Long before I was a lawyer, I was talking women into fucking dudes they didn't want to fuck just because I asked. And they'd come away thinking it was their idea in the first place. I understand people, especially women, very well. It's why I am a good lawyer. I know the law but, more importantly, I know what the parties will respond to.
Battery is an unwanted touching. Period. Unwanted. Why bring up the legal stuff if you're not going to pay attention to the details. If she didn't want the touching, it's battery. That doesn't mean she's going to press criminal charges every time. It's not worth it. But that doesn't change the definition of the crime. THe only thing in flux is how she feels about enforcement.
What you have been repeatedly doing is saying "Because some people do something, it doesn't meet the definition of a bad act." But that's not how it works. People do bad acts and hope that there are no consequences. There are 2 types of people in the world, imo. People who do bad things and acknowledge that they're bad things and do them anyway. And people who do bad things and try to convince themselves those things aren't bad.
Here are rules. Tell me which ones shouldn't be there:
1) Don't touch people if they don't want to be touched.
2) Don't introduce sexuality into the work environment.
3) Keep your professional dealings strictly professional.
There's no point on the back and forth, if we can't get the rules straight.
