I've never "copped a feel".

FWIW, I also find Louis CK's apology to be insincere.
I often feel as though the people who are best suited to be in power are the people who don't want it and therein lies the problem.

When I made it clear I was going to kick his ass if he kept it up, he laughed at me until my guy friend turned around. I had a guy rape kiss me (this incident is the very reason I call it rape kissing) and then tell my friend later (she was his girlfriend) that I kissed him. I had a guy kiss me and then try to go for more. When I told him no, he said "It's too late for that." There are other incidents, but most guys who are the sort to apologize if they crossed a line are the sort to wait for an invitation.
I doubt any guy decent enough to be capable of making sincere apologies would ever do something so vile in the first place.
