Interesting question. I was saying that I have not reported the times I have been flashed at or groped but dealt with it myself. Should I have? Should we all report minor assaults? https://twitter.com/OlGingerBastard/status/956500407752241152 …

This is reactive, not preventative. Punishment for rape doesn't erase the crime or the effect on the victim. Early detection of potential offenders and prosecution (and rehabilitation) could and should prevent serious offences later.

Not talking about rape, ffs! Talking about clumsy flirting and awkward approaches and lewd comments and not taking hints. You won't detect potential offenders by arresting adolescents who are learning how to play the game.

Well, we were talking about sexual assault, not clumsy flirting or awkward approaches. We specifically got on to the subject by 'putting hands up skirts'

We were, yes, but I was responding to Silvio's comment about milder harassment which never escalates to assault which I termed 'overstepping boundaries.'
