Most of us as men (not that I'm saying everyone here is male), have no idea how it would feel to be on the recieving end of the kind of shite it seems Gray et al would regularly dish out.
I had it at work a while ago, in a previous job. It's not so much upsetting; it's just corny, tired, repetitive, and a bit creepy when you've constantly got crappy inuendo directed at you by a couple of middle aged, beer-bellied, over-the-hill, old enough to be your mate's dad, blokes, who think being crude to a 21 year old girl (as I was then) a) makes them feel young b)makes them feel attractive, and c) makes them look good in front of their mates.
And for some reason, it always was the middle aged ones - the young ones used to really back me up. Must be a generation or mid life crisis thing.
You get the impression that part of the reason this ended up going public was because nothing was being done about Gray and Key's behaviour. I very much doubt Charlotte Jackson didn't complain about what Gray said. You can tell from the way they react it wasn't the first time and they thought they could get away with whatever they wanted.
