Ms Barraclough says that Madonna will have no more sympathy from her

Even though Madonna is on stage, rules of decency apply to all people

She says that there is a ridiculous double standard for men and women

Ms Barraclough argues that if this were a male, there would be outrage

When Madonna sensationally pulled down a 17-year-old fan, Josephine Georgious', top onstage, exposing her breast in front of thousands of people, it immediately made headlines.

But Corrine Barraclough argues that there wasn't enough outrage over the singer's bizarre antics.

Anyone aggrieved by Madonna showing up hours late to her concerts this week must be wide-eyed and shivering silently in shock today.

Necking shots, swigging from a hip flask and acting erratically on stage is controversial and questionable enough.

But yanking a young girl's top down on stage, exposing her breast? Madonna, what the hell are you playing at?

Too controversial: Writer Corrine Barraclough argues that Madonna's behaviour on tour in Brisbane is totally unacceptable

Identified girl: Since Madonna pulled down her top in Brisbane, the 17-year-old girl has been identified as Josephine Georgious

Unbalanced act: She says that: 'Necking shots, swigging from a hipflask and acting erratically on stage is controversial and questionable enough', but this is too far

If this was a male performer, there would be absolute outrage by now.

If Robin Thicke blurred the lines to this appalling, shameful extent for instance, there would be calls for his head, demands he pay a large fine and requests for him to leave the country, shamed forever.

Being invited up on stage by a performer is supposed to go down as a memorable experience for all the right reasons.

Crazy behaviour: This follows the instance where Madonna yanked down a female fan's top on stage - behaviour which, Ms Barraclough says: 'If this was a male performer, there would be absolute outrage'

Not how it should be: She says that being invited up on stage is supposed to be a 'memorable experience' for a fan

Unusual action: According to Ms Barraclough, even Robin Thicke hasn't gone this far on stage

You don’t see Enrique Iglesias yanking tops down as he holds a fan mesmerised, staring into their eyes singing, ‘Let me be your hero…’

Perhaps we would have been amused if Madonna had stopped herself after saying: 'She’s the kind of girl that you just want to slap on the a**.' But she didn’t stop there.

When the deed was done and the poor girl’s flesh exposed to the world, caught on camera and uploaded to social media for the entire population of the globe to see, Madonna exclaimed:

“Oh sh*t. Oh sorry, sexual harassment.” Yes, that’s correct, that’s exactly what this is.

Madonna's words: Madonna's sentiments after the deed did not help proceedings - the pop star exclaimed: 'Oh sh*t. Oh sorry, sexual harassment'

Finished and done: But the damage was done when 'the poor girl’s flesh [was] exposed to the world, caught on camera and uploaded to social media for the entire population of the globe to see'

If we were all so affronted by Chris Gayle’s flirty chat up line, how would we have reacted if he had exposed a part of a woman’s body? Then, rightly, we could have called for his head on a platter.

And in what world is it excusable just because you’re on stage? Exposing a private part of someone’s body without their consent, no matter where you are or what sex you are, is entirely unjustifiable.

Shoe on the other foot: According to Ms Barraclough, if Chris Gayle had have behaved this way, 'we could have called for his head on a platter'

If we, as women, want to be treated as equals, we have to stop with these double standards

It wholly crosses the line of acceptability and just because you’re a woman doesn’t make this okay. If we, as women, want to be treated as equals, we have to stop with these double standards.

Rules of decency apply to all people. There were cries at the time of the Gayle fiasco that no one should have to put up with that kind of behaviour in their workplace.

If that is so, the stage is Madonna’s workplace and while we can write off her tardiness and drinking we cannot - and should not - laugh off her breaking the law.

Entirely unjustifiable: Instead, Ms Barraclough says this act was entirely unjustifiable, and 'crosses the line of acceptability'

It’s a relief to see the 17-year-old smiling in interviews saying, “I can’t believe all the fuss about my boob”.

But should really let this go? She’s a carefree 17-year-old; we are not all 17 or carefree.

We have a responsibility as a society to question and to ask ourselves, is this really ok? The truth is, we should all be complaining.

Lack of complaint: While Queensland Police have told Daily Mail Australia that no complaint has been lodged, Australian law deems it a crime to touch someone indecently without their consent

Disgraceful and shameless: Ms Barraclough says this was 'disgraceful behaviour from a 57-year-old woman who is almost fifty years beyond knowing better'

This is disgraceful behaviour from a 57-year-old woman who is almost fifty years beyond knowing better

This is disgraceful behaviour from a 57-year-old woman who is almost fifty years beyond knowing better.

I felt sorry for Madonna when she broke down on stage and cried tears for her estranged son Rocco, showing images of him on a giant projector.

I felt sorry for her when it was reported that she’d told friends she has lost the custody battle.

She’ll have no more sympathy from me.

Anyone else intending to go to her show might like to turn up three hours late - and wear an extra pair of underwear. Or if I was you, I’d save yourself the bother, get a refund and stay home.

No more sympathy: Corrine Barraclough says she will no longer feel sorry for Madonna, after she broke down on stage
