assault
We’re calling intimidation/harassment assault now? That’s fragile.
Comment on Simpler times?

Assault as opposed to battery.

Well, yes. Sexual assault is a catch all.

“Assault” varies in definition by jurisdiction and circumstance. Pulling a conversation about sexual assault into the weeds is, frankly, a strange move, but go on with your bait.

Iceland probably has the best track record. Their culture, size, location, etc just add up to make a country where workers rights, freedom of speech and equality is very good.

Plus with almost everyone being related, men don’t have to play that “imagine it was your sister or daughter” game to generate empathy for women. /s

I mean, they do have that app specifically to check for relation. I can imagine there are some fun games that can be played while you’re out at a party. “Hey, dude, check out that dude over there. Bet you I can get his number.”
“You’re on, and I’ll bet he’s within four degrees of cosanguinity.”

Yeah thats why i also listed size. It really is a unique country that maybe more places should take notes from… but its hard to implement something similar because their history and location also causes this situation.
