I quoted the people I most vehemently disagreed with so I'm not sure who this everyone is.
But to clarify my position, saying he's handsy with "everyone" ignores the problem and secondly, there are a decent amount of people who are cool with Biden's level of feels.
If you agree with me, I'm not sure why you're being equal parts combative and dismissive.

I agree that some of the photos of Joe show him with women/girls being VERY uncomfortable with the way he's touching them.
Others, they don't seem uncomfortable at all... they actually seem to be inviting / participating in it, WHICH MAKES IT OKAY. For that person. That one time.
Everybody keeps saying, "oh, what if there was ::insert some Republican here:: who did that? How would you react?"
But there was... (and I kinda hate to say it, but I remember talking about this, but my google-fu isn't up to snuff and I can't find the thread)... this:
She was clearly uncomfortable with it. She also clearly told him to get stuffed.
...to the extent that Joe's behavior DOES make PEOPLE (some people, not just women) uncomfortable, he needs to change it. But that doesn't mean he can never show affection to anybody ever again.

i have serious personal space issues to the point that i snap at Jack when he randomly touches my stomach. i don't think it would go over well with me if he was nuzzling me if we met.
that said, i could really use a VP shoulder rub about now.
