""fleetingly" touching her knee "
So?
Are there degrees of sexual harassment in your book just as there are degrees of atrocities and crimes against humanity?
I suppose there are really

I don't know Keith's opinion, but I would think there must be 'degrees' in such matters.
Whether the fleeting touch of the knee would classify as 'sexual harrassment' I don't know. But it is certainly less serious than grabbing a woman by the bust, which, in turn, is less serious than forced rape.

Do you, Jim, feel each of those three things are of the same degree? And do you think that they are all equally totally abhorrent? And should someone found guilty of any one of them receive the same sentence?
If you do feel that they are all of the same degree, then once having touched a knee, a man may as well go ahead and commit rape. You say they're all equivalent anyway.
