University finds prominent astrophysicist Lawrence Krauss grabbed a woman’s breast

An investigation by Arizona State University (ASU) in Tempe concluded this week that high-profile astrophysicist and atheist Lawrence Krauss violated the university’s sexual harassment policy by grabbing a woman’s breast at a conference in Australia in late 2016.

(Krauss is a prominent member of the skeptics movement, which disputes the existence of a god or supernatural powers.)

I don't believe these stories anymore.

I'm a guy and just find it hard to believe that any guy would get a thrill grabbing some random woman's breast at a conference. Outside of certain particular intimate and private situations, normal men don't get a thrill by touching a breast.

I can very well see something happening by accident, a bump or what-have-you, but deliberate? Not likely.

Yep.

Looks like a boob grabber to me.

No upper lip.

Sorry ... I don’t believe in special atheist awards.

The article is light on details, but sounds like he was going for SECOND BASE?

Or so some third party (battle ax) with an ax to grind said?

“We were going down a hallway single file and there was Adam and then me and then Burt was behind me. So we’re all tiptoeing along and Adam’s supposed to say, ‘Shhh!’ and put his hand back to stop us from advancing any further because he hears someone coming. As he put his hand back, it was on my breast, but he thought his hand was on my shoulder, or so he said, and left it there. I’m standing there thinking, ‘Oh, dear, I know where his hand is, but maybe I shouldn’t break up because we could use some of this,’ being the professional that I am. I figured we could cut away and use some of it so I figured I’d better just stay there. Finally the crew started breaking up and they finally said, ‘Cut! Cut! Cut!’ Then somebody said to him, ‘Adam, where was your hand?’ And he said, ‘Uh, on her shoulder?’ I thought either he had no sense of anatomy or that will tell you something about the lingerie in those days. They had such firm bras that he thought it was a shoulder instead of a breast. That take is somewhere because they did keep it, but I don’t know where it is.

“Hey, if you’ve seen one breast......you’re probably gonna see the other one!”

But yeah, save touching & fondling for intimate moments. Touch the woman to make her feel good; let your pleasure derive from hers. That’s normal.

Yeah.....Adam West wouldn’t know the difference between a breast and a shoulder.

“Holy hooters, Batman! You’ve grabbed Batgirl by her bat boob!”

“Boy Wonder, I only did it to fight crime....because it would be a crime to not cop a feel.”

Award-winning SF writer Harlan Ellison adjusted the alignment of fellow SF writer Connie Willis' breast live, in front of a large audience, at WorldCon in 2006.

She laughed it off, and nothing came of it, except for embarrassment.

Is that why women are constantly crying out, "Oh GOD! Oh GOD!" when...

I'm a normal man, and have grown up around normal men all my life. We beg to differ.

It's only our social conditioning that restrains our inner beasts.

Boy that’s one humorless-looking broad. I wouldn’t dare cross here - she’ll report you to HR in a New York second.
