Girls do this kind of shit all the time, but never get called out for it.

Some women want such a double standard. No man should ever touch you. [/quote]

Really? where do girls do this all the time. I teach in a middle school. Gave for over a dozen years. Taught specials courses in summer camps for twenty years. I've never seen a girl grab a boy and French kiss him against his will. [/quote]

My DH had the most popular girl in school show him her boobies on a dare from her classmates after school when they were 13.

I guess by today's standards she's a sexual offender too.[/quote]

Note the difference between Person A, who showed Person A's own breasts, and Person B, who grabbed Person C and stuck Person B's tongue in Person's C's mouth. The first is not assault. The second is.[/quote]

Actually, under the law, assault is making a threat.  Battery is the actual touching.  That's why we say assault and battery.

And under the law, we require a criminal "mens rea" or criminal mindset to convict of a criminal offense.  I don't believe a 13 year old boy acting on a dare (a dare which could very well have come from a girl) has a criminal mens rea of assault.  I think he is impulsive and immature and needs to apologize and understand he clearly crossed the line.  And I also don't think the girl needs to testify in court.  Bad plan.[/quote]
