Grr. Claire fox on radio 4 just there. Worried that we are in danger of demonising all men and all behaviour as a result of the js scandal. That everyone (women) gets groped at some point and that you might want to deal with it by slapping the guy but it doesn't make it a wider problem seriously? Also that we're in danger of seeing "banter" - that bloody word again as just as bad as sexual assaults etc. Just so dismissive of the culture that must inevitably must lie behind these disgusting abuses.
Can't quite figure it out really - does she want groping and casual sexism to continue in case we offend men's sensitive egos by telling them it's unacceptable? There was an article on the guardian online this morning written by a female TV producer outlining the continuing existence of a deeply sexist culture and the effects on women of this banter and casual groping - can't link as on phone but worth a read.
