Do u believe it's ok for a man to hit a woman "if" it's self defense ? 🥊

Eh, I'd file this under "social fighting", two hotheads escalating shit for no reason in a fucking airport of all places. As far as I'm concerned, the only sin on this guy's shoulders is causing a distressing commotion in what should be a peaceful public space. I'm not particularly cryin' a tear for the chick he attacked, considering that she initiated the fighting.

Anyone should be allowed to defend themselves appropriately, regardless of gender.

I’m not convinced this video shows appropriate self-defense, however.

No, that wasn’t okay. First off he was coming up into her face over and over after she told him to back up. He wasn’t listening. She is a much smaller female and she pushed him back a few times but he kept coming back into her face. He was being intimidating. She definitely shouldn’t have taken that last swing around the other guy but she barely made contact. And he went off. It wasn’t in self defense. He wasn’t threatened or in danger.

She is a "Karen" and clearly the aggressor.It looks like the incident was underway before the start of the video.She pushed, slapped and provoked him and he is right to defend himself.Women can be aggressive,strong and physically very capable which is often overlooked.
When I was 18 my then boyfriend aged 25
tried to slap me as we were splitting up.I stopped him and battered him to a pulp.My parents persuaded me to let him go,I had him in a throat lift.He needed to go to ER.He even knew up front I had a karate black belt and was very strong.

I believe it's perfectly okay for a man to defend himself from a physical attack by a women. That is not what I see there in those videos, though. I see a man getting enraged and going after someone, in this case obviously a woman, because she sort of hit him.

Him being angry enough to go after her that way may be understandable, but it was not self-defense. It didn't look she like actually hurt him either. So yes, in answer to your self-defense "only" question.

Everyone has the right to defend themselves, regardless of the sex of the attacker. She attacked him so he was entitled to defend himself from further attack. She should have been arrested but it's common knowledge the police usually take the woman's side.

I think it's fine for a man to hit a woman IF he is being physically attacked by her. I don't advocate violence but she is no less at fault than he is, especially as she was the one to become physical first.

Tbf it looks like she can handle herself too 😂 I don't believe any of this "she's a tiny, helpless woman" unless she actually is that way. This was a grown woman who decided to hit another person, and that was the response she got.

Now, as someone much smaller than her with respect to frame and weight I understand the vulnerabilities of women...I've been chocked and then thrown to the ground by a man in a situation that wasn't sexual, so I get it. This is a very different scenario though.

if a women hits a man, that man has a right to defend himself
I am very much under the firm belief of dont hit someone unless you expect to be hit back.

Women hit men thinking they can get away with it and men dont hit back for the most part because they have been conditioned to not defend themselves against women.
Its bullshit.
If women knew there might be some consequences to hitting a man, I bet they would not do it.
Fact is no one has the right to really assault another but if you do, expect the other to defend themselves

Haven't watched those videos cause I dont feel like it but personally I don't seek to hit women, i do not create scenarios where I would plausibly need to hit women, and I don't argue with women either.

So really the only way i could possibly be in a place where hitting a woman becomes a real option for me would be if some irate woman has cornered me and was either unable or unwilling to be reasoned with.

And if by some crazy twist of fate this were to happen, I would manhandle her 🤷🏽‍♂️. No shame about it either. I would do my best to avoid actually striking her but if she had a weapon or I couldn't get a hold of her for some reason then yeah I may hit her too.

It is hard to think of a realistic scenario where I would be so threatened by a woman that i would have to fight her but if we are assuming, for the sake of argument, that that is the case then i mean well yeah I will fight to win. It shouldn't take much; I shouldn't have to hurt her too bad because after all she is a woman and I am stronger than most men of my same height and weight much less a woman. But yeah I'd do what i have to and only what I have to.

TL;DR: if i had to, and i mean really really had to, then yes I would and i dont care if that is right or wrong. I dont see that ever happening though.

Okay, I don't know what led up to the part that was caught on camera, but he pushed he into reacting by constantly getting into her space and yelling/sounding threatening. She never really hit him - more slapped him on the arm. He is the one who went all bad ass on her. Sorry, he should have walked off, cooled off and if necessary called for assistance. Bad call on his part.

