Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) President Luis Rubiales has admitted he “made a mistake” by giving Spain star Jennifer Hermoso a surprise kiss on the lips after the 33-year-old received her gold medal following the team’s Women’s World Cup final victory over England on Sunday.
Rubiales has faced widespread criticism for the incident, with politicians and journalists labeling his behavior “unacceptable” and “simply disgusting.”
Let’s break it down
Is it a fact that it was a kiss? Yes
Is it a fact that it was a surprise (to her)? Yes
I’m not denying this is sexual assault but there is a difference between a fact and a judgment.

You seem to be under the erronious assumption that any man is allowed to give any woman a kiss whenever he wants to. You are wrong.
If you’d like to know how wrong you are, come try and kiss me on live tv without my permission and see what happens.
I have never said that and you are reading what you want to read from my comment.
The FACT that the kiss was given without consent makes it a sexual assault. But still, it’s a surprise kiss and that’s a fact.
I wasn’t trying to say more than that so maybe tone it down.
I’m probably a better feminist than you are. That is not a fact, that’s a judgement
