Saw her last week. Good fun. I missed the opportunity to wear my glittery Christmas dress though. We all know she has legs that go on for days and likes to show them off (so would I if I had them!). At various points during the show she had to bend over (dropped something and so on). Every single time, at least one man wolf whistled. One man started and then others thought it was OK to join in. I mean, really? They weren't sat near me or I would have said something. It pissed me right off. We were there to sing and dance to a bit of disco and grotty men insist on making their thoughts knoen about how attractive she is. As if anyone cares. Most of the audience were 50+ which somehow made it even more grim. Yuk just yuk.

Blatant sexual harassment is diabolical. The trouble is nowadays it appears if a man so much as looks, or dare I say it winks at a female they're accused of sexual harassment. Sexual predators have no place in a civil society. This doesnt mean we should wish for all men to turn into eunuchs.

Edited

I agree.

I can remember a woman making a thread about a boy at college telling her same age Daughter that she was pretty. She was fuming.

Could you imagine this today, or is different because he’s a man? I’ve been to lots of Take That concerts and you are absolutely right, I’m personally jealous of this girl, hopefully one day he’ll notice my tits!!Jokes obviously but I’m sure if Robbie Williams ever felt in danger he’d have security sort it, same with any stage performance.

Show quote history

Eww, that is grim.

Would it be OK if it was a female singer and male fan? Well first off she'd be called all sorts of names for having a random person on stage for a slow dance. Then if she complained about a grope, she'd be told it was her fault but if she didnt complain she'd be called names (by men and sadly women) for "letting / encouraging" men to touch her and she'd be considered "free game". I think RW squeezes the woman's breast in response to her squeezing his bum? If the female singer touched the man's crotch in response to him squeezing her bum, again, she'd be called names. The event would follow/tarnish her career (like Myley Curus twerking). So basically, a female singer would be dawned if she did and dawned if she didnt.

Whoever said about the act being able to get help if they felt in danger, it isnt necessarily about feeling in danger. Its more insidious and subtle. Its about intimidation and power.

Was it her fault for wearing the short skirt so the poor ickle men couldn't help themselves?

Those damn women wanting to celebrate their bodies and or even just wear the clothes they want. I shall write to her management company straight away and insist on her only wearing baggy floor length skirts from now on. We cant be blaming men for their bad behaviour when there are (shock!) legs on show.

So I guess you think its ok for builders to sexual harass women walking past in summer wear and its all just too terribly woke and PC that they cant now and... and... and... snowflakes and stuff innit.

Jesus OP, you've never been to a Robbie Williams.concert have you.

Literally thousands of women, screaming at him, throwing their bras at him, shoving their tits in his face and asking him to sign them.

Believe me, women are far worse than men when it comes to stuff like their.

There's even a video of his Knebworth concert on YouTube where a woman is brought on stage to sing with him and she gropes his arse without so much as a consensual thought!

Imagine if a man did that to a female singer! Oh the humanity!

If you are unable to express yourself without doing it in a sexually inappropriate manner then you need to take a look at yourself.

Couldn't disagree more. What you call 'sexually inappropriate' some of us would call sexually liberated. SEB - in fact any woman - is allowed to express herself how she sees fit!

Show quote history

I’m a sexually liberated as they come but I can manage to be that way without resorting to sexual harassment. There is no excuse for sexual harassment - man or woman.

I’m a member of Skirt Club which means I attend events which are focused on sex and female sexuality. In my 10 years of membership I’ve managed to express that I’m sexually attracted to other members without being inappropriate or sexually harassing anyone.
Nobody is saying you can’t express yourself but that shouldn’t include sexually harassing other people.

HighLadyofTheNightCourt · 06/06/2025 07:46

No we’ve not lost our sense of humour. It’s just that people (mainly women) are more likely to call out inappropriate sexual behaviour. That is a good thing.
If you are unable to express yourself without doing it in a sexually inappropriate manner then you need to take a look at yourself.

There was a thread recently where the OPs husband had made an inappropriate comment to a colleague. The thread was full of people claiming ‘ you can’t say anything anymore’. Which is bollocks. Just don’t say of behave in a sexually inappropriate way. It’s really not difficult.

Yup. Along with 'Give Good Feeling to me', 'Do What U Like to me' and the pretty blatant 'f* me (insert boybander's name here)'. Guess what: no one batted an eyelid.

To be honest, I think we've lost our sense of humour when it comes to flirting, banter etc, that people are frightened of making any advances for fear of being accused of being a predator.

My guess is SEB knew exactly what she was doing, got exactly the reaction she wanted from doing it - and men are not predators for responding.

It was a wolf whistle at a concert. I think some of you need to get a grip. You & your children are going to hear worse than this. There are going to be young women calling you Karens for being so serious.

Edited

Yeah, I’ve heard and personally experienced much worse. Doesn’t mean I don’t feel it’s important to challenge the low level stuff.
And Karen is an awful misogynistic slur.

The most surprising thing for me about this thread is that Sophie EB was able to fill a concert venue. I'd assume it was either a very small venue or it was a free event. 😄

She's at the Royal Albert Hall next week. It's almost sold out 😁

TipsyRaven247 · 05/06/2025 21:36

Sure, because we all know teenage girls never go wild when they see a boy band up close.

She can wear exactly what she wants, but she was also fully aware of the fact that wearing a very short skirt and bending over would illicit the exact reaction she was looking for and encouraging!

She is doing a full sold out tour to "proper venues". Ive just looked and she has 7 albums (including double platinums) plus albums with remixes etc. She has won Brit awards.

I just quite like a few of her songs and she was near me.

There's always a dipropionate amount of women on here who seem to suffer sexual harassment every time they leave the door! Every interaction with a man seems to leave them feeling vulnerable and harrased!

If you read what people are writing you’ll see that nobody has says what you are suggesting.

I saw her last night in Brighton and she did the kicky leg thing and wore her usual sequin short dress and then changed into her green sequin leotard with lots of fringing. Not once did anyone wolf whistle her. It was a fun performance with lots of disco hits, so its definitely not a set-up part of her show.
