men have historically abused the power dynamic, and in my opinion, anyone who treats a woman like property is not far from being rapey. Men can easily rape women so there is an inherrent latent fear for women with men like this, whereas us blokes don't experience such fear, so no I wouldn't think it acceptable for a man to react like that.
It is the difference in the abuse of power, and I totally understand the girl reacting like that.
A man with a woman? No, for fairly obvious reasons as I see it.

In the case of this waitress here, while what the guy did was quite inappropriate, there was clearly no threat of violence to her. The result is that she would have felt slighted, but would have been wrong to expect any more to occur. The venue was not such that he would have been able to do physical harm to her without swift repurcussions.
