It was a reflex, is his defense.

His belief that women's bodies are, at a baseline, presumed property, was a reflex.

The defense accuses itself.
He's right, too. It *is* reflex. We live in a culture where some people are presumed property and others are allowed and encouraged to presume themselves owners.

Once you see it, you see it everywhere, like filling pulsing up from the lattice of a demonic pie.
The existing dominant cultural narrative is one of presumed ownership, which is so pervasive many have learned the trick of arranging their eyes to not see it.

There's a emerging narrative that people aren't property. Notice: many find this emerging narrative dangerous.
To be clear: He's lying. He thought his ownership was so complete he could grab an ass while on TV, and there are plenty of people out there for whom the danger is not his actions against her, but that he should suffer even momentary criticism for it.
On most levels, the dominant cultural narrative supports empowered abuse.

Emerging competing narratives that speak against the abuse *are* dangerous ... if you align with the abuse, either as beneficiary or enabler.

We're going to brave the danger of ending a culture of abuse.
