Biden: No Man Has a Right to Touch a Woman Who Walks ‘Stark Naked’ to the Capitol David Rutz

BY: June 14, 2016 11:01 am

Vice President Joe Biden deployed some colorful imagery at the United State of Women Summit on Tuesday, saying even a woman who walked “stark naked” to the U.S. Capitol had no right to receive unwanted touches from a man.

Biden said the Violence Against Women Act, which he drafted as a U.S. senator, articulated the fundamental right of women to live their lives free of abuse.

“I remember when we did the act, when we were debating it, I said if a woman in this audience got up, stripped down, stark naked, and walked over to the United States Capitol, she has a right to be arrested for indecent exposure, but no man, even in that circumstance, has a right to touch her,” he said. “No man has a right to touch her! Period! Period! Period!

Also, no prosecutor has the right to paint a 12 year old rape victim as some sort of stalker of older men.....but that’s just what Hillary did.

In the case of a truly ugly one like Nancy Pelosi, they will at least throw a net over her.

Joe has Bill Clinton envy. He wishes he could have been the VP under Clinton and got his left overs.

“No Man Has a Right to Touch a Woman Who Walks ‘Stark Naked’ to the Capitol”

What if the man self identifies as a woman?

This is a deliberate miscasting of what is the issue: In the case of a woman (or man) that strips in public, no, that in itself is not consent to sex.

But, in the case of a woman (or man) who makes sexual advances, including body language, demeanor, dress (or undress), it is either consent or sexual harassment, especially if the sexual advances are made in private. (We’ll leave off to the side whether there is the demand for or offer of consideration, which would clarify consent, but would bring up other issues.)

In the old days, we had a bright line for consent; viz., a marriage certificate. We essentially had a refutable presumption that if there was sexual intercourse without a marriage certificate, the man was guilty of fraud in the inducement or else had raped the girl. (This is actually in the Bible.) Today, with free love and gender equality, we could be said to be exploring for what constitutes consent. But, the idea that women are presumed innocent is a remnant of old-fashioned thinking.

Didn’t I read somewhere that Joe liked to swim nude, while in the presence of female Secret Service agents?

So how this jive???

I guess the SS girls can’t even touch Joe, right?

“Period! Period! Period!”

Could all that emphasis be interpreted as Joe “just going with the flow?”

How are the police going to arrest her if she can’t be touched?

Duh, get a male officer who identifies as a female to do the pat-down and cuff-up.

I want to get a sense of where the boundaries are.

If she is also yelling, “touch me, look, I’m naked.” Then is it okay?

Joe?
