absurd in your opinion. not absurd for the rest of us.

The wording is so open to interpretation that you could be charged for changing a nappy.

You seem to decide whether a law is acceptable on whether it suits your beliefs rather than the rights and wrongs of the actual law. And again you pretend to speak for the masses by claiming everyone else thinks it's good law too.

If a man randomly ran up to a woman and smacked her across the face, everyone would agree it was an assault an not one person would tell her to just have a sense of humor about it.

A man randomly running up to a woman and smacking her on the backside is just a bit of craic though.

I wouldn't really want him on a sex offenders list, but no one has any business hitting anyone else, anywhere. Male or female.

I absolutely agree. I don't think the man was anything except horrible for what he did. The only issue I have is with people ascribing sexual motive to it.

As I also said, "common sense should prevail" but according to the law and adhering to the law, is spanking a child sexual battery?

Consent can be a defense

Parents have implied consent to do with their children what is necessary. otherwise society could not function. Notice that for the sexual assault charge consent is not a defence.

Show me one post where anyone said he was ok to hit her. The argument is does it qualify as sexual assault

Oh I made this point last night. Apparently it's 'safe' to slap on the arse as the risk if injury/pain is small. A slap on the face us a serious assault, I was assured. A slap in the arsenal us perfectly fine and no reason to complain. All assessment are fair game.

I would be interested to see where it says that in the law. Also, what is the legal definition of necessary?

Genuinely.

Where he slapped its classed as being part of your sexual being.Just cause he didnt grab her any where else doesnt make it less serious.

Plus she had her back to him,she didnt even have a chance to defend herself.She literally didnt see it coming.

It saddens me that the days of slapping and tickling are over.

" slap and tickle is dead and gone "

is changing a nappy necessary?

Can we not just let him off what a slap on the wrist?

You are referring to another poster's example. I am not arguing on his behalf.

All Premier league managers would be doing serious time if this law was applied...

However, I do think your man should be made an example of. If he does this on live TV, what else is he up to?

Would you therefore conclude that a woman who kicks a man in the balls should be on the sex offenders register?

Who mentioned kicking?
What should someone who goes around grabbing random people in the balls be treated as?

Simple solution don't go around slapping random people you don't know on the ass.
F#ck him it was a crappy thing to do.

The person I was replying to implied that because the buttocks is a sexual part of the body slapping it is sexual assault. So therefore by applying that logic a kicking someone in the balls is sexual assault.

Kicking someone in the balls is assault obviously I don't know about sexual.
An arse can be quite sexual I guess I don't think anyone should go around slapping a strangers ass.

Ah ok, well I tend to ignore anyone who would say that and I genuinely must have missed those.

Point taken.

I'd argue the balls are much more sexual than the arse in fairness

wait...that came out wrong.

How we have talked about women in ireland has been incredibly disrespectful. You know this! I have felt humiliated and degraded in many scenarios.

I have heard in various scenarios, men often talking about women like women are animals, and with the most possible disrespect that you could imagine.

I have heard men say:

"I'd fu@k her" "I'd do her". This statment always implies that it does not matter what the woman wants, because he would "do her".

Talking about women's tits and ass.

"I'd smash her"

"I'd ride her in the grand national" - calling women an animal"

I have heard men brag about having sex with women, and then laugh at her afterwards about being loose

E.g it was like o 'connell street.

Because it is not enough to have sex with a woman - you have to humiliate her afterwards to feel the true power over her.

I have walked into a work setting where men were talking about who was their ideal "celebrity shag".

One man said, and laughed, "I would choose (a tv presenter with 8 kids) and if she was too loose in the fanny, Id stick it straight up her arse, hahahah, no harm done, hahahah."

The first porn that I was ever shown. I was 18 in college and one of the guys on the course showed me a porn clip on the computer. He said " look at this" so I didn't know what it was until I looked at it. It was a naked woman inserting a large metal kitchen instrument into her vagina. She was in pain. He laughed at me.

We have had too much disrespect of women in this country, for way too long. You all know this.

Times have to change

Well thats in the eye of the beholder I guess

Slapping balls would more likely do serious damage hence why I think it would be assault

Look if your into getting kneed in the balls and it turns you on work away....but it would do nothing for me...

I just think you are a troll now Sarah Dunners. It is actually very disrespectful, especially to victims of sexual crimes.

Have you ever walked in on women talking? You do know they enjoy sex too.

Depends,if he was slapping her arse then no.I would call it self defense.
Yes it should be classed as a sexual assault.

I don't feel disrespected by Sarah, whether she's trolling or not.

I think it'd be assault because the intent in kicking a man in the balls is to hurt them, whereas the intent in slapping a woman on the arse has sexual overtones to it. He wasn't trying to slap her on the back or shoulder as he claimed, the only way you hit the arse like that is if you're aiming for it, and he was doing so for his own pleasure or he thought it'd be funny. But ultimately slapping a woman on the arse is has enough sexual connotations to it that kicking a man in the balls doesn't.

Either way, he slapped a woman on the arse. He'll not get jail time, probably just a fine or a few hours community service or something. He did slap her on the arse though and he chose to do so, so the consequences are his bear regardless of what some people's opinion of the woman are.

Her(?) posts are far to antagonising to be genuine.
