1) Sexual harassment occurs everywhere -- it's in schools, government offices, private corporations, streets.
Why would sexual harassment in the locker room be any different then? Why can't it be treated as it is? Why are some quarters dismissing / minimizing it as normal simply because it happened in a male locker room, is it because it happened in a male turf?
2) If someone was offended, there has clearly been a boundary violated.
But just because someone wasn't offended doesn't necessarily mean a violation did not occur,
(e.g. See Lia Cruz's account of a hand grabbing her butt cheek while she was doing her job as a sports reporter inside a men's locker room )
it just might mean:
a) one is used to it that it's almost an unspoken, tried & tested mathematical equation (man in locker room + woman doing her job = liberty to butt-cheek-grab booyah)
b) expects it (thanks to cultural, societal conditioning a-la Pavlov's dogs)
c) learned helplessness has become the norm
3) Why is James Younghusband harping about people bringing "football down?" Sexual harassment has nothing to do with football.
4) Did it help that we all noticed this news (and judged the complainant less) because we were all informed
that the alleged victim is "FVR's daughter" and not `some' "Glamour Model?"
5) Did it help that we all paid attention to her because she has a father that was a former president? Was her identity as a female former Philippine Olympic Committee president not ("hot") or attention-grabbing enough for the news headline and/ or our attention?
6) See how the alleged perpetrator of the harassment mentioned purportedly something about a specific detail "maybe a B-cup" but now vaguely describes the incident a mere "misunderstanding" - and yes he is heartbroken too about being misunderstood NOT because someone found his statement offensive.
Fortunately, he has apologized for it to the public - with the faint hope that the PERSON who was personally offended by the "misunderstanding" will read, overhear his abstract apology and find it in her heart to accept his humble sorry - despite it being directed TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN.
Yes ladies and gentlemen, his apology is so inSINCERE it hurts.
And I quote: `"To all those who I inadvertently hurt or insulted due to a comment directed to a teammate, please accept my humble apology,” Moy said in a report by The Philippine Star.'
