[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, all human interactions can lead to misunderstanding. We don't therefore ban human interactions. Nor do we require signed contracts before human interactions. Somehow everybody is able to figure this out countless times every single day -- except when it comes to sexual human interactions, at which point it apparently all becomes so complicated and nebulous that all of these poor pitiful well-meaning people are just completely at sea. I wonder why.

Also, grabbing somebody's arm actually is assault. So is hugging somebody who does not want to be hugged. Is it prosecutable assault, if so, should prosecutors prosecute it? Well, there are bigger fish to fry. Nonetheless, they are both assault. Don't do those things.[/quote]

You just showed how ridiculous you are. [b]Grabbing a persons arm and hugging someone depended on context[/b] and is not assault. In that case I am sure  you have committed assault before. Exactly , there are bigger fish to fry. True incidents of rape, not these trumped up charges that everything is assault. [/quote]

Yes, exactly. It does depend on context. Here is a guide:

Not assault: grabbing somebody's arm who consents to it; hugging somebody who consents to it.
Assault: grabbing somebody's arm who doesn't consent to it; hugging somebody doesn't consent to it.

I am pretty sure that you also agree that grabbing somebody's arm and/or hugging somebody can be assault. Or when some random person on the street grabs your arm/hugs you, do you think to yourself, "Well, I didn't tell them not to do that, so they couldn't have known I didn't want them to grab my arm/hug me."?[/quote]

Good grief.  Do you analyze each and every encounter in your daily life?  Do you obtain consent first before attempting to grab someone's arm to say hello or to give them a hug?  "Hello, Larla.  Would you give me your consent to grab your arm?  I have something important to tell you!"  or "Greetings, Zelda.  I would very much like to hug you as it's been awhile since we've seen one another.  May I have your consent?"

How exhausting.[/quote]
