      People aren't laughing because a genuine medical mistake happened are they? They are laughing at the thought of someone they don't like having something stuck up their bum and being uncomfortable with it.

        Still not sexual assault though is it? It's laughing at someone you dislike going through a medical procedure that they didn't need by mistake.

        None of that implies assault or anything non-consensual occurring.

          At the end of the day it is not for us to decide if it was or was not sexual assult. It is up to the victims to decide. As a gay man I view my bum as very sexual organ and if it had happened to me I would view it as sexual assault. If you don't that's fine but I think you are the one undermining sexual assault to say these circumstances could not be viewed as sexual assault.

              It's not the actual experience I have a problem with. I am sure it was fine and no one really cares as this is clearly anti china propaganda. My problem is that this has been framed in the headline as though the act was done through deception. Now most of us I'm sure didn't read beyond the headline and that is what we are responding to. And to laugh at that is gross. I don't think china is actually sexually assaulting diplomats. I do think if this situation were to happen and it was actually done through deception it would be sexual assault.
