Coming Soon: If You Have Penis, You're Guilty
The expansion of what is considered sexual assault on campus has ensnared a 20-year-old autistic student -- after a case of mistaken identity led to a truly benign interaction.
Hans Bader writes at Minding The Campus:
Brian Ferguson, a 20-year-old autistic student, has been suspended from special-needs classes at Navarro College in Texas for mistakenly hugging a woman he did not know and kissing her on the top of her head, according to the student's mother, Staci Martin. She said, "And then they labeled it 'sexual assault' because of the kissing," Martin said. "They said a kiss is considered an assault."This is an interesting potential case that illustrates how the ever-expanding definition of "sexual assault" on some college campuses apparently reaches well-meaning conduct that is not sexually-motivated at all and does not even involve intimate areas of the body, much less sex. (It may also pit broad college policies designed to comply with the Obama administration's interpretation of Title IX against broad duties to accommodate disabled students under the Rehabilitation Act and Americans with Disabilities Act).
This sort of application also is a logical argument against broad "affirmative consent" rules that require advance permission for not just sex, but also ordinary touching and kissing, and classify any failure to obtain advance permission as "sexual assault" (even if it was not against the will of the complainant at the time it occurred). "Affirmative consent" activists now want to extend such rules micromanaging commonplace interactions into the nation's Kindergartens to cover even non-sexual contact. Sexual assault policies and laws should protect people from violence and unwanted intimate invasions, not relatively harmless activities that simply lack advance authorization.
Let's be clear: These laws are about power, not protecting from harm.
Simple enough, hit on her in a bar, without touching her and when she touches you without asking first file charges against her

I'm waiting for a transsexual person somewhere to get charged under these codes, and tie the whole thing in a Gordian knot. Does it matter which direction the tranny is going, and if they are pre- or post-op?

For the purposes of this example gender is what the person feel themselves to be, ie a pre op trans woman is a biological male

The funny thing is, from what I've seen, the current crop of PM feminists are very hostile to transsexuals. Male-to-females are regarded as party crashers, and female-to-males are called gender traitors.

One thing that wasn't clear to me was the reaction of the woman Brian Ferguson hugged. According to the NBCDFW story, she was unidentified and could not be reached for comment. Was she terrified? Was she outraged? Does it make any difference whether she was or not?

Thank god this tidal wave of autistic students hugging strangers will finally end.
Fill the prisons with the autistic and save the educated wymyn from these micro, macro, and super-sized aggressions.

What sort of god-awful witch would press charges??? Or is some asshat beaurocrat pressing charges for her? They all need to be burned at the stake. That's the only way to remove this idiocy from the world, and the gene pool.

It turns out the the school district did this all by itself and the girl was left out of it. She learned about the suspension from the news and she is trying to get him back into the school.

Who was the complaining witness then?
More likely she saw the backlash and is now pleading ignorance of the whole mess

"Who was the complaining witness then?"
Probably someone who saw the incident and decided to make a crusade out of it. In my observation, these are the ones that are prosecuted most virulently: a third-party complaintant, who preens about "helping the helpless" and gets an enormous ego boost from the process.
