While I think Ken Cuchanelli is a douche canoe like the rest of them, but this is just their run of the mill poo poo for the Admin, and ole crypt keeper Steven Miller said something similar a year ago.

I’m not sure if was posted in this thread or someplace worse, but there’s a draft EO to lock down the internet that’s making rounds that’s more full on fascism than anything.

It varies a lot but I can't even find a definition of indecent assault that includes "pantsing a guy"

It's bad, its definitely sexual harassment, but jesus loving christ lets have some perspective here.



If it's ok with you, the wikipedia definition of sexual assault is "Sexual assault is an act in which a person intentionally sexually touches another person without that person's consent, or coerces or physically forces a person to engage in a sexual act against their will." I would argue that if a large male like myself had forcefully exposed a young woman's vagina in public many people, possibly even you, would describe that as sexual assault. Just because the genders are reversed and Katy Perry did it does not mean it wasn't an "intentional sexual touching without the victim's consent".

The fascist playbook has already been written, we know what the Republican response to deep dicking the economy will be. The only two questions left are which out-group will be the highest profile when they need a target to redirect their base's anger away from themselves and how far they'll push to cripple democracy to stay in power during the upheaval.

No, I wouldn't, because that's not sexual assault, which is on the same level as rape.

I was going by the definition provided by RAINN

quote:

What is sexual assault?
The term sexual assault refers to sexual contact or behavior that occurs without explicit consent of the victim. Some forms of sexual assault include:

Attempted rape
Fondling or unwanted sexual touching
Forcing a victim to perform sexual acts, such as oral sex or penetrating the perpetrator’s body
Penetration of the victim’s body, also known as rape

https://www.rainn.org/articles/sexual-assault

Pulling down someone's pants is not "sexual touching" as it's being used in both those definitions. Pantsing doesn't usually involve even touching the victim except by accident. We can ackowledge there's different bad things with different names that are all unacceptable.

Punching someone in the gut isn't assault in most places - it's battery.

Jarmak is right that generally speaking, sexual assault is akin to rape and pantsing someone does not meet the requirements. it does not meet the requirements for sexual battery in Florida, for example. That is not to say that it isn't a potential criminal offense, but it isn't sexual battery.

I'm not kidding when I say that I had to, on several occasions, simply say that the UCMJ does not apply to the president, and that if you do what he says he did, you will get crushed by UCMJ and local laws and even if you're just using bullshit talk, you are in violation of army values and could get punished for harassment, hostile environment, etc.

You're wrong, though, because Jarmak is right. Criminal codes vary per jurisdiction, but pantsing someone is not sexual assault under any that I know of.

Now, it is potentially an offense, and potentially an offense that could carry with it sex offender registration, but it is not sexual assault or battery to pants someone regardless of gender.



For those that don't know, Jarmak is also a lawyer. He's not talking out of his rear end. We're pointing out nuances in the law and incorrect assumptions based upon lay expectations of how the law works.

No when you punch someone in the gut you touch them through their clothes. Which is why touching his junk through his pants would be sexual assault.

I don't understand why sexual harassment/ gross invasion of privacy isn't something we can be outraged about without having to equivocate getting pants'd with an actual victim of sexual assault.

Honestly? Because the term has a very broad definition that encompasses everything from "coworker makes awkward sex jokes around colleagues in the break room" to apparently exposing someone else's genitalia to a large group of people. So the term is pretty watered down in most people's minds given that the former situation constitutes the vast majority of examples, thus not doing a great job of portraying the seriousness of the offense. You're the lawyer here, but I've gotta believe the pantsing situation would be a slam dunk in a workplace harassment lawsuit.

Personally I think the problem is considering the former not a big deal but the watering down effect is exactly my objection to calling this sexual assault.

I've been close to several women who have been sexual assaulted, including being the first new sex partner of a survivor of a particularly heinous date rape. It bothers me equivocating the pain and trauma of sexual assault with getting pants'd.
