Furthermore, the unexpected passionate kiss has been a landmark of American romanticism from time immemorial. Are we to reimagine Tramp as a sex offender because he didn't spit out his spaghetti to ask permission before meeting Lady's kiss? Seems like "Gone with the Wind" wouldn't have been quite as romantic if Rhett Butler's famous pre-kiss speech had been, "Stop it. You hear me Scarlett, stop it. No more of that talk. With your permission, I am now going to put my tongue in your mouth."
Maybe it's easy to dismiss the "kissing permission" stance as merely extreme feminist ravings. But they are not alone. Last year, universities often cited a statistic that showed one in five women on campus had been sexually assaulted. But, among other problems, that number was inflated by women who had been subjected to "unwanted kissing." Further, the "permission to smooch" stance is a natural progression of the "affirmative consent" movement among states that are passing laws mandating a woman say "yes" out loud before any sexual contact takes place.
More concerning, though, is the fact that it appears that laws are now mandating things that used to be learned simply through personal interaction. We now have a generation that foster romantic relationships by staring at computer screens, without learning to pick up nonverbal cues. And when we start to not be able to read people and situations, lawyers get involved litigation now fills in the cracks where personal experience once governed.

Would he object to having intimate contact without his consent and with somebody he is not attracted to? Of course not! He would love having a stranger's tongue down his throat. It would be so romantic!

(4,876 posts)without his permission he won't have a problem with it? It would be romantic?
Somehow I doubt if a I walked up and kissed him without his permission, his column the next day would be entitled: "Unexpected Passionate Kiss Brings Back Memories of American Romanticism From Time Immemorial." ( a quote from his column)
What an ass.

(10,998 posts)Look at this Prince Andrew, Jeffrey Epstein story....some males are addicted to sex, to the point of believing they are entitled to use their prey as they desire. They have no real ability to truly connect emotionally with anyone. Conquest is their only relational ability.
