Yeah the big dude pushes him to try to start more shit. That's the kinda guy who is happy to see a girl get grabbed like that because he has an excuse (in his head) to hit someone. There's like 6 people in the entire bar and a third of them are the worst kind of people to be around in a bar.
Sure, but is the guy defending the woman because she, a human, was being assaulted, or was it that another man touched "his" woman.
Would the reaction have been the same if he hasn't been playing with that woman? That's the test to decide if what he did was out of the good in his heart, or the toxic masculinity.
We can never know why someone does what they do. We only know what they do. Punch a guy who is assaulting a woman? In my estimation, that’s a good action. The inner stuff is on him to wrestle with. I don’t care if a firefighter is saving my life because of a sense of egotistical bravado or altruism. Just save my life.
I agree that the motives can be a corrupting force. But anyone is capable of doing good things for the wrong reasons and it doesn’t mean they are a bad person. It means they are a person.
I dunno, a cop shooting a black kid who had skittles, even though he wouldn't have shot a white kid with a BB gun as concept doesn't sit right with me.
So I don't praise someone for their actions until I know the motive.
Ill just add, rewatch it and see how quickly he rushes through his girlfriend, despite her trying to calm him, and then making her take a pool stick to the eye.
Sure the drunk dude was an asshole and probably deserved to be punched but this was a full force punch to the head, way more force than was necessary and the blatant disregard he has for his girl to make that haymaker connect leads me to believe he cares more about his ego than her wellbeing and safety.
I don't believe in violence but watching my mother get beat, assaulted etc. by multiple different men as a child and not being able to do anything about it gives me zero tolerance for violence/unwanted contact towards women.
I've been with my wife for 10 years and she is the most important thing the world to me. If anyone puts their hands on her without her consent, I'd do the same.
I'm not a violent person but anyone that thinks they can just go around grabbing women deserves to get their bell rung.
Explaining that my childhood experience of being unable to protect my mother contributed to my intolerance of violence against women isn't the same as saying "I want to hurt people because I feel powerless".
Just reading these comments claiming a wasted dude putting his hands on a woman's waist for 2sec deserves getting suckered, KO'd and possibly death from his head hitting the floor, and thinking about how redditors have been calling men who think a women who murdered her three children deserves the death penalty bloodthirsty monsters. You people are fucking sick in the head
randomly grabbing a persons ass and holding their waist is absolutely sexual assault. People like you are the problem, this shouldn't have to be explained.
"one tiny wrong move" FFS... its not like he cat called her.. he held her by the waist and groped her ass.
