Have you ever read anything about the male gaze, Girlysports? Women's bodies are not on display for the purpose of men to gawk and ogle. There is not an implied right for men to "Gawk" at women's bodies.

Anyways I do agree that a power imbalance makes things much worse. But in a restaurant situation there still is a power imbalance. The "talent" is working for tips and put up with a LOT of lewd and crude comments, and I'm sure the occasional grab and grope, to earn their tips and keep customers happy. It's demoralizing. And harassment.
