Sorry about the link, but I have a new computer, and I can't figure out why my attempts to embed a video are not working. Anyway, this video seems appropriate for the thread...Man Gropes Reporter Instantly Regrets It. Seriously guys, keep your hands to yourself!

Forcible touching? How vague can you get? That's like when some stranger kindly grabbed me to keep me from falling.
Slapping a stranger on the ass without permission is NOT a very minor thing. At least trump consented to Stormy's spank.

It is a minor thing, the man need to be reprimanded by the woman or management, not charged with a crime, sheesh, let's grow up. We're tuning into a creepy police state and women are so fragile they can't handle the smallest issues. Men are not far behind, they want to call police if some guy gets in their face instead of being a man and handling it.

Is it OK for women to grope men without their consent?

Considering telling men no for the last hundred years hasn't worked to keep it from happening, this is the only logical step for men to learn to keep their hands to their self.

No, not at all, and my comment was not meant to imply as much, so let me be clear for those of you who did not learn this in kindergarten...

PEOPLE, KEEP YOUR HANDS TO YOURSELF!

If that waitress repeatedly expressed "no" (body language can be tricky with that), then I agree it is assault.

Clarallel, does bring upt a relevant point of defining "forcible touching". A partial problem is that a law might define a specific offense as happening under specific circumstances. Going with Clarell's example, a random stranger grabbing Clarallel from behind to prevent Clarallel from falling would be "assault" or "unwanted touching". Just as a law can be too vague to define what circumstances constitute when an offense happens, it could also be too specific. Finding a middle ground is difficult.

That's the problem when laws apply to intentions rather than specific acts.

Just checking.

There are a lot of double standards with regards to sexual harassment/domestic violence against men by women, especially with regards to media coverage.
