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.

Yeah, first you have to submit a peer-reviewed application form, requesting for permission to ask for consent, then you have to video your demand and send it to the person, wait for a minimum two week legal delay of retraction before eventually, after having received written acceptation of the possibility of hearing your request, with witnesses present, prostrating yourself on the floor (so as not to potentially intimidate the person), saying fifteen "I am not worthys", proffering a whip to the "victim" in case she chooses to flagellate you instead of consenting.
If, of course, you've still got a hardon after all that, you really do have some merit and there's a 0.15% chance she might think about it.

Maybe his wife refused therapy? Maybe she wanted nothing to do with him and that's why he was letting out his frustration in other ways? Why always consider women as the victims? I don't want women dressing sexily in the workplace... but they do (by sexily I mean revealing clothes that put value on parts of the body, such as plunging necklines showing lots of cleavage, skirts slit high on the side etc, which are nothing to do with comfort and all about valorising). I just have to put up with it. I consider it inappropriate and morally and ethically wrong... but it's generalised in society, so I just deal with it. Did he have a reputation for screwing up their careers if they refused him? No. He just walked away...end of story. What women are so pathetically weak minded that they can't handle a question?
Ask any man the same thing, and 99.9% would be fine with the question, 80% fine with you actually doing it! So, how comes men can deal with it and not women?
It's actually expected of women to be exhibitionists.A cultural thing, I think, for which women are just as responsible as men, if not more so.
