What he said was that groping and rape should not be conflated, he did not categorically say that groping should be "condemned" Â or that it was "terrible" - not according to this quote anyway.
"I do believe that thereâs a spectrum of behaviour,â he said. âAnd weâre going to have to figure â you know, thereâs a difference between, you know, patting someone on the butt and rape or child molestation, right?

Again, no woman in her right mind is going to conflate rape and groping.
No woman needs Damon to explain that there's a difference.
Saying that they should not be conflated is his backhanded way of lessening the seriousness of serial groping, sure it's not rape so don't get so get up about it girls.
I'm going to keep repeating this in relation to the relative seriousness of groping as it appears that it is being ignored in your exchanges.
"When people talk about a sliding scale consider that the acts that are being classified all involve the infliction of physical or emotional pain, most times both, these acts then provoke feelings of fear, hurt, humiliation, shame, doubt, revulsion and loathing in the person on the receiving end."
