    Please show me where Spanish criminal code defines what constitutes a kiss.

    The law doesn’t even define sexual assault beyond “unwanted sexual conduct”. And again, a kiss is not inherently sexual.

    Calling this sexual assault doesn’t help anyone, and actively harms victims of actual sexual violence.

      You should join Luis Rubiales’ defense 🤷‍♂️

      Calling this sexual assault doesn’t help anyone, and actively harms victims of actual sexual violence.

      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

          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
