In the news
[edit]In the fall of 2017, there are many allegations against many prominent men in the U.S. Is this worth including? Are Trump's comments worth mentioning? I doubt the latter, but maybe the former is significant enough in scope and consequences to be included. Can people please weigh in on this and make a decision.5.34.85.139 (talk) 05:31, 14 November 2017 (UTC)
Fondling and Groping are Being Dangerously Conflated — Suggest Rewrite
[edit]This article blurs the definitions of groping — unwanted sexual touching, often in public — and fondling, which is defined in some dictionaries as “loving touching...” Groping is a form of sexual assault. Fondling typically occurs between two consenting adults. Although fondling is used in a negative context, because it is used positively sometimes, using it as a synonym is not only wrong but it has a harmful effect given Wikipedia’s role in society. It blurs the lines for would-be perpetrators.
Groping is classed as a form of sexual assault in many jurisdictions. Many women have experienced unwanted sexual touching. This article should be rewritten so it does not use blurry terminology. Sbv17 (talk) 16:14, 9 October 2018 (UTC)
