How does this sound like "sexual harassment?" nytimes.com/2021/03/01/nyr… Scene: a wedding. Not the workplace. Traditionally, a place where single men and women meet and flirt. The governor puts his hand *on the back* of a 33-year-old woman. Not a child.
He *asks* "Can I kiss you." Isn't that what men are supposed to do nowadays? Ask for permission before even going in for a kiss? (I think that's dumb in itself, but hell--he did it entirely by the new rules, right?)
How does this response make any sense? Why would any normal 33-year-old woman be "confused and shocked and embarrassed" because a guy who was "working the room and toasting the newlyweds" at a wedding asked, "Can I kiss you?" 
In a world bursting with sin and sorrow, why on earth is this non-story of entirely normal human behavior on the front page of The New York Times? Or is this no longer considered "normal human behavior?"
We now--seriously--think think this is scandalous?
We now--seriously--think think this is scandalous?
There's a word for this, and it isn't "progress." This is just wild puritanism, reborn. Soon we'll be putting the little skirts on the piano legs again.
