I find it odd that people don't believe this kind of stuff, or find it 'too over the top'. I have worked in restaurants and lumber yards with their fair share of awful stuff that gets said/done all the time.

I believe it is only a specific sort of person who doesn't believe it. Because you know we have people glorifying how great harassment and threats are:

Of all the gross stuff that's come out in this whole ordeal, I honestly dunno why you highlighted this part. This type of behaviour is not the same thing as being pinned down and raped.
The level of toxicity is important and I think that's why there is so much backlash against the Metoo movement. I would absolutely love if all I had to worry about in life was being catcalled and "hit on". It's important to distinguish that from real assault.

And trying to argue assault is cool

No. I believe that harassment in the workplace is something that needs to be taken seriously and combated, but that it's also a complex issue and that people seem to generalize it and treat it as a black-and-white issue when it really isn't.
Did the accused continue when the accuser let him know she wasn't okay with it, did she tell the accuser to stop, etc.
Also there are instances in which hitting on someone is appropriate, and when it isn't. People whom are attracted to one another hitting on each other is part of life. Context is important.
I guess one thing about the part you highlighted is that he "attempted" to kiss her, as in, she pulled away, so once he knew she didn't wanna be kissed, he stopped. From that wording it seems like he wasn't forcing it.
I just feel like this is different from crawling around cubicles and groping women and you're putting them on the same level for some reason.
