There are short male sex offenders too.....
I really want to be able to work in that size matters here, somewhere, but I just can't.

I agree but at the same time I'm pretty sure the police would (or should) sympathize with anyone who lashes out after being attacked. Even if it wasn't required for self defense.
When people get attacked they panic. It's not as if she waited 5 minutes and then walked up to him and punched him. The panic part of her brain understandably responded and lashed out because she was attacked.
If she'd beaten him to a pulp and clearly kept going way past just lashing out quickly that would have been a lot more serious. Attacking someone back after they assault you isn't necessarily retribution... it can be instinct.

Its true attacking back can be knee jerk type instinct but she walks after the guy and tracks him down.
Im a jumpy person and im ticklish and ive punched and kicked many people by lashing out instinctively before but it doesnt count if you have to follow them as theyre running away.
But thats really just splitting hairs, whether its a focused retribution or an instinctive reaction judging by the video she couldnt argue self defence.
I agree that the woman definitely deserves sympathy and in a similar way i think the guy probably shouldnt be registered as a sex offender for tapping a tit. Or if he is then just for a few months to get a message across.
The guy did look very humiliated so hopefully he learned his lesson.
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.

Yep. You don't get away with shit because of your size. It reminds me of small dogs. I once read a vet's assessment on why they tend to be bigger shitheads. It's because their owners don't discipline them because they don't do much damage when they nip, jump, etc. That doesn't make them any less assholes. They require discipline. You forfeit your right to complain about being punched the moment you randomly grab a stranger's genitals.

If some chick wants to grab my package: go for it! Just be gentle with the boys! However, if a man tried it...!!!
My girlfriend thinks I'm a stalker. Well...she's not my girlfriend "yet".
I discovered a new vitamin that fights cancer. I call it ...B9
I also invented a diet pill. It works great but had to quit taking it because of the side effects. Turns out my penis is larger and my hair grew back. And whoa! If you think my hair is nice!
When does size truly matter? When it's TOO big!
I'm currently working on a new pill I call "Destenze". However...now my shoes don't fit.

They don't, but they should at least have the option, especially if they are perfectly capable of doing it.

No, but neither would a woman be more of a woman if they were naked in public places. This isn't about being more or less of something.
Quote:What you say makes sense if this was an fact and logic based ideal society, but in this society comparing boobs to dicks does make sense, cause we live in a society where they both are considered almost equally sexual.
I don't disagree that they are almost equally sexual. However plenty of things are sexual. My wife enjoys looking at me when I'm wearing jeans and no t-shirt, she finds that sexy. Plenty of people find certain expressions sexy. A lot of men enjoy looking at women's asses and find them sexual, are thong bikinis OK on the beach? Both ass cheeks are on display, most people are fine with that. A lot of people are seemingly OK with bras that barely cover anything but the nipple, with the entire rest of the breast on display. It seems that society is mostly fine with 90% of the boob showing, but as soon as it's 100% of the boob (or to be honest, when it's the nipple being shown) there's a problem. Except if you are breastfeeding, which is fine...because...reasons?
There's little consistency. Men have nipples. Male nipples are fine. Women's nipples are not, unless there's a baby in close vicinity.
Quote:If I lived in a society where my feet were considered sexual and there was a high chance of random people grabbing my feet if I went out barefoot, I'd consider always wearing my shoes just as important.
This is borderline victim blaming, sorry.
The fact that there is a high chance of random people grabbing your feet is not in any way your fault, and you shouldn't have to cover up your feet when it's the creeps who are doing the grabbing who are at fault and breaking the law.
The girl in the video was not inviting anyone to grab her breasts just by having them out. Only creeps and abusers seem to think grabbing them is OK.

Philosophy isn't horseshit though. It's just the simple is most of the time not as simple as it seems.
