He kissed her on the lips out of pure happiness infront of billions of people on TV but is now called as sexual assault and now the women aren't ready to return to football yet. Have a laugh. This world's getting so soft.

So, if you had a male boss and he was so happy you did a really good job for him that he held your face and kissed you on the mouth, you'd be ok with it?

Because the snowflakes don't like a reasoned argument.

A kiss is never sexual assault in that situation any more than treading on someone's toe in a queue is GBH.

Quite.

I get on really well with my boss but I'd have his guts for garters if he decided to randomly kiss me on the lips!

I very much doubt the men on here saying it's fine, would be happy if their boss kissed them.

I wouldn't be comfortable kissing my kids on the lips either. They most definitely wouldn't be comfortable with it!

Does highlight cultural differences though which maybe complicated this incident.

To me it looked as though this incident itself blew up not so much about the kiss itself but because the bloke had prior form and then went on to be a dick with the fallout.

Never really thought about it. I guess a kiss on the lips seems like a different level of intimacy than I'd be comfortable with with my kids.

On the other hand I've definitely received kisses on the lips from Europeans and just accepted that's how they do things.

Likewise I wouldn't kiss my family on each cheek but wouldn't take issue with it by others.

I think in this case the kiss itself has been the catalyst but also a distraction from the issues some women had with the blokes behavior.

I don't think a kiss even on the lips is necessarily sexual.

However it can be inappropriate.

I had a colleague who was too touchy feely for me. I felt uncomfortable with her hugs. Especially in a work place.

Hugs can be sexual and intimate.

Hugs can be a way of sharing joy and congratulations.

They can be uncomfortable and inappropriate.

Imo he was in the wrong. Not too the extent being claimed. But also, he should have apologised. A line was crossed.

Honestly, I don't know. I'm not saying he's innocent.

Where I really feel he went wrong, was not accepting he made her feel like she did. He should've held his hands up immediately.

Have you never asked a toddler to 'give me a kiss'? I don't know anyone who hasn't done that, genuinely. "

No I haven't.

But yes I likely kissed the kids on the lips at some point when they were very little. I really don't remember.

I very much doubt our cultures are too similar.

So you're not British? Or you have a reason to believe both of our British cultures are wildly different.

Never really thought about it. I guess a kiss on the lips seems like a different level of intimacy than I'd be comfortable with with my kids.

On the other hand I've definitely received kisses on the lips from Europeans and just accepted that's how they do things.

Likewise I wouldn't kiss my family on each cheek but wouldn't take issue with it by others.

I think in this case the kiss itself has been the catalyst but also a distraction from the issues some women had with the blokes behavior.

I was willing to accept 'cultural differences' but I'm assuming you're British but Cos says he's Greek Cypriot (like Spanish). You believed Europeans 'done things that way'.

I'm not trying to dig either of you out here, I'm just trying to see why people feel a kiss on the lips is intimate. . I don’t think you are digging me out.I actually feel it could be down to culture.I would ask the question 22-25 ladies went up to collect their medals why did he not kiss the others on the lips.

Honestly, I don't know. I'm not saying he's innocent.

Where I really feel he went wrong, was not accepting he made her feel like she did. He should've held his hands up immediately."

He definitely should’ve have held his hands up immediately apologised then maybe just maybe he would have kept his job.

A kiss is never sexual assault in that situation any more than treading on someone's toe in a queue is GBH.

Have you never been overwhelmed by some momentous occasion, sad if not but you were not knowing either feelings as will never experience what they did at that time. As you say understood but somehow I doubt you ever really consider anyone's points as you've decided it's sexual assault which is truly ridiculous.

We each are capable of making our own boundaries and our decisions on whether to consent to physical intimacy. We should gain consent from another, before physical contact that requires consent. It's fairly simple and is easily learned by young children, long before becoming an adult. Much abuse and sexual assault is done by people who know the others. Prior familiarity doesn't give unspoken consent to anything.

