RE: It’s a tortured defense of a behavior that I would question regardless of who was the perpetrator of it.
I believe you ought to give the author a little slack here because he is asking a pertinent question — How do you differentiate creepy behavior and a harmless sign of affection?
What he is questioning is this -— we have reached a point where even harmless signs of affection are now being equated with sexual molestation.
Can we kiss babies anymore?
This has reached a point where even Mike Pence cannot have dinner with a woman who is not his wife and a poster saying that he used to hug women affectionately but does not do it anymore.
We have in effect, become a society of suspicious people who question everyone else’s motives because of what the #MeToo movement has done.
“How do you differentiate creepy behavior and a harmless sign of affection?”
As I stated in the previous post; It requires a tortured rational to classify the listed behaviors that he has exhibited to COMPLETE STRANGERS as “harmless sign(s) of affection?”
At best it’s a very suspect lack of judgment, at worst....
