When has a female trousered knee become a sex object?

I don't suppose a sexual thought went through this chaps head, show business people are very touchy feely 'lovey-dovey' people anyway.

He was tactile with Emma Thomson, they have just finished shooting a movie together and are promoting it. Their relationship is probably at a completely level.

I started watching it but it was too painful. He was either half cut or he's completely crap at interviews!

Well after all the criticism Clare Foy has sprung to his defence and says 'no offence was taken !

[Togo]

Still no reply I note, to my 18.11 query. Repeat "what was that about"? Or were you over primed to react? Haha so obvious.

[-Talbot-]

He appears to be as crap in interviews as he is at being a comedian.

I'm not surprised.

Thank you - so my next question to you is, “seeing as your wife would have ‘decked him’, would you agree that a man touching a woman twice when she obviously doesn’t want the attention actually is a big deal?”

I find it odd that some don’t.

First post.

I suppose the answer is whether he would have done the same to a man sitting next to him.





There you go 1:25 on...

[Chinajan]

Men! Don't do anything to a woman that you wouldn't like a man to do to you.

[-Talbot-]

@ 2:23 he is giving Dustin's knee a right old fondle.

[pixie374]

Ah... Although he didn't get his hand removed and then put it back anyway. In fact, he took his hand off as soon as Dustin leant towards him. As I said, there wasn't particularly anything wrong until she tried to stop him and he ignored her.

[Togo]

sp get this. It is not my responsibility to be her "keeper". That said it follows that I am not the self appointed "keeper" of every other would be "victim". Get over yourself, and take the other snowflake Me Me Me, Only Me, swooners with you. It's all straight out of Miniluv.

Thank you for your response.

I am not suggesting that you should be your wife’s keeper, just that if a man touches a woman, has his hand brushed away and then puts his hand on her again, he’s being boorish and ungentlenanly.

By the way, when you write things like this:

//Get over yourself, and take the other snowflake Me Me Me, Only Me, swooners with you//

some people might get the impression that you’re an idiot who cannot argue his point without slinging out insults like someone who is educationally subnormal.

[sp1814]

Sorry - that should be:

some people might mistakenly get the impression...etc

[Togo]

//if a man touches a woman, has his hand brushed away and then puts his hand on her again, he’s being boorish and ungentlenanly. //sic.

No say? Here was I thinking they were dangerous sex predators or deviants.

//some people might get the impression that you’re an idiot who cannot argue his point without slinging out insults like someone who is educationally subnormal.//

Ahh but "some" may not. I may even have an opinion of my own. :))

[Maydup]

Watching him with Dustin Hoffman was about as uncomfortable as watching the previous footage. Look at Dustin's body language in reaction. This idiot obviously does this awful knee touching all the time and needs to stop! Hideous regardless of shape of trouser!

[Zacs-Master]

Trying to justify Sandlers actions exemplifies the mysogenistic attitudes of both the film industry and some anachronistic views of our deluded older generation. The world will be a better place for the expulsion of such bigoted attitudes.

[-Talbot-]

Wow, Zacs ...

AB has gone mad.

That isn't what happened though is it.

[Zacs-Master]

Watch the video Talbot.

[andres]

Well if Clare Foy is not offended I can't see the point of carrying on with this thread.

[-Talbot-]

I've watched it several times and Sandler moves his own hand, he then sees Foy move her hands and then she moves her hands and taps his hand which is on his knee.
He hasn't read this as 'keep your paws to yourself' and puts his hand back on her knee.
