I replied to these ideas in detail in another thread. My short response: Your problem isn’t really with non consensual touching (you’d have no problem with someone giving you or your spouse or daughter a love pat on the back), it’s with SEX. You automatically assume that any non consensual touch that’s remotely sexual in nature MUST somehow be an offensive violation of self sovereignty when other types of nonconsensual touches are not. I maintain that your thinking (and women’s thinking) on this point is purely a result of conditioning. For thousands of years we have literally terrorized our daughters to fear sex and the attention of men in order to maintain their chastity so as avoid being shamed by the moralizers and to preserve “family honor”. To this day women in certain Muslim countries who respond to men’s (not her husband’s) sexual interest in accordance with natural instincts rather than in ways prescribed bu the religion will be publicly stoned to death or subjected to disfiguring acid attacks (thus destroying her beauty and her sex appeal for life). At least here in American and Europe, all we do now is mental terrorize them by shaming and humiliating them mercilessly, I suppose.
