NFL player Julian Edelman went to an event for female football fans. Here are a couple quotes from an article about it:
“Hey man,” Edelman suddenly said, breaking his signing rhythm to turn to Ross. “Can you make sure one of your people is closer to me when we do these photos? People are, like, grabbing my ass and [expletive].”
Ross looked horrified for a moment and then quickly collected himself. He nodded his head many times and said, “Oh, absolutely. Sorry about that, Julian. We’ll definitely make sure that doesn’t happen again.”
“Yeah, just have your staff be around a little more, if possible,” Edelman said. He started to laugh. “I mean, someone was caressing my butt!”
“If I were a woman and these were men, I think I’d be feeling sexually harassed right now,” Edelman half-joked as he walked between photo ops.

Somehow I have a feeling that if, say, Maria Sharapova were doing a clinic for male tennis fans and they all mobbed her and grabbed her ass, and she had to get security involved, it wouldn't be treated as a laughing matter.
