Ethics is too complicated of a topic for some people in here, it seems. You don't need to be a psychopath to be wrong about this stuff, but being wrong about it is nothing to be proud of anyway.

It was not a kiss, it was sexual assault

So... it wasn't a kiss?

"It's not a punch. It's physical assault."

Lol. The mental gymnastics ya'll pull.

I'm confused. Are you saying that punching someone isn't physical assault?

Saying a punch "isn't a punch" is wrong.

Just like saying a kiss "isn't a kiss" is wrong.

So… it wasn’t a kiss?

This should have made my point clear.

But it wasn't a kiss, it was assault because she did not consent.
A more accurate comparison would be if I punched someone in the street and claimed I was just sparring with them. It wasn't a sparring, it was assault.

You don't have to consent to kiss to be kissed, lol.

No, that's a willfully-inaccurate comparison. Why are you changing the word punch to spar? Lol.

You don't have to be sparring to punch someone just like you don't need consent to kiss someone. An unconsensual kiss is sexual assault, but it's still a kiss. In court, you're not going to be saying "he sexually assaulted her" and then leave it at that. How did he sexually assault her? Oh yeah, he kissed her lol.

Funny watching you people try to distort the meaning of language to fit your agenda. All it does is make you look desperate, though.

Anyone can claim anything offends them.

Does he just not say anything, or are you specifically referring to saying things you don't like?

It's pretty widely accepted by most that unwanted sexual advances, such as a non-consentual kiss, are intolerable. It's not about what anyone here "likes".
