You should join Luis Rubiales' defense 🤷♂️
How so? This kind of argument doesn't make sense to me - robbing a house is robbery, robbing a bank is still robbery. Unaliving an individual with a knife is murder, and unaliving an invididual by dangerous driving is still murder.
Each crime is looked at on a case by case basis in an ideal scenario - having the definition of one thing the same as another can not inherently harm victims affected by a higher severity of an identically named crime IMO
Being excited about a football victory: rape
I'll take the bait because why not 🤭
Sexual assault is not just rape, that kind of thinking is really narrow minded in my opinion. The definition varies depending on where you live - this can include groping, slapping another's bottom, ogling, catcalling, rape, and more.
Being excited isn't a valid reason to cross someone's personal boundaries IMO. There is never a valid reason to cross someone's boundaries unless you're exempt, on those kind of friendly terms with them
It's not sexual assault, people kiss one another all the time in sports during climactic moments, it's not a big deal and I stand with the coach here.
