Something has gone very wrong with our society. Suddenly we are to assume that every touch, kiss or word is meant as a sexual assault.
The Me Too movement has done much to open our eyes to unwanted sexual advances, assault and comments. But perhaps some women have become over-sensitized.
A good example is the latest complaint about how former Vice President Joe Biden grasped a woman by the shoulders and kissed the back of her head. When did such a thing become sexual assault? There was no sexual connotation to Biden’s actions. Why, then, is what he did so evil?
The Me Too movement has made it difficult for men and women to work together. Are we supposed to treat each other as automatons without feelings, without physical touching or without camaraderie? Teasing and joking make an office a friendly environment. When that becomes sexual in nature it crosses the line and should be stopped. But who decides where that line is?
