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

Now some of you may have already seen this video right here recently. Its sad right ? So many people out here giving in to that negative energy that I was talking about before. And some are so sucked in that they cannot help but be this way.
What we have here are two issues that should and could be addressed. One here we have an African American male.
Second we have a Caucasian [b]Latina female. Ok here we go again. You have gender and then you have race.
In this video you see the woman actually hitting the man first. He is the employee, she is the customer. What do you think ?
Did he have a right to hit this woman back ? Or should he have just reported her to the authorities instead. Now you all know how I feel about domestic violence. I do not think it is fine for a man to hit a woman. But I do realize that you can't just run up to people and start attacking them out of nowhere for no reason at all. Some people will hurt you, do you understand me. Are we clear ? Good. What do you think about this ? Do you believe that it is ok for a man to hit a woman if it is self defense only. Yes or no. Explain why please. Best answer wins. 🙂

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.

@SW-User Uh ok.
SW-User
@Zonuss
yeah why?
Sharon · F
@SW-User You ignore the fact that she attacked him first.

It's not OK to hit a man either, except in self-defence and a man is entitled to defend himself against a violent woman.
SW-User
@Sharon
He’s being aggressive in her face, she hardly hit him, he’s twice her size. He’s trying to push her buttons
.
Reactive abuse!
Sharon · F
@SW-User She was the one being agressive. Even you admit she hit him but you're trying to down play her attack because she's a woman. Wouldn't you react if someone hit you or do you just expect a man to take it?
SW-User
@Sharon she shouldn’t have hit him but he’s yelling and making the situation worse.
Sharon · F
@SW-User What would you do if a smaller man hit you for no apparent reason? His reaction was entirely understandable.
SW-User
I guess we can all stand back and see the situation differently, I’ve been in an abusive relationship, I was with someone that wanted to fuel my fire, loved an argument. I’d react….
I learnt to stop reacting, this is what I see here.
Sharon · F
@SW-User I've seen men badly injured by violent abusive women. The fact that an attacker is female is irrelevant.

Your philosophy is why I've had to rush seriously injured men to A&E after they were attacked by violent women.
Zonuss · 46-50, M
@SW-User She hit him once and then a second time. He let her off the first time she slapped him. Most people take slaps seriously. It's like you're trying to humiliate them.
SW-User
@Caroline259

it’s not ok to hit men either, he’s shouting in her face, he’s trying to provoke her.

Reactive abuse.
SW-User
@Zonuss
She shouldn’t have hit him, but he’s shouting in her face, he’s trying to get a reaction from her.
This explains it.

@SW-User She was trying to get a reaction from him..🙂
Zonuss · 46-50, M
@SW-User Provocation on both sides. It's quite clear. This isn't a biased answer either. I use logic over emotion.
SW-User
@Zonuss I don’t know the full story but he’s not innocent, They both look as bad. I wasn’t sticking up for her, I just see he’s pushing her too.
Caroline259 · 56-60, F
@SW-User
he’s trying to provoke her.
That's not how I see it. He's just reacting to her abuse and assault. She's trying to provoke him and only runs away when she thinks she's succeeded.
SW-User
@Caroline259
He’s shouting in her face. 🤷🏼‍♀️
Caroline259 · 56-60, F
@SW-User Yes, after she assaulted him. She's shouting in his face too.
SW-User
@Caroline259

Is there another video?
Caroline259 · 56-60, F
@SW-User It's there in the video posted by the OP.

I’ve been in an abusive relationship,
Maybe that's colouring your view. My husband was in an abusive relationship before he met me too. I've also encountered a lot of violent abusive women in my job so I don't automatically take the woman's side. I've met women just like her, who push and push just to try to get a man to react so they can then play the victim.

@Caroline259 I only watched the top one, I didn’t realise he’s a worker at the airport, ( I thought it was a couple lol 😆) he should have shown more self control, he’s not very professional, he’s still yelling in her face, I just see it like he’s trying to get her to react, push her.
I’m not siding with any, both in the wrong. It could have easily been handled better if he remained more calm and professional.
Zonuss · 46-50, M
@SW-User Not everyone has the temperament to deal with a holes. You can see that even here on SW. That alone should tell you something right there.
SW-User
@Zonuss I know, 💯 lol many of them.
