    That wasn’t sexual assault. If you want a lesson to take away for what he actually did wrong here: he attacked the reason for rejection. It’s a natural thing to do. But that’s really the only thing wrong here.

    Going in for a peck is fine. Planting one before they react wouldn’t be. But taking rejection gracefully is nearly impossible. Let’s try to be better.

      That was aggressive and scary to watch. Not sure why you’re downplaying it.

        It was just a dude answering questions he was asked. I don’t want to hang out with the guy.

        I get a little worried about calling something like that “sexual assault”. It plays into the “can’t say anything anymore” crowd’s hands.

          Yeah I agree he came on strong but it seems that’s his vibe in the scene and he was mostly respectful when rejected. i think some people’s biases are showing

          It was just a guy answering questions until he grabbed him and went for a kiss, don’t pretend that didn’t happen.

          If the victim was a woman I think any decent person would see it. Instead since he’s a man, somehow he’s expected not to be intimidated. I absolutely would’ve been

          It was at least sexual harassment.
