The Intersection Of Hugging And Consent

The young girls in all the videos are clearly uncomfortable and want nothing to do with Uncle Joe and his “hugs.”

“THAT is relevant and not crap. Unless you want to say that we are not supposed to hug anyone, EVER.”

This will be my final word on the subject as I find it difficult to discuss discerningly with a person who twist’s my meaning into hyperbole (ie, “Unless you want to say that we are not supposed to hug anyone, EVER.”). Since I never said or even implied anything close to that)

Even if totally innocuous (which I am not conceding), behaving in such a way as Biden repeatedly does with strangers, small defenseless children etc. shows a level of presumptiveness, self indulgence and lack of awareness of others feelings that borders on NPD (Narcissistic personality disorder)

The authors contention that Ms. Flores (who already stated she does not believe it was sexual in nature) has a compulsory requirement to “address” others questions concerning his behavior is ridiculous and frankly “crap”.

Don’t pay any attention to that loon. He doesn’t know what he is talking about.

It is true that Allahpundit is a Never Trumper, but JAZZ SHAW the author of this article is a big trump supporter. All you have to do is ignore articles that are written by Allapundit and not mix them up with those written by a Trump supporter.

OK, I have to indulge in hyperbole to determine what you do and do not believe. So, you agree that there are times when we CAN and DO hug someone.

Also, the author NEVER TRIED to defend Joe Biden’s behavior, he is simply using this behavior to raise an even more general question — What SOCIAL RULE should everyone follow. Hence to call this article “crap” is in and of itself (your words not mine ) - hyperbole.

I believe it is a legitimate question that needs to be addressed.

This is where the question is BEGGED.

Is it a general rule, the author asks, that before you hug someone ( even in a show of affection ), that you have to ask for their consent before you do? His question is NOT CRAPPY. He wants to know at what point, a line is crossed, which is a legitimate question.
