The term "self defense" is not a magic ticket that allows you to wantonly assault people. "How did he know if" is also a bullshit excuse.

Physical abuse is physical abuse regardless of the injuries sustained or the method of the attack. Would you be ok if instead of groping a female co-worker a male only licked his lips in a sexual way towards the same female co-worker? No, you'd be appalled and would be calling for him to be fired. Why does it matter…

I dunno... If you're gonna throw punches you're fair game to be punched
