Me too

One could argue that his assumption that it's okay for him to routinely invade other people's physical space is the product of his gender and status.   And that his gender/status meant that people were afraid to ask him to stop.   Finally, that he seems to see these acts as paternal rather than sexual doesn't really make it all that much better, from my POV.  

From what little I know about this, that was the takeaway I had. Doing things like kissing a woman's head is more paternal than sexual, but it's still super creepy and off putting. One doesn't have to be doing sexual stuff to make people uncomfortable.

Well, there are a ton of pictures of him hugging males. Yes, I haven't seen one of him kissing a man slowly on the head (she said slowly, which implies tenderness, not long, which implies more of a sexual thing), but he hugs men and grabs them by the shoulders and gives them a gentle shake....

Personally, I am not at all touchy feely. But I don't think it's right to force other people to abandon all physical contact. Because with this type scrutiny, you will end up with a society where people can't act naturally around each other anymore and are even more alienated from each other than they are already.

I think we need to allow people's individual personalities, but speak up when we don't like something. I have been in families where everyone hugged and kissed all the time. It's natural for them. My family never did any of it. Maybe I am the one who is missing something that would be a good thing? I don't get any comfort from it, should I prevent others from being able to obtain that comfort?
