it was obviously not a "strange man" to her. you can tell they have worked together before. they are on a first name basis. he was kidding around. and kissed her on the side of the head like I would kiss my son before he goes to school.
this is simply a case of an author trying to make a name for himself as a defender of women's rights. and he chose to fight the wrong battle because he was so eager for a battle.
And if your assumptions are not true, she has right to press charges.
It's the risk you take when you do something.
Although femimist have nothing to do with this.
If anything men are the ones that should be pissed.
Were the ones that get fucked by the law.
If a strange man grabbed me and kissed me, I'd probably be bothered by it.
Actually, unless it was someone to whom I was explicitly signaling interest, I'd be like, "WTF"
Switch the people around to a man to a man or a woman to a man, and see if you feel differently about it
This is why the autistic mind is superior on a moral level.
If you change the people around this is so obviously a sexual assault charge.
You have no protection if you touch another person, you can get charged with anything if you initiate contact.
This is why woman get a free ride, they can fuck you over if you touch em, yet they ignore you if you don't.
They wanna put you in that situation it gives them power over you.
