Rape is a crime, men being gentlemanly is not

Wait a second. Let's be a little more specific as to what are these "boy-ish" and "female behaviorial characteristics". If for example, all boys like pulling girls' hair, that will make this behavior "boyish", but it doesn't mean such behavior shouldn't be suppressed.

Manners and politeness, charms and knowing how to behave, humour and this certain kind of delicious tension, knowing the difference between flirting and inappropriate aggression - that is what it is about. And that cannot be taught by laws.

While I don't like the way the criminal law is proceeding on the subject of rape, the question is what to do about "inappropriate aggression". I agree with the Manifesto to an extent, that "touching a woman's knee" (I assume with Absicht) for example should not be a "crime", but neither is it non-punishable behavior or lacking of unwert.

Punishment used to be a slap in the face or a heel dug in your foot. Seemed to work pretty good.

Or a knee kick in youknowwhere. Saw it once live being applied to an offender, I had a good laugh. He squirmed like a worm.

Nutcracker diplomacy.

But wait, there are those who say that violence is never an option and if you act with violence in self defence, then "you are no better than the aggressor"... Getting physically robust is never an answer, you know.

Well. It has saved me my life at least twice.
