EDIT: Sorry this doesn't seem to have appeared in threaded mode. I'm heading to the test/newbies area now to figure out why...

Damage doesn't have to be physical to exist.

True. Look I don't wish to play down the experience in any way. It's just that how we experience things is very subjective. For that reason and a number of others (provability in court for example)... I really cannot support physically attacking somebody based on mental pain/damage/insult.
Having said that... I'd probably break my own guidelines if pushed to hard. But I'd not definitely not see that as being justifiable in any rational sense.

If you were that close to a woman that you had to reach across her to get something, you were at fault for not taking precautions, such as saying "excuse me, can I get in here please?" or waiting.

In the case I am thinking of... I was not aware that the woman was there. I was reading or looking the other way. I think it was a case of her arriving and me not being aware of her presence. Seriously, this can happen. The reverse has occurred also. I've been touched/bumped in the crotch by a woman in cases that seemed entirely accidental.
Look I have caring days and uncaring days... but I'd not touch a strangers breasts without invitation. In fact, given an option and as a general rule, I don't touch any part of strangers without permission.
