Did Tweeden empower future sexual misconduct?

I watched some of her USO videos where she's grabbing mens butts & wrapping her legs in a sexual manner around them. What message was she sending to the men in the audience, some of whom are teenagers? That groping others is OK? That "hey boys it's all
just good fun"? I wonder how many of those guys had those cultural stereotypes of women reinforced and possibly acted on them. It's a complicated world.

At 5:50 into this video she rubs her butt on the singer, he gropes her butt, she laughs and gropes him back. Mixed messages to the young men in the audience for sure.

Of course it won't be.

And to all on DU who have defended this women who has cheapened actual sexual harassment, can you now see her for who she is? A PARTISAN STOOGE!

Looks like he is walking, unsuspecting. She is about to grab his butt. In another photo she is all over him like in a kiss.

Women serve in the military and go to USO shows.

These USO shows are a bit edgy - she didn't empower anything.
