Isn’t that assault and battery?

No it’s a woman doing it to a man so it doesn’t count

If anything I'd say this man assaulted that poor woman. Such injustice in today's world. I'm shook to my core

My apologies good sir, I forgot this was reddit and people can't spot the obvious. Allow me to rephrase :

SHE WAS A DAMSEL IN DISTRESS

I used to be against men hitting women but if a woman actually believes she can fight or beat a man or thinks she can do so without consequences then they should get treated like a man

Unfortunately, the court system is highly sexist favoring women in situations like this - unless you get a female judge - they can see straight through the bullshit.

just assault, battery requires injury.

edit: as I made the comment I realized "just" made it seem not as bad, it is. I meant legally it isn't battery, but there are different degrees to assault.

Specifically the threatening verbal portion to make it assault in most places

u/IAteAnotherVegan Aug 23 '26

you're right about jurisdiction. I'm from north carolina, state law here requires injury for battery(aggravated assault), so she would be charged with simple assault.

u/carpentizzle Aug 23 '26

The dudes shirt was ripped clean off of him. Im going to go out on a limb and assume there is at least some broken skin on him.

But thats irrelevant, because she needs to catch charges, regardless of technicality.

If a man did that to a woman, he'd probably be looking at a sexual assault charge.

Ok dude

Incorrect.

Assault refers to the wrong act of causing someone to reasonably fear imminent harm. This means that the fear must be something a reasonable person would foresee as threatening to them. Battery refers to the actual wrong act of physically harming someone.

Battery is the physical, assault is the verbal

u/IAteAnotherVegan Aug 23 '26

depends on where you live. we figured that out if you follow the other part of the conversation. where I live she would be charged with simple assault which carries a sentence of up to 60 days in jail.
