The reason your misogyny is on display is that the full video does not depict a woman initiating violence against a man. He puts hands on her and she has every right to defend herself. Are you tired of men committing the overwhelming majority of violence in this country, including 98% of all sexual assaults?

Why are you invested in placing blame everywhere other than the guy who clearly initiated the incident? Watch the full video. Proportionality matters because even if he was acting in self defense, which he wasn’t, self defense is about doing what’s needed to stop the threat - you don’t get to overdo it. I.e. a much…

Dude... Watch the full video. He initiated all of the contact. She was defending herself.

Nope, he initiated the physical contact. Watch the full video on YouTube and try again. The more important question is why are you so angry towards women?

Nope you didn’t watch the full video.

You clearly didn’t watch the full video.

What about proportionality do you not understand? It would be one thing if she had coldcocked him square in the jaw, but she halfheartedly grazed him while trying to get away from him. For him to rear back and clock her was heinous, and it’s heinous for you to say she deserved it.

Dude after the way the legislature has treated him you think he wants to spend every day in the muck with those motherfuckers? I'd wager it would be just about the least appealing thing in the world to him.

Absurd to think he’d run for senate. No way he goes for a position that comparatively powerless.

I’m thinking about her unborn child - how sad is it that the baby will be the manifestation of a “huge disappointment”?

You do understand “context” is a thing, yes?

With what power? What sorts of repercussions can there possibly be if the student refuses?

Oh that person is plenty confused :)

I understood that from the start and agree. I’m just noting a point of confusion in these comments. In places like Illinois, all sexual assaults are rapes. The legal term for unwanted sexual touching that does not include penetration in Illinois is “sexual abuse.”

This is a semantic issue. Unquestionably there are sexual offenses that we do not colloquially call “rape.” The point of my comment is that in some jurisdictions, the legal definition of the term “sexual assault” is what people typically mean when they say “rape” (penetration without consent).

In some states, like Illinois, “sexual assault” is the legal term for rape http://www.ilga.gov/legislation/il…

Off topic. This piece is about State power, not private individuals.
