And he says, You're just complaining because I don't take it even farther.
And suddenly you end up feeling kinda trashy and dirty and you're pretty sure you didn't do anything wrong to begin with, but it seems like it's a better idea to just let the whole thing go than make a huge stinking deal about what was really just an ass grab. But you're pretty sure you were right in the first place. And why is no one backing you up?

I've not seen anything anywhere to suggest that this would be considered 'sexual assault' (even barring Dee's definition) in anywhere I looked.
Harassment, sure - and bad, sure. But for the life of me I can't get how this relates to 'men get treated better on GC' or 'men always blame the victim on GC.'

ETA: Dani I thought of your thread, but it sort of degenerated quickly into an age debate (which is cool, it was a good thread) - I figured I'd be more blunt about this one, since we've had an outcropping of thinly veiled comments recently.
