The “before pornhub” one really bothers me, because it seems to be implying that walking up to random women and assaulting them is something that should happen more.

    The kiss was forced and the woman had no say in the matter. They didn’t know each other and never even said a single word to each other, before or after.

    Even better? The sailor had a fiancé and was engaged… and decided sexually assaulting a random woman was a good choice. Really a stand up era.

      That’s so much worse eew. He was just so “caught up in the moment” that he sexually assaulted a random woman and probably pissed off his wife in the process. What are the chances that his wife didn’t see one of the most famous pictures of the 20th century??!

      Well the good news is that they’ve stopped using this image so much despite being so iconic.

      seriously? I thought they would have at least known each other. I had no idea she was just a random woman.

        Yep, apparently he just liked her Dental Assistants uniform since it reminded him of a nurses uniform. That was his only reasoning behind sexually assaulting a random woman on the street.
