I think the semantics over it being 'assault' is a distraction. I think the issue is whether it's a problem and how to deal with it, which I don't think the divide is as big. Where I see the difference is Shell B wanting women to chiefly be responsible, and others wanting the responsibility to be shared more? So for all the back and forth, I don't think anyone is too far apart in the end.
Fair enough. And as I've said, I think there is definitely a problem with how he acted. That is his fault. But it is her fault that she wasn't more clear about wanting to stop when she wanted to stop.
I'm glad we all agree there was no assault.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
