"If I was going to be a hostess at an all male event I would know exactly what that meant. Why are these women so naive? They wouldn't be anywhere near as old as you and possibly from modelling agencies. " They were paid a bare bones £15 an hour at the Dorchester hotel - possibly unaware it was all male. Superficially it was charity fundraising, so some young females would be excused for assuming it was a decent outfit to work at. | |||

"If I was going to be a hostess at an all male event I would know exactly what that meant. Why are these women so naive? " Because a lot of women are naive. If I was offered £15 an hour I wouldn't begin to imagine that being bait for charity donations was included in the job description. If they offered £150 an hour I would wonder what they wanted of me. | |||

"I think the problem seems to be a difference between what the men where expecting and what some of the women where expecting. A women who chooses to work in a strip club knows the deal and also has a fair degree of protection around her... It does appear some of the women did not know the environment they where going into." They were provided by an agency which hires good looking young women out as hostesses. It's been going on for 35 years and many were there several years in a row. Even the under cover reporters knew exactly what to expect, that's why they went! However most of the women were apparently wearing the uniform and pouring drinks... like you would expect, there was a 3 hostess minimum at tables so nobody was alone, and though most won't give interviews due to it being a condition of employment in the agency, those that have, gave a very much tamer version than the newspaper... More 'outrage' for the media world. This time costing charity recipients lots of money.  | |||

"Unfortunately sex sells" It may do but these were innocent women not being employed as sex workers. They were paid little above or around London living wage levels to support incredibly wealthy pigs. These men employ thousands of women between them and it's sickening that their attitude towards women is so abysmal. I wonder if many of them are not fit and proper holders of directorship positions, of enormous responsibility. | |||

Those charities have assessed the loss to them and decided not to be associated with the organisation that arranged the evening. As they say, there is no such thing as bad publicity and so their involvement in all this and making the stand they did can only help their profile and will no doubt endear them to the legions of people who were appalled by the behaviour at the event. As for those claiming the women were being naive, I suppose you also think that women wearing short skirts and high are asking for it when they get r*ped.noyive only men saying they knew what they were in for. What happened at that event was inappropriate and wrong and they were right to expose it. It hung gives those men the right to manhandle women doing their job. The whole evening was archaic. | |||

"It is strange how when newspaper reporters do a shock horror piece on swingers clubs, everyone says exaggeration and lies. But when it's a big business function at the Dorchester then it's all true and terrible behaviour. The actual hostesses are not supposed to give interviews, they all had non disclosure agreements. 2 however have spoken on interview and given a much different perspective than what the under cover reporter claims. Last year it wouldn't have made a story in the daily mail, this year it's discussed in parliament. " You know it was filmed, right? And the swinging stories are refuted on here because a lot of us go to them and have knowledge of them. Wether or not it happened as they said it did this thread alone is enough to show that mindset of some men is appalling. | |||

And I have known many occasions where I personally, or through trusted sources have evidence that reporters exaggerate to get published. I don't like the sort of event this was, but have been to some, they are usually considerably more tame than 'girls nights out' The faux outrage going on is the problem, next January 150 women in the entertainment industry won't have a nights work, charities will go without donations, and what's worse is I have been on the motorway listening to the shock horror story on the radio all day. | |||

As for the ladies being naive? Yes I think many of them probably were. Lets not forget that many of them are pretty young. University students in their late teens and early 20's trying to support themselves while studying. Don't blame the girls, they are victims of rich and powerful men who think they can do anything. Many people on fab have children of a similar age. How would you feel if it was your daughter? | |||

Also the non disclosure agreements were between them and the agency that employs them as hostesses, rather than specific to this event. Being brutally honest, yes money would cause some of them to 'perform' for bigger tips. As for the what if it was your kids comment. My son flipped burgers and did lots of hours bar work at Uni. Got minimum wage if he was lucky. My daughter used her cleavage to sell shots at a night club again for minimum wage but the tips she got meant she only needed to work 1 night a week.

