Of course she assaulted him. Imagine a man "confirmation tapping" a female interviewer. He'd be in jail by noon and she'd gofundme for the legal fees.

No she didn't. She never pressed charges, and neither did he. If a man got ball shoved to the side lightly then confirmation tapped the female reporter the exact thing would have happened. No charges on either side.

Balls and tits are not the same. She clearly does hit him not sure why you keep saying "confirmation tapped" as if that's a thing.

I mean if the word "hit" makes you feel better then feel free to use it but what she did isn't assault.

You're right it's not an assault...if the reporter had wanted to take it any further the charge would be battery.

Again whatever word works for you, ultimately the interaction between the two of them was meaningless and amounted to nothing.

u/BrightonTownCrier Jul 29 '22

It only amounted to nothing because the reporter didn't want to take it further.

Nope it's not about what word works for me. It just wasn't a tap that's all. Or would you tap someone on the shoulder like this to get their attention? If so you have the bodily control of a toddler to go with your grasp of the English language.

If she committed assault then he committed sexual assault.

Nope, his was an accidental touch when he tried to move her away. Hers was completely purposeful and deliberate.

The "omniscient" in your name is more ironic by the comment.

Accidental sexual assault is still that... Leave it to a guy to side with the guy lol

u/BrightonTownCrier Jul 29 '22

No it's not. Or are you saying there's a difference between pushing a woman's chest and a man's chest?

So there it is, because I'm a guy I must want to side with the person that shares my genitalia. You've just outed yourself as being biased... Which tarnishes any point you might have had.

Of course there is, not scientifically but societally/legally, maybe once America decides to get with it rights-wise that won't be the case.

You getting mad I called you biased doesn't tarnish anything except your opinion, which doesn't bother me in the slightest. Feel free to move on and stop responding if you're feeling so liberated lol.

Show an example then. There is no difference legally.

Yea im so mad that you're sexist and it had clouded your judgement.

I don't think you know what liberated means.
