?

...not that that is wrong. But learn about consent, and respecting people's right to not be grabbed or slapped.

Because it’s hypocrisy. Our culture insists men and women are the same (even interchangeable). Men are told that chivalry is dead, or should be, and that women must be treated exactly the same. Yet in we are a bunch of Victorians when it suits us. A man go to jail for slapping a women’s behind, but no such punishment will be meted out, if the shoe is in the other foot.

NO...it isn't! A double standard here would be if a FEMALE slapped the butt of a MALE, and no one cared about it, ESPECIALLY if it upset the MALE and no one cared.

A dude slapping the butt of another dude (assuming no homosexuality issues or bad blood between the two men) is not the same and not a double standard.

If you see a woman and there’s a bug on her butt, say a tarantula, would you swat it away?

You have a lot of trouble with women, eh?

No. I would inform her, and let her do the honors.
