Louis Walsh gropes Mel B on TV

He is not flirting in any way so your question defeats the point. Sexual touching can be part of flirting. I wouldn't do it off the cuff but if I was starting to get intimate with someone then yes. Would I go round in a bar and pinch a girls bum? Never ever. If I was on a date and it was getting heated then may be my hand would slide down a little further to see how she reacts. It's how people flirt. Last night I literally had 2 women want to stroke my beard and feel my arms. Although they were drunk and it kind of annoyed me, I know it was in good spirits and I told them politely I'm not interested. I wasn't sexually assaulted. There is a fine line between the two. Even if someone doesn't want to be touched it's not definitely sexual assault. Mel didn't want her bum tapped. Louis was an idiot for doing it and got shown up. He was out of line but it's not sexual assault. Not everything is so black and white. I get there are horrendous amounts of cat calling, sexual bullying, sexual assaults on workplace etc and for women it must be horrendous. But not every inappropriate touch or word is an assault or a harassment.
