The unwanted touching in this case was a woman who said Biden had penetrated her with his fingers.

And then later she was probated again for saying that it wasn't sexual assault

That quote doesn't support your assertion, but

I've posted what has largely been agreed upon by the people who posted in both threads, and in one case by the moderation staff that Pick has said that something that was sexual assault, wasn't.

Whether you believe it, or your personal opinion agrees with her, or you find her personally likeable and you're able to look past those things in largely irrelevant. I do not want to debate this, you either believe that being penetrated by fingers is inappropriate touching, not assault like Pick had said, or you do not, like the rest of the thread had said. It's not really up to you to decide one way or the other, the problem has largely been settled by everyone and re-litigating it by going "Nuh UH That's not what happened weirdo!" is not going to change that fact.

I am sorry you can not see what others have seen in her posts, so it must seem weird and alien to you. The thing is many people feel strongly about making sure that we do not give rapists excuses, we don't try to litigate what is "light" versus "heavy" rape. Rape apologia is rape apologia no matter how much you may like or dislike a poster.

So do you and your posting buddies know you're lying and not care? Or have you genuinely worked yourself into a state of righteous illiteracy such that you can't understand the difference between, " I don't think this woman was digitally penetrated" and, "digital penetration is inappropriate touching?"

I am not part of a secret cabal that complains about Pick, the onyl thing I ever bring up is this one post that offended me personally, because I was sexually assaulted in that same way, and she said it didn't count.

Or the time she defended domestic abuse as a completely normal thing to do

Pick posted:

I honestly don’t think one slap is that big of a deal, whether it’s a guy slapping woman or a woman slapping a guy, life is loving hard and terrible. If that’s the worst thing that ever happened in your marriage, that is pretty phenomenal. Where the gently caress did people’s standards come from.

It also makes me wonder if people feel the same way about those videos where somebody pranks the other partner or whatever and the partner and frustration slaps the other one or whatever. Like the one where the guy pretends that he accidentally dropped the toddler off of the balcony.

I really feel like a lot of people who post here have never really been that frustrated or that passionate about anything really that involved. The absolutism is incredible. Particularly it makes me wonder if any of these people of been parents, kids are one of those things it’s really easy to be virtue signally about until you have one.

Not to mention absolutism is a great way to hand a tool to manipulative people. There are definitely men and women who try to goad their partners into taking actions that now socially guarantee that they can be "the afflicted". Abuse discourse is really garbage these days.

I went back and tried to find some context of the post. It seems to start here, when this was posted by Endorph.


I will note, because this is important, the text of the article wasn't posted anywhere that I have seen, only the headline.

I'll post the text of the article here because it's relevant.

Kamala Harris On Joe Biden Accusers: ‘I Believe Them’
The presidential hopeful weighed in on the recent allegations of inappropriate touching against the former vice president.

Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) said she believes the women who have come forward alleging that former Vice President Joe Biden touched them without their consent.

“I believe them, and I respect them being able to tell their story and having the courage to do it,” Harris told reporters at a presidential campaign stop in Nevada on Tuesday.

Biden, who is expected to announce a 2020 presidential bid soon, has been accused of inappropriately touching or kissing four women. All of them said his behavior was inappropriate and made them uncomfortable.

Asked whether Biden should still run for president, Harris responded that it was up to him. “He’s going to have to make that decision for himself. I wouldn’t tell him what to do,” she said.

Fellow presidential candidate former Rep. Beto O’Rourke (D-Texas) chimed in on the allegations against Biden during a press conference with reporters on Wednesday morning.

“I think we need to listen to those who are raising their stories, who have the courage to come forward to share their experience,” O’Rourke told reporters in New York.

Biden addressed the accusations in a video posted to Twitter on Wednesday afternoon.

“I shake hands, I hug people, I grab men and women by the shoulders and say you can do this. Whether they’re women, men, young, old, it’s the way I’ve always been. It’s the way I’ve tried to show I care about them and listen,” he said.

“I hear what they’re saying. I understand it,” he continued. “And I’ll be much more mindful. That’s my responsibility. That’s my responsibility, and I’ll meet it.”

The former vice president initially responded to the allegations in a statement published over the weekend.

“In my many years on the campaign trail and in public life, I have offered countless handshakes, hugs, expressions of affection, support and comfort. And not once — never — did I believe I acted inappropriately,” he said. “If it is suggested I did so, I will listen respectfully. But it was never my intention.”

Tara Reade and digital penetration are not mentioned in this particular article.

Pick responds here:

Pick posted:

[quoting Endorph and the tweet]
I thought this was good, this is bad now?

Endorph responds.

Endorph posted:

i think agreeing to be vp for a man you think sexually assaults women, is bad

either she never actually believed them and was only saying it to score points on biden (which is bad) or shes willing to work with someone she thinks is a rapist to get political power (which is bad)

Pick posted:

Sounds to me like she agreed with The idea that he had to learn modern standards for touching, which even he admitted to. It's just amusing to me that There really doesn't seem to be a very coherent message about what is good or bad other than exactly how that story can be employed in a very specific context.

Jewel Repetition posted:

No, idiot. It's funny that she's running on a ticket with someone she's gone on record saying is a sexual assaulter.

Unwanted touching is not sexual assault. It's actually one of the reasons why I, as a woman, would like to see some of the older and more clear terminology employed. Biden himself admitted that his standards for personal space and touching needed to change, but that is not the same as saying her saying that he is guilty of or admitted guilt for rape.

Endorph posted:

the older and more clear terminology that makes sexual assault okay (also unwanted touching is sexual assault)

Whether unwanted touching is sexual assault depends on where it occurs, and I've heard of Biden touching a pretty bad place.

Nucleic Acids posted:

No, I’d say it is.
Some guy touching my hair is obnoxious but it's not rape. The only reason to try to equate those things is to manipulate the experiences of women for personal political ends. No woman who has experience both would say that they are the same.

i would call one sexual assault if it is done with obvious sexual interest (and have you seen some of the looks biden is giving those ladies jesus), and the other rape. i am a woman who has experienced both. wanna try again champ or do rape victims only count if they agree with you about definitions

Shut the gently caress up Pick, penetrating someone with their fingers is rape, the man who did it to me went to jail for rape.

(Note: Pick at no point was referring to digital penetration in this discussion that I have been able to find.)

Because one of the accusers against Joe Biden said that is what he did to her.

Edit: Notably for the argument at hand, that accusation came months after the "I believe them" quote wherein Harris said she believed women who had accused Joe Biden of "inappropriate physical contact" or whatever. The two people ITT are arguing past one another.

The unwanted touching she was talking about was Tara Reade saying she was physically penetrated??? That was what was in the news at the time, that's what the thread was talking about.

She's saying that she doesn't think Reade was physically penetrated, and the Biden didn't admit to penetrating her. You could have gone after her for not believing Reade, which is bad and has the benefit of being true. But you (for some reason) made up something worse. So again, did you know you were lying? Or do you genuinely not understand the difference?

I seriously don't see what you guys are talking about, it was common knowledge at the time that Tara Reade was saying she was penetrated? To say that's only inappropriate touching is awful.

E: To be honest, I seriously regret posting anything about it, I shouldn't have brought it up because it's clear that you all and I are pulling completely different things from that set of posts, and reaching entirely different conclusions. I shouldn't have said anything because I find this line of conversation triggering, and it's 100% my fault for bringing it up in the first place for trying to talk about something triggering without knowing if I could handle it or not. With the context you have posted it's clear what she was saying, which is that Joe Biden did not rape Tara Reade, because digital penetration is tantamount to inappropriate touching.
