It's really simple my friend. Imagine this happens to your daughter/wife/girlfriend/mom. Then come back here and help us rationalize whether or not it was an assault.

Generally, getting emotions involved is not the way to decide upon proper punishment for a crime.

This is textbook assault, though.

Agreed, but the OP was in fact arguing that this does not constitute assault.
