    There was no question in the post that was in response to.

    What question would you like answered?

    The question was implied, even though there was no question mark.

    Why is it not assault because he wanted it?

    Because unwanted forced physical contact is assault.

    It's not assault because she guessed right?

    Yes. I'm not sure why you find this problematic. If you engage in a reckless behavior, there is a chance that you will get lucky and not actually do harm. This is a pretty universal trait of reckless behavior.

    The question is whether it was assault, not whether she did harm.

    If the reckless behavior you are engaging in is physical contact with another person without their permission, then the harm you are risking is assault.

    Why wasn't what she did assault? He didn't consent affirmatively. He didn't consent enthusiastically. He didn't consent uncoerced.

    You are waging the Bob Knight defense.

    LOL. So, if Trump grabbed a woman by her pussy, because she “let” him, it’s all good, right?

    And, if she doesn’t push his hand away, can he assume she likes it?
