Zone1 Is it okay for a man to strike a woman back under these circumstances?

[Lisa558]

A woman? How would you know?

Good point. Maybe the guy didn’t know he was hitting a woman.

She looks like an imbecile, and sounds even worse.

As an actual leftist I'm insulted that someone that stupid is considered to be "intellectual" in the circles of leftwing political elites.

What that was, I think, was exhibitionism to promote black empowerment over whitey in a simulated real-world scenario.

So basically a social exercise.

I imagine that it was intended to be a means of a subliminal social setting type of activism but it was, in my view, a rather weak and transparent effort.

 

[Orangecat]

Both should keep their hands to themselves... She assaulted him...he assaulted her.

Agreed, and the initial assaulter should bear the legal consequences of the assault.

 

[Orangecat]

Then that could be OK.

While I generally agree with you, why would one party be allowed to escalate a situation with force, but the other not allowed to escalate the amount of force in response? A response of greater force would dissuade further violence.

 

[Orangecat]

Semantics.

You still do not treat them differently. If women want to be physically violent, they have to be able to accept resistance.

Eye for an eye?

I'm not a judge. For all of what my opinion is worth, anyone who engages in unprovoked aggression, violent or otherwise and not commissioned by the state to promote the interests of the workers faces whatever repercussions society tolerates. Silly family arguments and neighborhood brawls shouldn't even be in the scope of government concern.

It should be acceptable to hit a trans woman.

Careful, they'll touch you back.

Yeah, the man would have to restrain himself so as to match the power of the woman’s slap. But I think it’s OK, or else women will think that can slap a guy as hard as they want, and never face any repercussions.

I myself have never slapped anyway, nor have I ever been slapped. It appears that it packs quite a sting.

It doesn't tickle.
As I described in the OP, I was in a situation with a former girlfriend many years ago who began wailing on me.
Not one slap, but a battery of slaps.
I have always been proud the way I handled it, by just grabbing her and throwing her to the ground with a warning she heeded. This was after she grabbed the wheel of my car and tried to make the car go off the roads was well.
To say I was angry is an understatement. I was furious, but I held it. I controlled it, it didn't control me.

The guy gave her a little love tap.

I agree, except for the part where the state can freely engage in violence to promote the interests of the workers.

 

[Orangecat]

Why? And who's to judge the relative force? I'd say, if you strike someone first, they have every right to strike you back harder.

 

[Lisa558]

The guy gave her a little love tap.

He sent her halfway to the ground. He remained standing after he was slapped.

I think he hit back too hard. He would have had to match the slap. Didn’t look like it to me.

Yeah, but a man has a big physical advantage. How much harder is OK with you? What if he punched her with a closed fist and sent her completely to the ground? You don’t think that would be overdoing it?

She shouldn’t have hit him first.

We will always disagree on that.

Stalin took the state of Russia from a agrarian pre-industrial state to a powerhouse, and created the 2nd most powerful country on earth even after the Chinese began to undermine soviet doctrine. He had to break some eggs, but they would have all been eaten by now anyway wouldn't they?

Had Mao been a team player the Marxist Flag would be flown over every capitol city on earth.

I would have blocked her .....

She was too quick.
