You must remember this...A kiss is but a kiss, a sigh is but a sigh...
Actually, when a woman says NO, what she really means is: NOT WITH YOU...
She DID struggle...what are you, delusional? She should have slapped him? Maybe you do not consider an unwanted sexual advance as assualt but pretty much everyone else does. Thank God you are not a cop or a judge.
Perfect! :-)
What did he eat?
Pumpkin pie?
I must have missed the harvest moon somehow.
He must have mistaken her for a goat.
LOL!
There you go again, applying Christian sensibilities to Muslim thought...
Yeah, my bad. . .
Permission granted. You may start with my first ex-wife who goes by the name of Helen Thomas, now ;-)
The guy was talking to a chick he probably thought much older, maybe she's coming a bit amorous. He's overcome with infatuation, decides to show he likes her, grabs her by the shoulders and gives her a kiss. She shrugs her shoulders, "struggling" away from him, and breaks the kiss, and runs away due to the unfounded terror people like you inspire in her. He sees her go - watching probably in disappointment - doesn't bother giving chase - probably wondering what happened. He could catch her if he wanted to - he could have kept her in his arms if he liked - but he lets her go longing that things might have turned out differently. The stuff of the Romance Novels women spend billions of dollars on every year.
Sexual assault?
garbage.
Hope that her family does not feel a need to stone or kill her over loss of "honor"
Oh, so now in your view he is just a hopeless romantic? When you are having a casual conversation with a woman how many times do you decide to just grab them and kiss them? In his own country and culture do they do that to women on the street? I doubt it. I have to wonder what planet you are from.
you're right: I am from Mars - I am proud of being from Mars.
You have a major problem.
Please describe for me something in this story that is not consistent with what I wrote. You must be a flake - probably ... on second thought, I won't describe physical characteristics...
In any case, this does sound like a story of a romantic encounter, not a "sexual assault". Age inappropriate - absolutely yes (though the sailor may not have realized her age). Indiscrete on the part of the sailor - agreed. Foolish - yes.
Sexual assault ---- NO NO NO NO NO.
"You have a major problem."
I have a major problem? I am not the one who thinks that grabbing and kissing strangers on the street is A-OKAY and thinks it is merely the expression of a romantic nature.
"Sexual assault ---- NO NO NO NO NO."
Sexual assault ---- YES YES YES YES YES.
Yes - You have a major problem.
I notice that you haven't responded to my earlier posts and instead decide to hurl insults that you seem to think earn you brownie points. They don't work here. The described incident is not sexual assault, no matter how "inappropriate" it might have been.
You may have some reason for your hypersensitivity on this subject. If so, I'm sorry about that. Your experience doesn't bear on whether this incident is "criminal" activity, though.
Of course I responded......apparently just not to your liking. Rather thin skinned if you consider me as having been "hurling insults". And i am certainly not in need of brownie points from you or anyone else. Try this on for size.....I will believe the VICTIM looooooong before I will buy your theory. Consider that insulting as well? Good
The morals if Islam.
