Yes things do stick in minds - the first time something happened somewhere quiet, on a number of occasions when the girl took the lead. Do chaps now start accusing girls of leading them astray?
Where is this all going to end, and how many should be judged in the light of the time that they occurred. I just feel that there has to be a line drawn somewhere
It seems that as the years have gone by women have aspired to do the things that men have done through the ages.
Today girls go out and get into drinking competitions....are found in the gutter half senseless through drink and covered in vomit. What a picture that paints. It still doesn't mean that they should be taken advantage of.....does it?
Girls think that this is the way to have fun. In my book it isn't...but then I am not of this era.

I guess that it is most men's fantasy to be groped by some nubile young lady.....after all that would be a preliminary to getting above 'the laughing band'
Some may not be aware what that means, but I think you will know what I am talking about as it would be your era(and mine too).

Back then, I would have found it unacceptable to have any man touch me inappropriately(and I have given you an example of my reaction to such an event). It was no more acceptable then than it is now.....the difference in this situation was that this creep thought he could get away with it because he was a DJ on national TV and radio....he saw himself as being above being reported....that girls would be delighted to have his attention.
He was wrong then and is still wrong now.
