Actually, the same is expected of Johnny's as well, though I'm sure most of them have hidden girlfriends on the side. (Just like the HP girls have hidden relationships as well) The Sawajiri thing maybe would not be taken
as badly if it were a guy saying it, but it still would be considered incredibly rude and I doubt the guy would get off scot free. Bad public social behavior from either gender isn't taken too lightly.
