I was just watching the end of Wimbledon, and there was a camera behind Djokovic walking back through corridors to wherever he goes now (shower, I assume.)
One woman stepped behind him as he passed and patted his bum. How is that any more acceptable than if it was done to a woman?
Obviously it's not, but I am not sure that if it were the women's champion walking through the corridors with cameras behind her, no one would even have tried it - though I don't doubt the female tennis players will all have experienced plenty of sexist behaviour during their careers, and the French winner last year whose name I've forgotten was certainly judged on her appearance rather than her playing.
But why don't some people realise that it's not okay to try and touch someone's bum, whether they're male or female?