Now, anyone who is attacked can defend themselves. However, let's get real... how often does a man face a physically superior female that could actually hurt him? Not often. Still, if a man is in fear for his safety, he has every right to fight back. This was not, in my opinion, the case in the video.

Not at all

He should have gotten security to arrest her instead of going after her. He could’ve made her life much more difficult that way, and there wouldn’t have been a debate over who was in the right.

I think that he was trying to refrain and hold back but her side swipe just basically put it over the edge when things were tense and she totally did that on purpose. The police found him not at fault which was very fair I think. My opinion of this is in my post, I don't feel like rehashing it but just so you know my opinion:

Nope. Oh shit i was here yesturday.lol

Wow 😯 from what I see, the man’s toxic and in her face, he’s the one raising his voice, trying to push her.

It’s not ok to hit a woman, ever.

Physical violence has to be 100 percent absolute last resort line of (self) defence. Physical violence includes using guns, or any other kind of weapon. When hitting someone in self-defence whatever you use is considered a 'weapon'. Even if you throw an object at someone in anger.

The key is 'appropriate use of force'. Military and armed forces like police etc. get a LOT of training about that. Us civilians get none.

Yes if it in self defense

In extreme circumstances yes. Do the minimum you need to do to defend yourself.
However if a woman came at me with a knife i wouldnt care that she was a woman at all.

If she hits first he has a right defend himself. Too often, it is considered funny, ha, ha, he-must've-deserved-it when a woman attacks a man.

Disgusting!I abhor the whole idea of hitting anyone whether it's a male hitting female or female hitting male .
Verbal battles are better though.Atleast no one is harmed physically.

Should be avoided at all costs.

Yes there are certain times where it's necessary. Yet I see men hitting women at the least provocation, not even attempting to think. Many men use that as a way to not think about the situation and just react.

It's that reaction frame of mind that is wrong.

Not giving women a excuse either. Women as well don't think.

Separating yourself from the situation is far far better for both men and women. And it doesn't matter what gender they are.

This goes for men on men or women on women as well.

Can't say how many times that I have walked away from a "possible" fight.

#1 this is Fox News so i immediately question how they've presented the videos. I'd like to see an unedited version. #2, Security should have separated them & escorted her out before the problem escalated. #3 In most cases a woman can usually be easily subdued in a wrestling hold or similar, so there is usually no need for violence beyond holding her so that more violence doesn't take place. But the situation in the video could have been prevented.

No thats not ok ....he's obviously stronger..he should have had her arrested for assault

Yes. Everyone has a right to defend themselves when all other options are unavailable.

Violence in any form is abhorrent

you have the right to defend yourself.

I think sometimes, yes. Each situation is different. I think we need more of what happened before, than this video shows.
Maybe he should have called a security officer earlier. I don't know. His fuse might be a little short for dealing with overly entitled customers. This interaction was probably not the look that the airline wants.

No. Id walk away from her.Gosh theres no way

It appears they both have fragile egos. They are both in the wrong but she was running away when he hit her so his attack wasn’t self defense. It was retaliation. Charge them both with assault.

Their both as bad as each other... But this dude should have taken the day off.

Don’t know the specifics of that incident , but every person has a right to physically defend themselves from bodily harm.

The Black guy talked too much & chasing the woman to even up is a cowardly act

One of those bystanders should have knocked him out

Lol he lost it. He obviously had other issues going on than whatever the woman said or did.
If a woman hit me with her bare hands, I’d just stop her. I know for some men it feels humiliating in public, but hitting back is even worse. You become the bad guy.
Plus the woman was not a threat to him at some point, his retaliation was disproportionate.

No you shouldn’t hit a woman no matter what

There was a full moon on the 11th.

She provoked him for sure… butttt… he’s bigger and stronger and a penis wielder haha

It wasn’t self defense

No, never.

We don’t know the behavior on the plane.
Where was security..when she got off the plane..

She should have been offered another flight..before the supervisor was involved.
Instead, damage control for an airline…

Far from ok, imo, but it has nothing to do with gender.

I wouldn't mind seeing both of these folks criminally charged, but he definitely should be fired or suspended.

No, just hold her arms

Block and subdue, but not hit.
