The article’s headline was already written to take a side in the dispute. My take?
- the older woman should not have touched the younger woman’s skirt
- not everyone wants to see p**** and ass cheeks while dining in a restaurant.
- the public sphere belongs to all. It’s not your private bedroom or bathroom.
- skirts can be hiked up. Pulling one lower on the waist doesn’t expose more.
- a sexual assault charge is very serious. Should have resolved without police.
America is becoming more degenerate every day. This reminds me of the young woman who was kicked off a flight for wearing too short a skirt. Sadly, some FReepers only wanted to know how “hot” the lady was so as to determine guilt or innocence. It’s a sad commentary on our culture when an older woman who was trying to maintain some minimal standard of public decorum (but went too far), is the one being so roundly condemned.
Sorry (not sorry), but some people don’t want to see your p**** while trying to eat their dinner. Want to see that kind of attire? Go to a (not so) gentleman’s club.
I do not disagree. Only wish we could know if the girl was truly exposing what the woman accused her of or not.
It's up to the restaurant to police the customers.
Well....I found this in another article from the local paper in Utah. Much different story from the girl and her group of friends than the older woman told.
She told police “she felt cold hands go up her skirt, touching her buttocks before she felt her skirt being pulled on.”
“(The victim) and seven other witnesses came forward and all filled out witness statements that were consistent with (the victim) being approached and touched by Ida,” reads the affidavit. The woman also said she was wearing underpants and shorts over the underpants under her skirt.
Thank you.
Good post!
