No, you apply the law. The dude was touched sexually, without his consent. It's assault. By your logic any woman who is assaulted by someone who shouldn't be considered threatening (i.e. elderly, frail, etc.) shouldn't be traumatized either.

What in the hell? So now we're comparing 4 gay guys pinching a dude's ass, to this story?

And this is what I object to, what you and the other posters really want, irrespective of the event, is that women get treated the same as men even though the effect of their action is almost certainly different.

You're honestly making the claim that men who are sexually assaulted by women should not be protected by the same laws that protect women from men? Not only that but you seem to be making the claim that someone can't claim they were assaulted unless they were in serious fear for their safety. Like I asked, if a brittle, old man sticks his hand up a woman's skirt, is that sexual assault? Because I doubt the woman is in serious fear for her safety.

Nurses in old peoples homes deal with this on a daily basis and yes it is an assault and no the police stay out of it and the nurses brush it off as part of working geriatric

I'm 50, so I am, to a degree, from the suck it up and move on generation, I think the idea that everything should be dealt with by the cops/state is asinine, if I get hit by a girlfriend (hasn't happened in years but has in my past) its an assault but unless Im actually having to go to hospital there is no way I'm calling the cops, again I punch a girlfriend (never happened to be clear) I would expect to get charged, I do think there are different standards for men and women.

I was a volunteer in a nursing home for 7 years and never heard any of the nurses or pca's claim they were touched sexually by any of the seniors. They also don't brush it off as part of the job as it would have been reported with the senior being removed from the facilities.

Try this on on for size. Based in different studies, between 5% and 20% of raped women admit to having an orgasm during the attack.

What the physical body does doesn't relate the emotional traumatization.
I absolutely, unequivocally disagree with that statement. I can't get it up if the girl I am with isn't at least an 8 or 9 out of 10, and fit. It is probably why I am still in bachelor hood to this day jumping from woman to woman. I cannot become sexually attracted or perform with women that are not very attractive. Call me shallow, but that is just the way my brain is wired, and I cannot see through the whole "But she is pretty on the inside thing".

Not in a million years could I get it up from any dude, let alone the one you describe. And I am not making a statement like this as a homophobic. I think gay people are great, and am a staunch supporter of their cause.

Maybe so, but your physical responses are exactly that...yours. Other people will respond differently, through no fault of their own.

Still moving the goal posts. If the old ####### is suffering dementia and has no awareness of his actions then he legally can't be charged. I'm just asking you to clarify your position. If a woman is sexually assaulted but wasn't afraid of her attacker, is it still assault?

That a person won't be charged doesn't change the definition of the assault, and I'm not sure why we are argueing about this I have already agreed that within the letter ofthe law it was assault, just that i don't think it was worth this, or any, fuss.

I'm on the board of directors of a nursing home and we deal with it very regularly depending on our patient mix, as you can imagine it tends to be very prevelant in some individuals and totally absent in most.

The only thing a patient touching the staff does is raise a red flag as to their ability to be around female patients, they get moved to an all male ward pronto, the staff brush it off as part of dealing with dementia.

What does fear have to do with anything? Hypothetically, a child may feel no fear if they're touched by an adult, doesn't make it not sexual assault. There doesn't need to be penetration or restraint.

Wow this is the weirdest thread I have ever read. Who exactly is saying its the exact same as being gang raped and dumped in an alley? It's different but both are sexual assaults and I don't give a crap how much experience you have with female murderers or that you don't fear women, it's still sexual assault.

Your arguments are baffling, they really are.
