  1. Victim of what? Is it "normal"? Maybe not. Does everything have to be "normal" in life? I reckon 99.9% of men wouldn't mind the question at all, many would welcome it, and even if they said no, they'd do it with a polite laugh and look to not upset the woman they were refusing. Consider also that (as many others have commented), even if it's in the workplace and therefore inappropriate, we're talking about a comedian, living mainly on the road, in a nd out of hotels, towns.... when you're touring everywhere is the workplace. If you're working on a show, chances are it's nearly 24/7 as well: in this business people don't work 9 to 5, so there's no clear limit to what the workplace is and when it stops. Is it normal and ok that I have to put up with women flashing their breasts at me permanently, in every single environment, every single day of the year? Answer: yes, it is; I just have to deal with it if I find that part of their anatomy exciting. Do they have to show it? No, they don't. Clothes that don't reveal cleavage exist. Do they ask my consent before shoving it in my face? No. Now, did Louis shove anything in anyone's face? No; he asked, and didn't do it if the reply was no. Were there also rumours around him tht if you refused his advances he would trash your career? No, apparently not. Point: "a woman shouldn't even have to deal with a question like that" : this portrays women as being such weak and feeble individuals that they can't be expected to handle simple questions, yet they are strong and empowered enough to sexualise their own bodies as much as they want, without asking consent from any man........ weird double standards.
