Just watched This Morning’s clip, were, in the words of Holly Willoughby herself, Allison Hammond ‘mounted’ Jason Donovan.

There was an outcry of women stating that the World Cup kiss was unacceptable.

Where is the outcry of women stating that mounting a male guest is highly inappropriate and unacceptable?

Can you imagine the media & public reaction to a male presenter mounting a female guest. Yet when it’s the other way round it’s apparently fine.

We need to be calling this behaviour out. Can’t have one rule for men and a different set of rules for women.

No doubt someone will be alone here shortly to tell me Jason hasn’t made any complaint about it, therefore it’s okay 🙄✅

Agreed

But I don't expect many on here will tbh

I think we need to acknowledge that the things women do can be as problematic as men and that we laugh at things women do that if men did them we'd be outraged at

@AnObserverInThisDarkWorld I couldn’t agree more
