Well, I took "dirty" to have more aesthetic than ethical connotations, so I may have misunderstood your drift. The other thing is that when you said an audience used to environments where sexual harassment brings about official reprimands and stints in compulsory re-education classes --I think that it was more a case of one insult too many--it was the final straw for women (and men) who had been tolerating stuff like that all their lives, not the astonished horror of people who'd never seen or experienced anything like it (because really, who hasn't?)
But I was not there and got all my outrage second-hand from the internets, so I shouldn't argue the point too hard. Thanks for responding.
