Touching Without Permission

[catsittingstill]

 It's unpleasant.  Don't do it.  But (I hope) you all know that.  

It's unpleasant for a man too.  And he has just as much right to freedom from unwanted touching as women and kids.  Just saying.

Cosplay is not consent.  Costumes are not consent.  Kilts are not consent.  Clothing of *any* kind... is not consent.  It really is that simple.

Amen.

(I don't seem to have access to that the post you linked to, BTW. Possibly the guy has changed it since you linked?)

Yes, that is exactly what happened. The short version is he says a teenaged girl tried to feel up under his kilt. Which just struck me as completely inappropriate touching he has every right to be free from.

Clothing of any kind is not consent.

THIS.

[catsittingstill]

Yeah. And it occurred to me later that perhaps I should have added "or its absence" to "clothing of any kind" while I was on the subject.

But yeah.
