I don't care if you're gay—get your hands off my breasts!


So apparently, being gay now gives a man license to grope, expose, or otherwise humiliate women. Isaac Mizrahi, the designer who now works for target, did just that at the Golden Globes; on assignment to commentate on the awards show for E!, Mizrahi pulled down Teri Hatcher's dress to look for a speech hidden in her bodice, asked Natalie Portman about condoms, asked Eva Longoria about her pubic hair, and squeezed Scarlett Johansson's breasts. The E! Network and Mizrahi excuse his behavior because he is homosexual. (For a more complete report, go to the CNN story).
Am I the only person who sees a problem with this?! Women have been fighting for years to be taken seriously, to be treated with respect. Gay men claim that they want the same type of respect, so why don't they start by giving it? Not sleeping with women does not give Isaac Mizrahi the right to demean women, even women wearing next to nothing at a banal Hollywood event.
