I don’t necessarily agree, David. There are men who are cuddly and women (and men and children and cats and dogs and….) know it. And then there are men who are kinda …. scary. Sexual harrassment is actually that: it’s sexual harrassment, not affection harrassment.

I think there are women who are a bit troubled (for want of a better word) who can’t necessarily tell the difference. But can’t you just sense which is which? Can’t you tell who would be warm and safe to be affectionate with?

7. Go too long without physical affection (even if it’s just cuddling my dog when I go home). You know how premature babies will die if no one touches them for long enough? I have that problem too (or, you know, something like it).

Yeah, you are clingy as all hell. I don’t think there exists a single picture of you and other people where you’re not all laid up on them. It’s ironic, you being a feminist and constantly engaging in the sort of overly-personal contact that would bring a man regular accusations of sexual harassment or worse. Female privilege, Exhibit A.
