You find the kindest way to tell them off that isn't provocative or escalating but is firm, and have the body language to match, instead of going into a fawn state. A mindful partner should be able to step into that space when it's called for. Otherwise they'll feel like the most unsafe person to be with if an actually dangerous situation arises... cause they'll just slump and duck away even if violated and leave you to your own devices.

I doubt it was a misunderstanding on Groot’s part, because this is still a really weird and out of touch take.
I know you like to go on these little diatribes about society and how men and women ought to be an everything but maybe scale it back big guy. I’ve never met a woman who liked being told what she needed and how she felt, especially by men that don’t know their situation and don’t know women in general.
McDavid handled it fine. Get on with your day, avoiding turning it into anything, move on. It’s not like she was in danger or needed “protecting” (lol) at any point.
