Dumb mistake???? How do you mistakenly kiss someone???
Stop justifying sexual assault!
By believing the other person would be fine with it. It happens.
Doing it to people with whom you have no intimate relationship and without asking is exactly how you get sexual assault charges.
I've done that plenty of times when going out. It's been done to me plenty of times as well. That's how I got my current girlfriend. This idea that you always need to first get explicit permission before making a move is not how real life works.
Besides, he's said he asked beforehand. Who are we to judge what really happened? I have no clue.
I'll stand by my opinion that a kiss should not nearly be serious enough to ruin someones life.
@N1cknamed The world has changed. This is how it works nowadays. We’re not expected to put up with strangers slobbering on us anymore. If a man kissed me without permission, I’d punch him. Hard.
Well, I'd hate to live where you do.
Do you kiss subordinates who you have power over when you go out?
Going out together on a date is an entirely different situation. You've both already decided there's some interest in one another, and presumably with the date going well and a bit sense in reading the other person's feeling, explicit permission obviously may not be necessary. And you probably still wouldn't do a surprise sneak-attack kiss in a very public setting.
What happened here was terrible and was completely unwarranted. He used his position of power to take advantage. They had no intimate or any relationship outside of professional sports and there was literally no reason for this dude to think she wants me to kiss her.
