'Never do this to a woman. Respect.' Too right https://t.co/NNxmAIyFzk

Here’s what she told him.
“Don’t do this. Never do this again, OK?
“I don’t allow you to do that, never. OK? This is not polite. This is not right.
“Never do this. Never do this to a woman, OK? Respect.”
And by the sounds of his voice, he certainly won’t be doing it again.
He's lucky she didn't whack him one around the lug-hole with her microphone.

It appears some men don't have a clue what boundaries are; I see it every flipping day on Twitter, so you can imagine what it's like in real life

Except not everyone thought he had done anything wrong.
Lots of people have given me a kiss on the cheek. Nans, grandads, work colleagues, boys in the playground (kids chase!). Is that sexual assault? Might I add none of them asked for my permission first. Yet it was fine with me!

What about total strangers? While you're trying to do your job?

He's only being friendy! Chill out woman

Jesus, the misogyny on this thread! Don’t touch women you don’t know without their consent. We are not things to be played with, we are human beings with boundaries and feelings. It’s not a difficult fucking concept to grasp! This sort of shit is scary for women, don’t do it!

Not agreeing with the misogyny at all but while on that subject surely now we also need to get did of other things such as Magic Mike stage shows, Loose Women etc etc. It has to work both ways

Context is everything, surely, Michael? There's a big difference between a show where men apparently enjoy getting their kit off and encouraging women to touch them, and a woman simply trying to do her job?

Julia Guimaraes said it wasn’t the first time it had happened to her during the tournament.
“It’s awful. I feel helpless, vulnerable. This time I gave an answer, but it’s sad, people do not understand. I wanted to understand why he thinks he has a right to do that.”
