I didn't expect an earnest answer. Simply to continue to hide behind jargon.

There is nothing inconsistent in the scenarios (what you call false equivalency). So let me pull the tooth that is too hard for you to extract on your own:

You felt compelled to stand (insert forced) because of expectations. You had other options such as sitting, going to the concession stand, going to the bathroom, ect...But in your mind you felt you were forced to stand.

This intern was trying to do her job (much more severe than your social outing) and she was tasked with stopping Acosta from continuing to filibuster. She reached for the mic twice and he refused to surrender it, so she grabbed the mic and he brushed away her arm. She felt she had to remove him from the mic.
