Well adjusted people don't hit. Period. Gender is irrelevant.

LMAO, another dumb statement has found a friend.

No it isn't, nor is allowing anyone, male or female to hit me. Women wanted equality, equality also includes responses to physical assaults.

If a small man takes a swing at me Im not going to say oh hell it's just a 5'7 man, he gets a pass. Why should women feel entitled to the free pass?

That was a pitiful punch.

The strength of women and men is far different. Hitting a woman at the slightest provocation is your style. You just admitted it

Anyway, both "adults" should be charged with assault. There was no excuse for the lady to start it, and what the dude did was clearly not just self-defense.

What any good parent would have done was scold the kid, made him give it back and apologize, and apologize to the store owner personally. My kid would have gotten a swat on the behind as well.


She did exactly the opposite and began to attack the man, when he was clearly right. Hope she learned a lesson out of this, but I doubt that she did.

She barely touched his shoulder and yes, she shouldn't have touched him at all. Still, a closed fist punch to the face in response ? Come on, woman or man, excessive. She turned and walked away. It was over.

Possibly on the plus side, the children had a lesson in keep your hands to yourself.

Recently, on Netflix, I have watched many Asian movies and series. What strikes me about their cultures is that they do lay hands on those that they feel need physical correction. I do not know if this is simply for the program or movie? But it appears it may be cultural trait? Many of those Asian programs have been from South Korea; possible it is more ingrained in one culture than another?

I am not arguing right or wrong; that will be up to the law or court.

There's usually a big difference in strength if you use the same amount of strength on a woman vs a man to protect yourself then you're a sadist. His wimpy punch was in retaliation of a push.
