lucky for me we don't have said stereotypes in my country, I never even made the connection until someone told me about it a few months ago :P

I was just kidding, of course. :)

'Feminists' are lawlz.

I wonder if there's any correlation between the responses here and GS's proclivity for "girl help" threads.

Why does it seem to me, that older generations and more traditional young women - while not wanting to be stepped on by anyone - are far less senstive compared to a lot of hyper-sensitive feminists?

I think people have become too sensitive.

Guys it's not a big deal, nor did she even care in the first place.

Also I don't remember who said it but forceful kissing isn't rape. It's sexual assault but NOT rape. Rape involves penetration. Jesus...

Sh!t like this really gets my blood boiling. Its not like he stuck his finger in her ass while he leaned her over for fvck's sake.

Anyhow, rape and sexual assault is a disgusting and vile violation of a woman OR a man. But to see the feminists using something like this to further their cause or to bring attention to it really makes me question their thinking.

Seriously, things like this do nothing to get people to listen to them. With all of the terrible crimes committed against women all over the globe, they choose this to get people's attention?

Besides, did you see how that nurse was dressed? She was totally asking for it! ;)

The guy stole a kiss. Big deal. Back then "goils were goils and men were men."El_Zo1212o

and i'm guilty of that as well. and personally speaking - and even a handful of the girls said the same thing - it's because we guys don't know where the 'line' is anymore. if we try and be spontaneous physically, we can go to jail in a quick hurry. all for misreading the signs. were apparently supposed to be able to read minds.

Which also reminds of the Louis CK skit. now his thing is about rape, but the first move if not wanted goes under assault or misconduct. and seriously who wants that on their record and reputation.

Drunken sailor kisses random woman on the street today "OMG what a perv!" Drunken sailor kisses random woman on the street fifty years ago "OMG, don't talk bad about him, we LIKE that picture!" If you're defending something you wouldn't normally defend simply because it's part of American iconography then I think feminists have made their point rather well.

Okay, next time there's a big event I'm going to go out, get drunk, and kiss some random woman on the street. She better not prosecute. Like you said, it's alright if it's not random.

i remember watching a few youtube videos of ladies going around different college campuses asking what they like about men and what they think of them today. wasn't all that surprised to find they said they like assertive but not bossy was the one trait a lot of the ladies had in common for their desire. then kinda surprised when a lot of them said nowadays guys are way too skittish and shy and won't take the initiative to make the first move.

and i'm guilty of that as well. and personally speaking - and even a handful of the girls said the same thing - it's because we guys don't know where the 'line' is anymore. if we try and be spontaneous physically, we can go to jail in a quick hurry. all for misreading the signs. were apparently supposed to be able to read minds.

I got sexually assaulted once by a female, she rubbed my butt... I think the way to judge is not by legal definitions but through common sense. No harm no foul anyone? As long as her ability to function throughout the day is not hindered. Girl touched my butt, but I could still do my job anyways. I honestly dont think it is fair to call it a sexual assault. By the definition of assault, I have been assaulted an hundred times today... It takes the situation completely out of context.

I don't see the big deal, it happened in 1945 and it was just a kiss. What's the big deal?

I remember a party over a friend's house a few years ago where I got pretty hammered and laid down on one of the beds, and after a few minutes one of the girls I had been talking to that night (She wasn't drinking) came in, got on top of me and shoved her tongue in my mouth and led me by the hand all over the house and made out with me. Are you saying I was raped?

If I was then that's cool because that is seriously one of the coolest things to happen in my life.

No I never saw her again after that. But everyone else at the party said she was a slvt, so I guess that was her motive.

If that event is world war fvcking three and you were fighting in it, go for it.

Congrats on surviving, you may steal a kiss.

I think it should only be a problem if the women thought it was a problem, I think it's odd that other people are getting upset about it for her.General_X

THIS!

Do people have any idea what rape/sexual assault constitute? Apparently not seeing how stupid people are calling this rape...

I second that.

And it's not as if she needs defending almost 70 years after the fact.
Sure the kiss might have been a shock for her, but she wasn't repulsed by it either.

I wouldn't go so far as to say he raped her but seems a bit uncalled for. Then again this is over half a century ago, who cares at this point.

how sad that women in the west are still living under all of this.

It's like if you had a white guy and a black guy, who were kinda friends, and one or both had a habit of making racist jokes (you know those 'jokes' that don't always seem like jokes) at one another. and the two on all accounts seem perfectly fine with being that way to each other. then the third party is like "ohhhhh.... that's racist".

but i'd get it, if in either case whether Friedman or my quick example, someone was upset about it. Just seems a bit silly when both parties don't seem to have an issue to see a third party just got their collective undies in a twist.

I was going to post but Lockedge summed up my feelings perfectly.Sajo7

The Joy of Hate: How to Triumph over Whiners in the Age of Phony Outrageby Greg Gutfeld. Everyone should read it.

Technically speaking, it is rape but seriously, you think she gave a **** ? The war just ended for godsake and the sailor didn't have any bad intentions. Not to mention its a really old photograph, certain things were socially acceptable back then. Nonstop-Madness

It is definetely not rape, but it technically is sexual assault

how sad that women in the west are still living under all of this.

I thought it was a neat little fact and that the article's attempt at social commentary was frivolous.
