I thought so, my answer was trying to be amusing. I have failed. Again.

True. But I'm not going to stalk them, on the off-chance that they might be into that shit.

Nobody is saying don’t ask.

The what?

Absolutely. I think the majority of people can judge a situation and usually don’t mean any offence when interacting with people they are attracted to. At work, if a new woman starts, I’ll usually ping their bra on the first day. As a sort of litmus test. If that goes well, I’ll move onto the...

I am saying it’s not black and white. It’s all about context. Lots of grey area. Okay, let’s say it’s a riskier approach. Nothing wrong with it but I can see why some people would take exception to it. Are people treading on eggshells? People seem to be navigating their way through it okay...

Yes. Very much so. And would be regarded by police as such. They would be arrested for suspected sexual assault. Without question.

It was about people, I believe.

It’s all about context. If you have spent a bit of time with them and you feel a connection, asking someone on a date is fine. As long as you accept the answer they give. Not so fine to just ask someone on a date at work that you’ve never spoken to because you find them attractive. Is it...

If some random bloke came up and pinged your girlfriends bra in a pub or on the street, would you think of it as fair game?

More often than not everyone involved gets an outcome that suits them, except the victim.

The vast majority of men know how to pick up on signals and know what it and isn’t acceptable in any given situation. Sure we all misread signals now and again. There are ways to react appropriately when someone lets you know your advances are not welcome. People who exhibit predatory...

True but it’s how the organisation deals with the assaults and abuse that makes the difference. Promoting managers sideways, ignoring complaints, and normalising unwelcome sexual behaviour is wholly avoidable in any organisation.

I agree to a point. Wherever you get groups of young people working together, there’s gonna be a lot of flirting and f***ing. And long may it be so. But it has to be consensual, non coercive, and appropriate. It seems some of the things being claimed have crossed that line.

Then why the daft comment? You can’t have it both ways.

I don’t find it a light subject. Especially as many of the claims are relating to 50 year olds abusing teenagers. We all have our thresholds and I’m afraid the sexual abuse of children crosses mine. Obviously it’s entirely up to you what you find amusing but witty remarks about the sexual...

Oooph. Really? Not a great joke for the BBC of all places.

The need to take a look at the sort of people they award franchises to.
