Democratic Primaries
Related: About this forumKnew a kid who was suspended in high school...
He would sneak up behind girls and smell their hair. He did it a few times thinking it was funny. He was suspended for a week, and quickly grew out of it. He thought he was being a goofball but realized it was not cool. He was about 15 when he learned this.
You guys, this shouldn't be controversial... It was strange behavior then, it's strange behavior now. Nobody said anything about crime or assault, but it is, without a doubt, strange. Add a dynamic of a position of authority and it's even dicier.
That's all.

(37,748 posts)How is 'abnormal circumstance' relevant to the object (taking into account valency)?

(1,532 posts)The circumstance of a 15 year old boy randomly hugging girls is not the same as a political leader doing it to supporters, friends and colleagues in a public function.

(134 posts)Just saying smelling women's hair without their consent is strange. Apparently DU disagrees.

(15,720 posts)There were commercials for years modeling this very behavior. Even a shampoo called "Geeyourhairsmellsgreat". I can see it would be annoying by today's standards but a week's suspension, hard to believe.
