Amid the sexual harassment claims that have shaken the entertainment industry to its core, former INX guitarist Kirk Pengilly says he prefers the old days when slapping a woman on "the bum" was seen as a compliment.
Pengilly, attending a Movember charity event in Melbourne on Thursday, said men were starting to feel that they couldn't even compliment a woman as it could be viewed as sexual harassment.
"I really loved the 60s and 70s when life was so simple and you could slap a woman on the butt," Pengilly told AAP.
The 59-year-old, who is married to surfing legend Layne Beachley, clearly does not buy into the view that such behaviour is sexist and objectifies women.
