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

what "actively harms victims of sexual violence" is gatekeeping the definition of it, and normalising nonconsensual intimate physical acts. maybe spend some time researching the "real rape" myth, and its impact on reporting, investigation, and conviction rates.
