...I agree about the media focus on this, the way his size is being referred to because the level of aggression is equally relevant ...she may be physically much smaller than him but she looks as though she's 'lost control' with her anger and aggression...which makes her very capable of hurting him ...someone made a omment in the vid that he could have walked away...which he could have..but she had already used a 'weapon' to hit him and had asked for something more dangerous...so if he turned his back to wal away, he could have been hit by the scooter or whatever it was that she asked for....his control seemed to be there through it all...which I think is quite admirable....even after being physically attacked the first time by someone who was obviously beyond any reasoning...he still tried to 'ward off' and de-mobilise, rather than attack...ok, maybe sweeping her feet away wasn't the best thought out thing...but who of us would always think of 'the best thought out thing', wwhen faced with an out of control person who is intent on physically hurting us....I think tht he tried his best to not use physical force, to not use 'his burly weight' as the media described but just to lay her on the ground where she wouldn't be a threat...I doubt that there are many people who would have done that..so I think a big focus should be how fortunate she was as well, that it was him and not someone else who she lost control with....


...anyways, her poor children..that's how beyond reason she was, that her only focus was to physically harm the guy....

Violence is wrong in all forms, however I do understand that if someone hits you for no reason, you're likely to want to do it back. I don't think gender plays a role in this really, so long as proportionate force is used (if someone slapped you in the face it obviously wouldn't be reasonable to stamp on their neck for example lol), then I don't really blame the guy. Just don't start fights with anyone. Use ur words.

[the truth]

she was demanding a weapon too....she was hysterical and violent. women need to stop being so violent

[Livia]

There's such a divide between men and women when it comes to people's reaction to their violent behaviour. People are saying the women should have been restrained... mostly for her own safety. That's not the first reaction when a man gets violent. And also, women are not all tiny, frail creatures. Some are bigger and stronger than some men. Just as some men are slight and physically weak.

Violence is that last resort of the idiotic.

amen...tbh i see zero difference between violence whether its from a man or a woman, its wrong. if any copper didnt take a male domestic violence report serious that man should report that copper. anyone can injure , maim or kill anyone else...sometimes with fists or with kicks or with a knife or bash to the head, all violence is wrong and a tiny woman can kill a big man. so what if the majority of men are slightly stronger, it comes down to the nature of the person.

[hot2go]

If a man hits a woman she shud remember he has to sleep at some point after....if a women hits a man then he should leave her...both should report it.....unfare that society makes it hard for men to retaliate to abuse from women....

I was brought up with that as well. It would have been a very rare event indeed for a woman to get violent toward a man in those times. The same can't be said now.

not really

boys due to testosterone are more likely to be involved with fighting per se and being well brought up girls I do not expect them ever to be involved with hitting men as that tends to belong to the feral under classes who end up on Jeremy kYLE

[jennyjuniper]

If a woman hits a man then she shouldn't be suprised if he hits/thumps her back. If he didn't the woman could take that as a free pass to hit him whenever she chose.
I think it was someone on this site who gave a great quote.
'Men stopped acting like gentlemen when women stopped acting like ladies'.

[Vicky.]

I think if a woman hits a bloke he is well within his rights to hit her back

I believe in equality

However in an ideal world, noone would be hitting anyone else.

welp not me missing this thread because I had Serious Debates excluded from New Posts for some reason

Violence is never justifiable unless in self-defence and this applies to both sexes. If you hit someone, expect them to retaliate. And quite frankly trying to protect women and pretend they're this frail and vulnerable group of people which must never be touched is extremely patronising and condescending.

This sums it up for me. WHilst both are wrong and he is clearly drunk

Yes she is hitting him but he can easily take her slaps and naturally should have walked away.

When he retaliates he could have killed her. Disgusting from him. As a man he should have walked away
No one will tell me he had any right to hit her. Utterly shocking

I totally agree L.T.

As you say, her 'slaps' and 'punches' WERE ineffectual 'powder puff' ones, and he had plenty of time to just walk away but the stupid twat stands there taking them like one of the Three Stooges.

Perhaps he WANTED to beat her up but thought that allowing her to continually slap him would justify his actions in the eyes of any onlookers?

Close the thread, Kizzy's back to point out where we're all going wrong... no need for any more opinions.

Well?.... You heard her, close it.

I have only pointed out what I'd have thought was screamingly obvious to anyone with a modicum of common sense like...

There's a clip ON YOUTUBE of two lesbians punching and racially abusing a guy, he show so much restraint warning them he will punch if they don't stop, they keep goading him, swinging punches but eventually hits the butch one.

I'd give anyone a smack if they give me one.

Also bye @ the prospect of me holding doors open for men or women I'm more important than anyone
