Dermot O'Leary groped by a fan. Nothing negative said about it. 'Story' is covered in a jovial fashion.

The Sun is absolute trash, I wouldn't use it to line a bird cage or wipe my ass with. But yes this is an absolute double standard, a male fan doing this to a female star would be on a sex offender registry before you could blink.

Lol. Had this been reversed the man would be on his way to the path of homelessness

Lasttoflinch · 2022-02-13T13:09:15+00:00

I do not know who he is but apparently it's not the first time.

But yet we’re supposed to stop the world if anyone so much as looks at a woman wrong? I’m so sick of this shit, we have to become as militant as feminists.

binkerfluid · 2022-02-13T16:40:58+00:00

Didnt Taylor Swift get some dude fired (rightfully, if true) for grabbing her butt during some photo thing and it was a big deal?

edit

there was a court case

X FACTOR host Dermot O’Leary got a rude awakening at the new round of auditions after a cheeky fan managed to grab a handful of his bum.

What a curious way of spelling "sex offender". I've never seen it spelled like that

AndyBrown65 · 2022-02-13T23:19:31+00:00

As always, reverse the roles. Imagine a male fan groping a female host. Security would be all over him

Corran_Halcyon · 2022-02-14T05:51:11+00:00

Of course the articles tone was jovial. We men should be thankful a woman deems us worthy of touching and if a beautiful woman gives us any attention we should feel blessed. <Sarcasm>

You just know those "Journalists" who wrote the shit believe they are good at their jobs, and actual journalists.

aknabi · 2022-02-14T08:25:15+00:00

Feminists label that as rape… but as we all know men can’t be raped. (As any female contact should be appreciated and celebrated)

erik-the-first · 2022-02-13T12:44:11+00:00

Yes, this would have been MUCH different if the roles were reversed. If the roles were reversed, this woman would have pressed charges and made a huge deal about it like Tayler swift when she got groped. Luckily men are much more laid back and he probably didn't care at all so it's a non issue. Most women and all feminists are constently looking to find ways to feel victimized because they want the narrative that women are victims to be verified. God forbid these moms with 3 kids and 3 different dads have to take acountability for their screw ups so just find ways to make women the victim and blame society.

ColonelCuntface · 2022-02-14T05:40:07+00:00

He should take legal action. He won't, cause he'd lose, but at least that loss would be on public record.

The more men the justice system publicly fails, and the more prolific these men are, the harder the problem becomes to ignore.

Those that want a narrative of male monsters and female victims to continue are counting on the right victims to stay silent.

Your victim being a man, or a celebrity, is no excuse. Keep your hands to yourself.

strangersadvice · 2022-02-13T13:06:22+00:00

And there it is.

The fact is, gentlemen, there are absoulutely two sets of rules. One for women. One for men. And, for the most part that is OK with me, with one notable exception... the Family Courts.

That is where the rubber meets the road, so to speak. Who ever heard of being a "visitor" to your own children, and paying child support that goes to the benefit of the mother and doesn't make it in any meaningful way to benefit the children.

This sub used to be laser focused on this issue, and should be once again. There is a lot of work to be done; making the Courts more gender neutral, changing the system so it does not reward the abandoment of families by women, and making the cusdody process more accessable to men. I think there should be coaching in high school to ready our young men to make intellegent decisions about reproduction (and the consequenses there of).

You know you’re not wrong. The uproar would have taken over the headlines for days.

ewalsh666 · 2022-02-13T14:49:30+00:00

But if I try grab Cheryl's hole I'm a danger to society

LandscapeClear1630 · 2022-02-13T15:39:03+00:00

That's sexual assault.

zaderexpri · 2022-02-14T11:33:59+00:00

Isn't this the same newspaper paper that supported amber heard and said Johnny depp was the abuser .

Mother-Key582 · 2022-02-14T17:22:18+00:00

There’s also photos of young college aged women who are like “lol that hot guy is bending over! Let me get a selfie!!!!” And people love it. There’s one with Aaron Rodgers bending over while playing golf and I think she even touched his ass. Or that was somebody else. Either way, It’s fucking disgusting and those bitches needed to get called out NOW.

There was another thing I read about Luke Bryan’s wife filming him while he was in the shower, as a “prank.” And she posted it online. And every girl was squealing “omg you can almost see his cock!!! 😆😁” Are you fucking kidding me? How is he ok with that? If that were my SO and an almost naked video of me got uploaded as a “prank,” I would be livid. And if the roles were switched, he would’ve immediately been “canceled” and it would be a huge news story and a TV movie would be made and there would be protests. 🤦‍♂️

I know this isn’t exactly relevant to the article but there’s still a double standard that people are obviously ignoring.

emerald_engineer_08 · 2022-02-13T16:54:37+00:00

He handled it better than I would have….

connecteduser · 2022-02-13T21:04:16+00:00

We should work to have woman shrug it off like men do than have men play the victim like women do.

Someone touching your bum is not a big deal.

Tonguepokemyfartbox · 2022-02-14T16:02:54+00:00

Since the Weinstein revelations I would imagine this would be treated differently regardless of gender. I did wonder why not, but looked a bit closer, realized both that X-Factor isn't happening right now and everyone in the photos is in summer clothing.

This is an article from 10th June 2016, I believe the angle would be different post Weinstein. Not hugely different, probably no legal action, but a different take on it by reporters, even at The Sun. Here's an example not long after the Alyssa Milano #MeToo news.

TruthHuntress · 2022-02-13T22:44:13+00:00

I was standing on stage at a concert once and a girl in the crowd kept groping my genitals. Everybody looking on laughed. So did I because I thought it was great. But ya.