This man seemed to have a repulsive attitude and probably showed his true colours in the way he dealt with this, after the incident. It was deeply unsavoury, despite some old school men thinking he'd been fine

Thanks to this thread, and ones like it, we will now have new question in our vetting list:-

1. Are you in a relationship where the other partner does not know that you’re meeting others.

2. Do you accept that consent can be withdrawn at any point in the process, including up to and during sex.

3. Are you in anyway homophobic, transphobic or racist.

4. Do you partake in an activity that exploits or kills an animal.

5. Do you watch men who get rightly called out for bad behaviour and abusive attitudes and feel sorry for them when it’s clear to the whole world they did wrong.

I’ve always like to think I’ve been respectful towards women and tried to see how life is for them.

However, conversations with women friends in the light of the Sarah Everard case, me too and the recent report on doctors and female health care staff have actually jolted me quite a bit. When you hear every single one of them describe the stuff they put up with from guys, it’s effing sobering. Most of it would be seen as “low-level” I guess, but it’s the relentlessness of those events and having to be constantly on your guard etc.

After the report in doctors came out the other day, I had a highly uncomfortable, but very revelatory conversation with my octogenarian mum about what she put up with as a nurse in the 1960s and 70s. It was a bit jaw dropping.

To many, it was just a kiss. I can see that, but she wasn’t happy and that needs respecting. It certainly looked “ewww” to me. Maybe it’s more a cumulative thing, where the person has experienced many “low level” events. Whatever, he was a d*ck for doubling down in the aftermath.

I do wonder how many guys would accept being kissed by another guy on the lips in a moment of exuberance (I don’t think being kissed by a woman is a like-for-like comparison).

I guess I just think it’s one where men should take a step back and listen. Women aren’t perfect of course (sorry women!), but there’s a massive imbalance around unwanted attention overall.

If all that makes me a snowflake, I’ll happily wear that badge. The ones who bandy that term around are the biggest moaners anyway

No, that was a bad suggestion - perhaps we can drink White Lightning and shout at passers by instead?

Vienna? This means nothing to me "

I've met Pickle. He's definitely a White Lightning kinda guy.

"Obviously shouldn't have done it. Do think it's a bit overblown though. Gary Neville kissed Paul Scholes on the lips when he scored a few years ago, it was like wtf, but wasn't classed as sexual assault.

Was Paul Scholar unhappy about it? Did he feel in any way violated?"

He was a scholar of football

If he knows her

great stuff. Both of you. Really great stuff.

I'm going to start by saying that I'm not posting my own personal opinion on this thread because, well, it's personal to me and not open to public opinion.

However, like the BBC, I think some parity is needed.

On live television Katy Perry turned and kissed a male contestant without warning.

So, should she be subjected to the same judgement and ruling (whatever that might be)?

Because it's an almost identical situation, but with roles reversed.

Equality has to mean exactly that or it's not as defined.

For those of you who are thinking, I can't see many males complaining about Katy Perry kissing them spontaneously, that's not the point here.

"I’ve always like to think I’ve been respectful towards women and tried to see how life is for them.

However, conversations with women friends in the light of the Sarah Everard case, me too and the recent report on doctors and female health care staff have actually jolted me quite a bit. When you hear every single one of them describe the stuff they put up with from guys, it’s effing sobering. Most of it would be seen as “low-level” I guess, but it’s the relentlessness of those events and having to be constantly on your guard etc.

After the report in doctors came out the other day, I had a highly uncomfortable, but very revelatory conversation with my octogenarian mum about what she put up with as a nurse in the 1960s and 70s. It was a bit jaw dropping.

To many, it was just a kiss. I can see that, but she wasn’t happy and that needs respecting. It certainly looked “ewww” to me. Maybe it’s more a cumulative thing, where the person has experienced many “low level” events. Whatever, he was a d*ck for doubling down in the aftermath.

