Where to start with this one, well let's start at home.

My 8yr old Daughter studies Karate, firstly because she loves it... It's a good healthy sport... It is a sport which teaches Discipline and Respect...

As any Karateka will tell you "Karate Begins and Ends with Courtesy...

But I'm not gonna lie, as a former student myself it gives me comfort that my little girl knows how to throw a proper punch! (believe me she knows, as she often demonstrates on her poor old Dad)...

I always thought it would be so that she could "swiftly teach respect" to any boys with "ideas" as she entered her teenage years...

But I'll be teaching her to watch out for this kind of creepy behaviour too...

When this kind of "Harmless Handsy-ness" is brushed off by out of touch men as "a bit of harmless fun" it's bad enough...

But when a woman, yes you @IsabelOakeshott, makes excuses for it apparently being perpetrated on herself, she does women everywhere a disservice.

I'll be encouraging my Daughter to stick in with her Karate Lessons...

I'll be teaching her to not to take this from ANYONE...

I'll be teaching her to dish out a swift and merciless "respect lesson" to anyone who crosses the line!

You've been warned Stanley!
