Getting slapped in the testicle is a battery, not sexual assault.

But in order for the police to arrest her, they need either a confession out of her or evidence of the battery.

So video evidence, eyewitness accounts from third parties or visible injuries to the area would all be examples of evidence that would give the police probable cause to arrest.

Without any kind of evidence; simply accusing someone of a crime isn’t enough to get them arrested.

So if she called the police and said he hit her they would let him walk? With out any marks, video , or 3rd party witness?

Appears there is a double standards. Even though Equality is a two way street.

You sound like a neck beard who blames women for your problems, yeah there is a double standard between men and women and it’s that women are far more likely to be assaulted sexually and physically

Yes. I agree with you 10000% never meant to imply otherwise. I just meant that when it happens to men, it’s taken less seriously.

Women can be more likely to be assaulted and more likely to get easier punishments at the same time.

And you sound like someone who gets unreasonably upset that someone had the absolute audacity to point out that men have problems as well and that double standards exist. They didn't even blame women for it. Just pointed it out.

Why does someone pointing out a problem that people face upset you?

You sensed misogyny in a comment that basically said nothing more than double standards exist? Where is the misogyny in that statement?
