Sigh

Nonsense. Physical contact is not something that people have to allow from strangers as an incidental cost of social interaction. And just because everyone has to deal with uncomfortable situations doesn't mean that others are allowed make people uncomfortable with something that is unnecessary.

It is totally the person that initiates the contact's problem, as they are the ones responsible for making the other uncomfortable with a gesture that has an intimate nature to it. There are even people that have suffered rape and abuse that can't tolerate being touched because it reminds them of the abuse. But even if there wasn't, that doesn't give people the right to physically touch someone.

They're called boundaries for a reason.

Those are your boundaries, and you're going to find that not everybody agrees with them.

Then I hope they enjoy a prison cell, because that's where they'll be if they interfere in my/anyone's right not to be interfered with.
