Didn’t mean to sound like I was picking on you about “daughter of rape.” During many years with the pro-life movement, I’ve read a lot of personal accounts by people who were conceived by rape, and it’s not a term I’ve ever seen them use.

I see what you’re saying with the California penal codes. I think the confusion comes from “a part of a hand touching genitalia or through underwear, without penetration” - I was thinking of stuff like a man touching a woman’s labia majora, not right outside her vagina.

Technically, a wedgie with pants on would be covered and whoever could be put away for 15 years. Technically, the horsing around among girls at gymnastics gyms would be covered for sure.
