I don't understand why you are complaining.

Respect their space?! Either of those chicks could give their left ovary for him to touch them, and you know it.

LOL, both all sexy and up on him oh, yeah they don't want him to touch them, they want their space

And no, I don't think he's a victim either. Maybe he's just got more important things to touch then every groupie or whoever that comes up and wants a picture with him, I don't know. Maybe he is afraid of lawsuits I have no idea. But one thing I do know is that both of those girls wanted him to touch them.

@SeaMeNebraska I don't need to read minds. All I have to do is look at the picture.

Kaneau Reeves is doing the right thing. You may think that all men are out to touch you but some of us have other things to do.

@St-Sinner Awesome . I'm very relieved "some of us" have other things to do?
But. Never has it crossed my mind how "all men are out to touch" me. Not even remotely close to my point. I just explained how it's possible some dislike touching strangers. Maybe, just maybe. He isn't being "too careful" but simply, I'm throwing out there how it's a possibility, a lack of touching others is due to NOT enjoying it. Sooo I will go ahead and assume we completely agree with each other

The thing about unwanted touching is, no woman who actually wanted to be touched turns around and then claims the opposite out of spite or for profit. It’s too big a hassle to take a high profile person to court and it usually gains the woman nothing but vitriol and hatred, death threats etc from his fans. The only time I could see that kind of mood swing is if you actually dated a while and even then, pretty impossible to get convicted for previously touching a girlfriend and if she’s that psycho the guy made her that way 99% of the time. People don’t just go around asking celebrities for hugs to sue them.

I don't think anyone said he is. I totally disagree with the full coverage of women in some cultures and religions but is the dress of the two women appropriate for the occasion. It would be difficult for him not to touch bare flesh which they may not like ?.

@Moravian
The title of the post is: A Victim of the Mee2 Fear

@Sydland OK, sorry I missed that. I agree with you. He aint no victim

@Shawappa44820 Yes that is what I am saying. How often do you see men putting their hands around other mens hips? Men do touch other men (shaking hands, hand on shoulder etc) but in a pose such as this one, (with women and if there is touching involved) you usually find the mens hands placed on the womens waist, hips and or worse. I hope this makes sense. Like I said this one of those subtle nuances that people either get or make fun of. Why does he have to touch them at all? Just stand (as they would with 3 men) side by side. Why is anything else required?

@Shawappa44820 I get the whole short thing lol. In my next life I am coming back as a 6' male! I agree with you that there is no ill intent meant by most. But these norms have never been allowed to be questioned without being branded as a hysterical woman, bitch or as just a woman who has no sense of humor. Just to remind you that I am in my 60's and these norms and much worse, have been in place my whole life, so I think as opposed to someone younger I tend to see them differently. IMO anyway. I never got the impression that you were arguing by the way and I also have to say that I do appreciate you asking.

@josh_is_exciting and i guess you will continue missing out if you don't change your POV

@josh_is_exciting read your first sentence repeatedly until it sinks in. You don’t have the right to put your hands on a woman without her express consent. You don’t get to decide she can be touched. Only she can has that right.

@josh_is_exciting Yep, it's obvious that you don't get it, listen to FreethoughtKaty.

@josh_is_exciting and you are not? figures.

@josh_is_exciting denial too, brilliant!

@josh_is_exciting right, like "huh" is a great articulated response, so if I am just saying soundbites, why do you keep answering with increasing annoyance, touchy touchy???

@josh_is_exciting there are a whole lot of “customary” behaviors that take advantage of or outright abuse women (and children). Imagine casually touching men the way you want to casually touch women. I’m not saying I’d be upset or even bothered if a man put his arm around me for a picture. The point is, whether or not that scenario happens is my own decision, not his. A man has no inherent right to touch a woman.

@josh_is_exciting lmao yeah woman have it so great, especially in the business world. It sucks bein a dude. Poor us.

@josh_is_exciting "I miss out on a lot of dating opportunities because I'm overly careful about offending." Yeah, I'm pretty sure you miss out on those opportunities because you are a giant DICK.

@josh_is_exciting is it really unreasonable that men not touch women without knowing whether they want to be touched?

That’s an infantile interpretation when he’s probably just thinking, “it’s more respectful not to presume I’ve got an invitation to put my hands on women”

Good god I hope you are being facetious

@A2Jennifer Only partially because there is some truth to it. Why do you think Keanu is being so hands off? He knows either of those ladies could say "I felt violated by his unwelcome touch." at any time and he'd be in for a shitstorm so he's showing everyone where his hands are so he can't get burned.
