Maybe it wasn't worded the way I would have liked but I'm commenting that on a whole - 90% of guys would laugh at this and would tease this guy about what happened to him. I don't make the rules - I'm just commenting on how I think most people react to this story. There's the PC answer and there's the one people have over beers with their mates when they aren't being judged.

Is it different based on gender? By law - yes. By society - I don't think we're there yet.
