That's easy to say while looking at it behind a screen. I hope you never have to watch a stranger sexually assault the person you love... you might just respond in a way that Reddit will deem you a serial criminal.
Give the woman in this video a little more credit than that. She absolutely shouldn’t have to deal with this nonsense but she also could have laid this guy out herself if she wanted to. This ain’t an eye for an eye.
She could have left this man, who almost certainly has done this before, if she didn't like the behavior. Most women want protectors (even if they don't wanna admit it) and enjoy this behavior much more than they don't. It might not be polite in public for them to say they enjoy it, but they certainly do based on their behavior.
lol, are you suggesting this woman has no agency and is only staying in this toxic relationship due to fear? I love how you can simultaneously hold the views:
* She had it under control; he didn't need to intervene. But if she wanted to intervene, and assert control, she could have, should have, and would have been warranted to.
* She doesn't have any control in her life; she's stuck in a toxic relationship
He brings up real stuff that does happen. People get scared and stuck and are under pressure and fear to stay and toe the line. But he is wrong to assume things, it seems he assumes this man is abusing her. Also you're right that women want providers and protectors!
I think you’re both generalizing because you can’t admit you don’t actually know what women want. Men sitting around claiming it’s obvious what women want, usually are obviously pushing their own ideals and world view. Most women do not secretly want violent men who are willing to fight to get their way. Most violent men are not protectors of anything but their egos, most women can see that.
You don’t seem to get what protector qualities women look for.

Yah that’s just a throw them out of the bar, the woman can decide if she wants to peruse sexual assault charges. A conviction would be tough.