I do wonder how many guys would accept being kissed by another guy on the lips in a moment of exuberance (I don’t think being kissed by a woman is a like-for-like comparison).

I guess I just think it’s one where men should take a step back and listen. Women aren’t perfect of course (sorry women!), but there’s a massive imbalance around unwanted attention overall.

If all that makes me a snowflake, I’ll happily wear that badge. The ones who bandy that term around are the biggest moaners anyway "

Very well said. If we build a culture of consent at the lowest Levels it will teach the lesson to our children. To the boys who may become the perpetrators and to the girls that they knew they have the right to expect consent each and every time.

If it was not consensual:

Why did she not knee him in the bollox? Instead of tapping him on his left hip with her right hand and departing with a huge smile on her face.

Also, the video on the bus of her chatting with her team mates. She didn't seem particularly pissed off then.

Agreed it looked seriously bad. But the dude was ecstatic at winning the world cup and people react in very strange ways. Just a mistake, a bad mistake admittedly, and he's being hung out to dry.

He crossed a line, if he’d of give her a celebration hug and a kiss a cheek like everyone else, we wouldn’t be having this conversation but he took hold of her head and give her a long kiss on the lips, he was totally inappropriate.

He’s only got himself to blame for the situation he’s in.

Totally agree.. Consent.. But Vilda his mate gropped a bossom same day.. Was consent given to either.. No.

Thats a personal relationship where presumably both parties are comfortable with the kiss. It might not be sexual in nature but it is intimate and doesn’t track that because you do it happily with your daughter and mother that its ok for others to do it to anyone they wish with a “its not sexual” argument as justification

Or if it’s just a mistake on his part or if she just taps him on the hip with a big smile on her face

I mean, why don’t assault victims just fight the guy off? Or wear something less tempting?

"I'm just keeping a list of all the times when it's ok for a man to grab a woman's head and kiss her on the lips.

So far, I've got:

If he knows her

If it's a celebration

Anything else?

If he’s the Head of the Spanish FA

Of course. And also if another celeb is accused of r@pe then this is ok. I saw that by a poster on this thread. So must be ok.

Updating: it's ok for a man to grab a woman and kiss her on the lips if:

if he's her boss OR

if he knows her OR

If it's a celebration OR

If a celeb is accused of r@pe OR

A woman has ever done it to a man OR

If she didn't look miserable afterwards

OR any combination of the above

New addition:

If she doesn't immediately knee him in the bollox OR

If she smiles or laughs afterward

"If he had kissed her on the cheek or both cheeks that would be acceptable but a kiss on the lips to someone other than his wife or partner is not acceptable

What about my daughters? A kiss on the lips isn't necessarily sexual. . I personally wouldn’t be comfortable with that but your daughter you are the adult if you are comfortable with that that’s all that matters

Why wouldn't you be comfortable with it?

I have always kissed my daughters on the lips, as I have my mother. . Just a personal thing that I am not comfortable with

But do you have a reason to feel that way? It's quite interesting to understand why people feel certain ways about certain things. . It doesn’t feel right to me feels almost like i***** to meSorry but WTF.

Very strange.

Very

Common though. I remember people had a go at David Beckham for this

I remember that too and also remember thinking they’re the ones with an issue not the Beckhams. To even think that is extremely strange and slightly disturbing. In my opinion.

I kiss my kids and tell them I love them every single day. If anyone sees that as weird they need their hard drives checked."

Same. My son is 21 and will still give me a kiss on the cheek or top of my head. It's a loving gesture towards his mother, nothing more. Also we kiss our daughter, both of us. It's parental love that is reciprocated.

"If it was not consensual:

Why did she not knee him in the bollox? Instead of tapping him on his left hip with her right hand and departing with a huge smile on her face.

Also, the video on the bus of her chatting with her team mates. She didn't seem particularly pissed off then.

Agreed it looked seriously bad. But the dude was ecstatic at winning the world cup and people react in very strange ways. Just a mistake, a bad mistake admittedly, and he's being hung out to dry."

