I said, fuck this guy for doing something disgusting. You come back with some bullshit about me trying to look chivalrous, then tell me not to berate someone for punching a woman in the face (because no, this is normal behavior). Now you are pretending I'm trying to establish set rules and make everyone follow…

I did not compare myself to Gandhi. I replied directly to this:

Don't punch a woman in the face is a pretty hard and fast rule I adhere to

Gender doesn't matter here? Ok.

ah yes, you can't see gender so of course that word isn't gendered. Was anything you said supposed to be funny?

Well in this case, she is being more heavily punished.

You're dumber than I imagined

I'm sexist but you use words like "bitch".

Or you could maybe listen to the way he talks about women ...

I don't think not hitting a woman in the face is considered chivalrous

Oh so like the gender equivalent of those people who say they aren't racist because they don't even see race. Good to know.

Sorry, but this is bullshit. Don't excuse his action. He could've shoved her. He chose to punch her and punch her in the face.

Here's the thing, Jason: men are stronger than women on average. Therefore, men's punches do more damage on average. Plus, there is the nasty history of men using violence to keep women in control. I don't think you're really the feminist you pretend to be.

Mahatma Gandhi was just a scared little boy too I guess. Not everyone turns to violence. And it isn't even that binary. There are so many other options between punch back in the face and walk away. He chose the dumbest option.

It would have done no good.

How is that?

Haha. Defending himself ...

Serious question: Would you punch her back in the face?

You asked the stupid-as-fuck question

Oh the only option is too hit back, even when you are well aware of the consequences? Cool cool cool
