To be disappointed with how soft play handled this man

So it'd be fine to say to a 16 year old girl? 17 year old? 18 year old...?

You were more misogynistic yourself with this appalling comment :

“The pick mes on this thread are very busy dick pandering”

Yes, I went up in age, because I'm wondering when it becomes acceptable.

Really? I have the same high standards for myself as I do for my daughter. I'm sorry that your standards for how you are treated are lower.

Yes, people excusing and justifying casual misogyny as 'just a joke' does tend to make me indignant.

You ‘clarified’ in the following post, exactly as I said, then went up to 18-20. If you think an adult male making sexual jokes to a 16 year old is the same as making them to a 40 year old then that says a lot about you, my standards for my 16 year old daughter if I had one would be far higher.

Nope. I said 'young teenager' initially, and then immediately clarified with 16.

And I think you're the one who's all twisted up in knots, considering you just tried to say a man would be a paedophile if he made that joke to a 16-year-old...but that's alright. I've made my point.

I'm sure the men will appreciate your support of them in making sexual jokes.

But if he did....?

He didn't though so it's a moot point.

but you are a master at self-righteous indignation

Sorry to disappoint, but I'm afraid I'm incombustible.

Mock all you like - I'm a grown woman and I'm mature enough to shrug my shoulders at little digs and criticisms. I developed that ability around the same time I learned to take a joke.

A bloke would have said the same to a bloke and added a fart its not sexual

I reported an inappropriate sexual comment made by another parent at a soft play area yesterday.

I was climbing down from one of the raised areas with my DS and didn’t realise he was climbing up. I said a polite sorry and he replied not to worry and that if he knew his £10 entry included him getting an arse in his face he would have visited months ago. I challenged him and then reported to staff.

The staff approached me 10/15 minutes later to say they’d spoken to him and he had admitted saying that but was ‘obviously joking’ and he relayed his apologies, so they considered the matter sorted.

Personally, I think he should have been asked to leave. He made me feel extremely uncomfortable and could have gone on to say similar to other parents present.

Careful, @OtterlyAstounding will spontaneously combust with self-righteous indignation

Ahhh, so you're saying a teenager won't yet be desensitised to low level sexual harassment, and trying to equate that desensitisation to 'maturity'?

You think that a woman's 'maturity' depends on her ability to smile and take it in stride as a man makes a very immature sexual joke about her?

How interesting.

Your first example was young teenager. You’ve raised the age almost every time you’ve mentioned it. Odd that you think he wouldn’t have said a sexual tone joke to a 70 year old but would to a child. Your mind is quite twisted on this subject. And it’s all pretty irrelevant because OP hasn’t said anything to suggest she’s a child or an OAP.

I'd have said: "You should see what you get for £15!"

But again, that's why I'm self-employed

Because I doubt he would've have made the comment to a 70-year-old woman, considering it was sexual in tone.

You're also very confused if you think that a man making that comment to a 16-year-old would be a paedophile.

I also chose that age as an example because despite the fact that legally speaking he could have sex and a relationship with that 16-year-old, it really clearly highlights just how inappropriate and invasive the comment is.
