This is a classic illustration-based question. Section 350 defines criminal force as intentional use of force without consent causing injury, fear, or annoyance. Pulling a veil is applying force; it was intentional, without consent, and intended to annoy — all elements of criminal force are met.

The text reads: Section 350 Illustration (f): Intentionally pulling up a woman's veil = criminal force (intentional use of force without consent to cause annoyance).
