“To me it looks like he taps her on the knee as a personal gesture towards the conversation, she goes to put her hand on his but he removes it before she has a chance, she then reaches across to touch his hand to complete the action and he puts his hand back to let her do so. Seems like a bit of an awkward misunderstanding to be honest, I don't think she looks uncomfortable about being touched, more embarrassed at awkwardness of them misreading each other's moves.
It's a bit like when you are trying to move out of the way for someone and you both end up dancing about a bit.”
This is what happened. This. When I read silly threads like this discussing a non-issue, and a Daily Mail fucking article at that (HOW hypocritical?!), it makes me extremely angry on behalf of all those women who have genuinely been assaulted. There is NO comparison between this missed hand pat awkwardness and what has happened to all those other women, and it’s damaging and frankly insulting to suggest otherwise.
