You going to sit there and tell me that a woman - in a crowded room in front of everyone there - would seriously feel threatened by a COMEDIAN saying he's going to "kick her in the ribs" if she objects? That she would seriously think the audience would ALLOW that to happen?
One PEEP in objection and she would have been off the stage. Hell, she could have even just started crying and they'd pulled her off the stage. But she didn't.
I was pulled on stage in Vegas last Fall when I was out there. I really did NOT want to go up there, but I CHOSE to go along with it. I performed on stage with the headliner the entire show. At any point I could have walked off the stage. At any point. While I may have felt pressure to perform while up there, it was a completely conscious and deliberate CHOICE to remain up there and do the show. If he had touched me in any manner that I felt inappropriate, the show would have taken a completely different turn. |
You're not exactly a meek person--and even you admit to feeling "pressure to perform" in your situation. Can you imagine that
she may have been a very meek person? ...and been overwhelmed by the situation? The writer of the article says, "As James Williams, writing on the NOTBBC forum after the gig, put it,
"Honestly, you couldn't have found a nervier or more passive girl if you'd scoured all of London." Like you, I probably would have kicked the jerk in the balls in front of God and everyone, but we're not exactly "passive" personalities, are we?
