I think the message would have been more clear if it was "grabby uncle billy"

It's better that it's aunt Patty. Women always think their hugs are welcome - they aren't!

Speak for yourself… I’m 100% green lit for hugs from strangers; an authentic hug can change the day

THAT IS THE POINT. You can say yes to hugs, they can say no to hugs. Consent is LITERALLY allowing everyone to speak for themselves.

I am speaking for myself! 🙄

And yes, a good hug can definitely change the day for the better - if it is welcome.
A hug can also ruin the day if it isn't.
