If we assume it's a boy asking a girl, since that's how it's being framed, I'd argue that it hurts both the boy and the girl.

It hurts the boy because he does not have to deal with getting his balls up and asking a girl to dance with those stupid cards where you write down, and if he does go to ask a girl on those cards or whatever, he doesn't have to deal with the risk of rejection, which is some real participation trophy shit to me.

It hurts the girl because she's being put in a position where she's being told she has to dance with boys she does not want to dance with, and that sets a precedent that she does not have the right to say no. Even if we assume that there is no touching at all, which is not exactly a given, then it's still a violation of consent, and it teaches the girls that they are supposed to just let boys do whatever they want because it's not nice to tell people no.

On a larger level, this whole "let's make shit inclusive" mentality is the same mentality that creates snowflakes who think we should let 11 million illegal immigrants just stay here.
