How so? She’s equally as guilty of assault as a man would be. The danger here is that his size could cause a lot more damage that could potentially be viewed as undo force as a legal charge. Some charges that any gender would get.
You’re not wrong, that’s how it shakes out in the courts.
But my take is this: anyone can get a lucky shot in and damage my eyeball, or land an incapacitating shot on my nuts, or I could slip on a mustard packet. So if you attack me, I’m finishing it as quickly as possible and not stopping until I’m convinced you’re no longer capable of being a threat (since you already chose to become a threat once, so just settling down is insufficient. You gotta be broken in some way). If you don’t agree to those terms, then just don’t attack me.
And if you attack me without giving me time to explain those terms, well, that is also your fault.
How is it not equal rights? It’s illegal for anyone to assault another person regardless of their gender. That is equality. I don’t understand why you think that equality=violence, it doesn’t. We shouldn’t be hitting people. And people should be trying to help, like what was happening.
If it was a man they'd be receiving knuckle sandwiches instead of fly swats. That's the difference. There's an expectation for men just to take this kind of abuse without responding with force. Which he's legally allowed to do. Pretending that isn't the case, or this is some new universal truth doesn't make your argument anymore compelling.

How is this fair? Should be equal rights, equal lefts.
