Naturally over at menslib they're largely dismissing this and giving it the "what about teh womyns" treatment.

Such is feminism.

But if we're to have gender equality this has to be treated exactly the same as if the genders were reversed. Women shouldn't have the right to publicly sexually assault men.

So does the BBC have an article that actually calls out the harassment and is critical of the female fans or is their sole coverage simply the debate over whether this is or should be consider sexual harassment?

Compare and contrast. When the female reporter was kissed, according to the article...

Female World Cup reporter sexually assaulted during live broadcast

“We do not deserve this treatment,” Gonzalez posted on Instagram with the footage of her report. “We are equally valuable and professionals. I share the joy of football, but we must identify the limits of affection and harassment.”

She added, “I had been at the scene for two hours to prepare for the broadcast and there had been no interruptions. When we went live, this fan took advantage of the situation. But afterward, when I checked to see if he was still there, he was gone.”

Bibiana Steinhaus, Germany’s first female referee in the Bundesliga soccer league, later commented on the incident and blamed the male-dominated sports culture for the man's actions.

“I feel for her because this type of attack has happened several times in the past,” Steinhaus told Deutsche Welle. “Don’t kid yourself that similar misogynist things do not happen.”

It's only sexism when men do it, so say the feminists.
