I know a woman who hugs without asking all the time.

In fact, even the first time I met her, she turned down a handshake, saying "I don't do handshakes, I do hugs".

She acts like bestowing a hug on people is a gift. She doesn't seem to care if it is wanted or not. Is she "taking" a hug because she enjoys it, or is she "bestowing a hug" because she thinks it is desirable to receive her hug.

Lots of women think seem to assume that their physical contact is some kind of prize to be doled out.

They often do not ask for permission. I was reminded of this when I read the post about the WW2 photo.

I suppose someone will tell me it does not matter if they force this kind of unwanted physical touching because there is no threat of physical force as is the case when a man does it. This may or may not be true, but I think the idea that women tend, more then me, to think they are offering a desirable gift is suggestive as the difference and one of the problems inherent in the male-female power dynamic.