Stop dolly day dreaming. Sex does sell and if these “gentlemen” wanted to buy in ladies for this kind of activity, they should have paid the proper rate with consenting women. | |||

"So if groping a woman without her permission is sexual assault and it’s on film are these men going to be prosecuted? Note some of the influential ones left immediately they saw it, probably because they knew it was wrong and did not want to vindicated. " What do you mean, 'if'? Prosecutions will depend on if any women report matters to the police. And if some people, left good for them? Not sure what that has to do with anything. Other than maybe if they are so influential they could have tried to calm things down. | |||

" To me dressing the hostesses like that in a men only event, was asking for trouble. As we all know from some posts on here, men can think they are entitled to do what they like. I guess that the men invited had a bit of spare cash, so that can lead to an air of they can get away with what they want. Not that I am condoning what happened at all, am I all for admiring a woman in nice clothes but there are lines that should not be crossed. | |||

On tv yesterday a woman reporter supposedly had a copy of the letter/ invitation to the event and she read out a section that reminded the men not to touch or grope the women. (I can't remember the exact words used.) | |||

I don't know if they agreed to groping though The strange thing about the contract, if what has been reported is true, is that while I can understand the ‘wear a black dress’ bit as a “dress code” for a formal event, surely alarm bells would start ringing when told to wear “matching underwear” .. how the hell should that even matter unless anyone was going to see it! All very odd! The company that hired the hostesses can’t plead ignorance in this! I think it's a shame that people think that requesting a woman wears a certain type of clothing implies that strange men touching her body is a natural result. " How did you conclude that from what I said? I was merely stating that it seemed an odd request from the company who supplied the hostesses. Maybe THEY (the company) knew what might result (I don’t know, I’m speculating!) but I was in no way condoning or accepting the behaviour! | |||

"So do we think that all male (or all female) events are generally a bad idea? No, there are bad people everywhere. Take note most men are not groppers and vice versa Of course...but is bad behaviour more likely to occur at a single sex event?" 100% Look at hen dos and stag dos.. a men only event is bit like a stag do with cheerleads provided for them. But I’ll mention this for those who like to get the wrong end of stick that they weren’t there to be groped.. But to be like models, find rich boyfriends, husbands, sugar daddies etc.. and most were there to make a living. | |||

" I know, I was agreeing with you that if the agency (or indeed anyone) thought that asking them to wear matching underwear implied anything other than a strict dress code its a shame. However in day to day life women are frequently told "what did you expect if you go out dressed like that". | |||

"I can sum it up in one sentence.. here we go Why did Melania go to Trump’s party? She didn’t go to get gropped. See what I did here "There’s definitely some young ladies (and guys, for that matter!) drawn to power and wealth and on the lookout to exploit such occasions to find sugar daddies etc. Anyone denying that surely had their heads in the sand. But the issue here is around consent isn’t it? Is it right to assume that the hostesses were ‘game’ to be touched etc? Obviously not being there I don’t know if non-consensual groping occurred or not, but the implication is that it did. | |||

Still groping and this behaviour was going on at these parties.. which was wrong but no body said anything. It also goes on at clubs.. but FT didn’t go to The Box in soho
Sales must be really low this quarter | |||

On tv yesterday a woman reporter supposedly had a copy of the letter/ invitation to the event and she read out a section that reminded the men not to touch or grope the women. (I can't remember the exact words used.) "It is a bit shit that they have to be reminded | |||

"That event has been going for years. You can rest assured everyone going knew exactly what happens as I'm sure the same has happened in the past. That's why the press set up the sting operation to catch them out. Regardless of that any unwarranted behaviour towards any individual does deserve to be investigated. One of the big losers are the charities that have lost millions of pounds. I read some are being pressurised to give the money back. " This is what I agree with. Charities have lost millions. The organisers of the events and all involved must have known what was going on. This needs to be looked into with full investivation and prevented from happening again. Individuals who were complicit in this need to be stopped. | |||
