The Material Girl ended up in a bit of hot water when she -- seemingly accidentally -- exposed a 17-year-old fan's breast during her Rebel Heart Tour in Brisbane, Australia on Thursday.
"She's the kind of girl you just want to slap...on the a**. And pull--" Madge said as she yanked the teen's corset down and flashed her boob. "Oh, sh*t! I'm sorry. Sexual harassment. You can do the same to me."

"Only I get to decide if I’m humiliated or not," the teen told Courier Mail. "Why would people
assume I am humiliated by my own breast, nipple or body? I didn’t realize my boob was such
a big deal -- it was nothing to me."

As for the outrage from people who have suggested Georgiou take legal action against Madonna,
the aspiring model rebuffs, "Seriously, why would I sue Madonna for the best moment of life?"

If there's no "victim", then there was no crime.  In many places outside the US, bare breasts in public is not a big deal.  In fact, street performers in NY have had courts rule they are allowed legally to be topless in public.

If a man had done this?  I'm sure it depends on the man.  A wino on a city bus?  Or a singer on a stage, like Bruno Mars?
The reasonable man adapts himself to the world;
the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself.

It's legal in HI for women to be topless.  Had a group about 14 years ago test it.  1 went to court and won.

But I get what the post is about.  Had that baseball fan female, who ran on the MLB field and grabbed players asses.  If a man were to do that at a volleyball game, he would be a registered sex offender.

My point. There is a double standard because they weaponized it.

Grabbing someone's ass is assault.  Different scenario. 

Pulling down a woman's corset to expose a breast -- not even close.  It's not as if Madonna was fondling the breast or anything like that.

In this case, was the exposure unintentional?  Who knows.  The girl is getting more media exposure (pun intended) than money can buy.  That, and she said it's not a big deal.  Nobody is going to prosecute with a victim who doesn't feel victimized. 

Would the 17 yr old have the same opinion if a guy had done this?  You'd have to ask her.  Apparently, she's not embarrassed about her body, so I think the results would be the same.

Outlier.  Everything Trump does is impeachable and/or illegal.
