    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

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

      what “actively harms victims of sexual violence” is gatekeeping the definition of it, and normalising nonconsensual intimate physical acts. maybe spend some time researching the “real rape” myth, and its impact on reporting, investigation, and conviction rates.
