Let's just say he's lucky to be far away behind some keyboard.

Eh he aint worth it to be honest. Thankfully culture turned more towards condemning that sort of behaviour. I hear a lot from women of his generation who had to put up with that outdated attitude of approving of inappropriate touches.
But you had to be in the so-called "in" crowd in order to get away with those things. In the workplace it was usually just the bosses and maybe next in line. The rank and file didn't get away with it anymore btjan one would today. I can recall being jealous of being able to give a female co-worker a back rub, for example. The harder stuff, wouldn't even try it. We have been clearly in the "time to refrain from embracing' (Turn, Turn,Turn) since I would say the mid-1980s.

However, if ACW2 does break out, we will have much bigger fish to fry than to worry whether some guy gives a co-worker a back rub.
Which makes it all the more interesting as to why Eric was literally defending a person who was feeling up kinsers partner and condemned his actions for punching the person who did not listen to being told NO.

I did not hear that it was his partner. I had the impression it was someone he saw from across the room in a crowd, not even knowing what was going on between the two. In this case it would be more like jealousy, or someone defending his partner from someone intruding on his relationship in a bad way. But violence is not legal any more than sexual assault is legal. Violence is often more harmful, in fact.
