You should join Luis Rubiales' defense 🤷‍♂️

Calling this sexual assault doesn't help anyone, and actively harms victims of actual sexual violence.

How so? This kind of argument doesn't make sense to me - robbing a house is robbery, robbing a bank is still robbery. Unaliving an individual with a knife is murder, and unaliving an invididual by dangerous driving is still murder.

Each crime is looked at on a case by case basis in an ideal scenario - having the definition of one thing the same as another can not inherently harm victims affected by a higher severity of an identically named crime IMO
