About as dumb as your point that touching without consent is inherently wrong? The rules on touching and interacting with other people are entirely cultural. It's wrong to you, but why should anyone else go by what you think is appropriate? Hell, the appropriate level of touching is also based on your closeness to the subject, so simply saying "Clearly old man no-touchy, BAD!" is surface level assessment at best.
You referenced an anecdote from your time in the military as if that made your argument stronger, but the military is far from normal and damn well shouldn't be used as any kind of benchmark.
Inherently. If I tap you on the shoulder to get your attention, should I go to jail for assault or rape? You might want to try actually reading comments so you don't come off as such a smooth-brain, smug asshole.
Yeah, the military is the yard stick we should be using for normal human interactions...
