    Have you told your stepdaughters you'd date them if you were younger? Did you tell them how nice their figures are?

    No, and I don't live in the Czech Republic, either.

    You accepted it enough to support someone for many years that checked out his own daughter.

    Do you also call it "culture" in America for men to grab women by their privates whenever they feel like it?

    Apparently that wasn't a dealbreaker for ya.

    I'm saying who knows what's appropriate in another country. Meanwhile, we have plenty of changing dynamics in our own.

    I'm talking about our country. You felt grabbing women by their privates whenever you felt like it was appropriate for our country enough you voted for someone that openly said so.

    The World No. 194 was seen on the live TV broadcast on Amazon Prime shaking hands with her opponent and chair umpire before walking over to a man who has been identified as her father before embracing him as they celebrated a special moment together.

    She was then seen walking over and hugging another man who also gave her a pat on the backside.

    Bejlek's father and coach both appeared to make contact with her backside during the hug.

    However, Bejlek walked away from the exchange smiling and waving towards other fans, indicating she herself was perfectly fine with the interaction.

    Video of the celebration has since gone viral with one video on Twitter being watched more than 130,000 times.

    The divisive celebrations have made headlines around the world.

    Sportskeeda reports fans on Twitter have labelled the video in their view as seeming "inappropriate" and "creepy".

    Replies to threads on social media have been quick to point out, however, that the incident may only seem strange when viewed from a Western perspective where contact with a woman's backside is perceived as a sexual act.

    "It is pretty common in Czechia. Not something I would do, but many men just don't think about it in a sexual way. Google our easter traditions, you might be shocked," one user said in response to the footage.

    “It is pretty common in Czechia,” another person tweeted, per Daily Mail. “Not something I would do, but many men just don’t think about it in a sexual way. Google our Easter traditions, you might be shocked.”

    Another added that the embrace is “perfectly normal in some cultures and households. One sees what they want to see.”

    Tell that to your stepdaughters the next time you see them.

    ABM touches their butt.

    Stepdaughter: WTF are you doing?

    ABM: What do you mean?!? This is normal in the Czech Republic!

    First part of the video: "eh that's not so bad... it's mostly just the small of her back...."

    Hand slides down: "oh...."

    I don’t know…. She didn’t seem to mind. I’m guessing it’s accepted in her culture.

    Clearly we are just one of many cultures. What i find more outrageous is the insistence of some that we should shove our morals down the throat of the rest of the world and ridicule any and all who happen to think or feel differently.

    “I am telling you that you sexually patted a teens butt!”

    “No its a act of celebration in some cultures”

    “No, you are a sexual predator”

    Sportsmanshipphobia anyone?

    That's about it in a nutshell. Oh, the rage in here when I dared to trot out "When in Rome."

    I wouldn't be ok with a male coach slapping a female player on the ass.
