I read all your links ricepudding and i have to say: that as a woman I respect the feminist point of view, HOWEVER, in the interview Greta says she didn't feel awkward or angry or upset about the sorpresive and effusive way "the kissing sailor" chose to show his joy and relief. She gave the guy a break trying to UNDERSTAND that maybe he was so relieved that he didn't have to go
back and she was on that time in that place and that was a random action, she never says she felt abused or forced. It's not that she didn't have a choice because it wasn't premeditated or planned, it was quick. They even stayed in touch every once in a while, and that shows that she hadn't any biternnes or anger about the incident.

Guest, thank you for your civil response. I don't recall any point of the interview where she said she was okay with it, but I do agree that she was not traumatized. However, I still maintain my position that the act of touching another person's body without their consent is not okay, even if they're experiencing strong feelings or have served a country in combat.
Get the fuck off ricepudding I'm a girl and I'm not a feminist so shut up and let this post be a post!

I shared the article as another way of looking at the situation, not as absolute truth. Rejecting multiple perspectives outright is a symptom of a closed mind and ignorance.
Get off with your stupid closed mind and ignorance

Yet again, feminism is not about bashing men. Ship, do you enjoy being able to pursue an education and career, choosing a partner, and being able to own property? Thank feminists.

I welcome further discussion. Down voting and leaving without a comment shows that you have no points to debate.

All he said was that he didn't trust a source that took a feminist slant.
Now I'm not a female, but I don't think I'd be happy about someone kissing me without permission just as a way of showing off happiness. I'm just not sure "being happy" is a good reason to invade personal space.

Not at all. I believe that no matter how strong one person's emotions are, they don't have the right to someone else's body. He could have expressed his happiness in many ways other than kissing a stranger without her consent.

I'd also like to point out that it doesn't need to be traumatic to count as sexual assault. Not all victims spend their lives suffering.

Edit: lol the butthurt is strong in this thread. How dare I not just take this at face value.
And the other one says that she wasn't upset about the kiss.