It's assault pure and simple. So he deserves everything he gets. What will it take to change the attitude to consent is EVERYTHING?!

"I'm going to start by saying that I'm not posting my own personal opinion on this thread because, well, it's personal to me and not open to public opinion.

However, like the BBC, I think some parity is needed.

On live television Katy Perry turned and kissed a male contestant without warning.

So, should she be subjected to the same judgement and ruling (whatever that might be)?

Because it's an almost identical situation, but with roles reversed.

Equality has to mean exactly that or it's not as defined.

For those of you who are thinking, I can't see many males complaining about Katy Perry kissing them spontaneously, that's not the point here.

HW&SB"

I agree on the parity point. However people seem to be using it to allow this guy off the hook, rather than us actually perhaps hold both sexes to a higher standard which is the direction i think we should be travelling.

It blows my mind that as a society things repeatedly come up where a large group of people are saying look can we just be a bit more respectful of each others boundaries, maybe not assume that we know what they are, check for consent before we cross them … all seems entirely reasonable. Then the other half of the population say absolutely not, its not a boundary for me tom dick or harry, therefore you are being ridiculous.

Rubiales did NOT win the World Cup. 23 Spanish women won the frikking world cup but no, a MAN has to overshadow their achievement. Rubiales won nothing. He saw a massive €€€ payday that he, as the then-FA chief could cash in on, but he did not score a goal, he did not save a goal, he did not set foot on the active playing surface.

23 Spanish women won the world cup, of which one was Jenni Hermoso.

I bet if she had a broken nose, and front teeth missing he wouldn't have kissed her on the mouth.

This is also my thoughts on it. I appreciate others have a different opinion but hard to understand when they can't tell you why they think that way.. Hi FastandFeisty I am not sure if this is directed at me or someone else but I felt I explained myself last night that perhaps it’s more a cultural thing.Me been Greek Cypriot and you been British we perhaps see things differently thereby react differently.Happy to respect your and everyone else’s different points of view."

Partly aimed at yourself (and others), I appreciate you believe it could be cultural differences. Personally I disagree as I actually see Europeans as more tactile than Brits, but still accept your thoughts on it.

To repeat what I posted on another thread;

"I suspect the mood of the moment got the better of him and he acted emotionally, in the "moment"

I believe, given his position and the esteemed company he was in, he should not have acted that way.

I know he has acted poorly ever since and has massively missjudged the room.

His actions since the incident suggest bullish, macho, bravissimo behaviours which are poor character traits, especially for a man in his position.

If he'd come straight out and apologised, said that he understood his actions were wrong, offered his resignation and acted like a decent, civilised human being there's a good chance this would have been yesterday's chip wrappers.

Instead he's acted like an arrogant, lieing, ignorant bully.

And I hope like all bullys should, he'll get (figuratively) punched on the nose, the twunt"

I'll add to the mix, the number of men posting on the various threads on this matter, who don't understand consent is disturbing.

We should be celebrating their win. Instead, this twunt. Still.......

Thats a personal relationship where presumably both parties are comfortable with the kiss. It might not be sexual in nature but it is intimate and doesn’t track that because you do it happily with your daughter and mother that its ok for others to do it to anyone they wish with a “its not sexual” argument as justification"

I haven't said that because I'm comfortable with it then everyone else should be. Nor have I used that argument as justification.

If you'd like discuss in detail with me, I'd prefer you not to try put words in my mouth.

You do imply though that you think that people objecting to you kissing your children have the strange point of view. I guess i just think its something that is personal to each relationship, for some it is fine for others it is weird and to have that mix is ok.

I think the whole scenario has come about because people wrongly assume their boundaries are “the” boundaries when the line is actually personal to each and every one of us

It tracks because someone said 'someone other than wife or partner is not acceptable', I then asked a question.

Can't actually believe that's something I need to explain.

When you say 'people', that includes me doesn't it?
