You are definitely right. That was kind of my point.
It's sad that her immediate response was to feel the need to remain "professional", instead of slapping the douchebag.
Hopefully more hosts, producers, and maybe eventually the public can start making this behavior not ok
I'd imagine that is the reaction that at least 50% of male reporters would have had.
Of course, most of us dudes are so rarely sexually assaulted in public like this that it would be a unique thing, further underscoring the parent's whole point about the reporter's reaction being the most tragic part.
Nah, continuing a task while trying to process something like this is something the vast majority of humans would do.
I remember a common repost on reddit. A female reporter in the 60s asked businessmen on the street about sexual harassment and if it was ok to touch their secretaries. The ones that would say it was ok shed start sexually harassing them and they had no fucking clue what to do.
They reacted the same way, trying to continue the interview but obviously uncomfortable (even tho they had just been flirting with the attractive reporter).
I'm a guy (a pretty big guy at that) and I've had women grope me out of nowhere during my bar days. It's a mindfuck, and you just kind of go on autopilot while you try to rationalize what's happening.
The woman's reaction in this video is completely normal.
Thanks for this dose of reality. It doesn't matter who you are, I should not judge how anyone reacts to inappropriate touching (or just unexpected events in general).
