Italian female TV host grabs David Beckham's crotch

Where is the outrage?

Have you heard about this story? It's all over the news. An Italian female (supposedly funny) TV host and reporter thought she's really hilarious. While David Beckham, famous English soccer player, was so kind to grant her an interview, she groped his crotch. Yep, she went with her hand and touched his private parts. Check the photos:


The Italian woman, Elena di Cioccio, said she wanted to check, if he's really as manly as it appears on his advertisments for underwear, like for example this one here [*how many of you girls have saved this pic now?]. Apparently she's infamous for playing all kinds of pranks, but in this case she went too far in my opinion. And I'll tell you why:

1. This is sexual harassment and it doesn't make it less bad, because she's a woman.
2. She disrespected him, his wife and his children.
3. Imagine a male reporter groped Victoria Beckham's crotch:

  • Would the reaction be the same? Would it still be funny?
  • Why is it ok, if women grope or harass men, why is there no outrage?
  • Why is it not funny, if men play such 'pranks' on women?
  • Double standard? On which side are you?
