It doesn't matter whether it was in a condescending manner or in a sexual manner, the manager doesn't have a right to touch an employee in any way that makes the employee uncomfortable.
I disagree that IronQueen would simply lose her job because of filing a complaint. More and more companies nowadays are being far more proactive about sexual harrassment complaints. IronQueen should not have to feel afraid to step up and say something. And if she does lose her job because of filing a complaint, then she's got grounds for a lawsuit. And most employers know that.
