Totally, I agree with you 100%, ideologically. But pragmatically, I still think that treating this possibly-damaging, probably-innocuous (it is probably innocuous because he is a man) incident as definitely-harmful leads [idiots] to think that sexual assault is not something to be taken seriously.

Men can totally be assaulted, but was this man assaulted (assuming a lack of consent)? I think treating every “technically assault” as a serious, not-funny crime lessens the weight of traumatizing assaults.

reverse sexism has about as much weight to it as reverse racism
