everyone should just keep their hands to themselves and not get into eachother's faces.
some nuances i'd like to add, if a dude gets into a girl's face and she pushes him first, she's in the right and he's in the wrong. I don't think this would justify him hitting her. Anytime someone gets into someone else's personal space in a threatening manner, i think it's a violation.
If anyone hits someone else first, they
should expect a fight.
If anyone hits me, i'll probably defend myself no matter who it is. My own mother would never hit me today. the fukk would i let another woman hit me for without retaliation?
to everyone saying "what if it was your daughter?". I'll teach my daughter not to start fights with men (or anyone for that matter) and i'll also teach her to defend herself if she has to. If my daughter starts a fight with a man and gets punched, that's my fault for not teaching her not to step to a man unless she's ready. Would I retaliate on dude?? probably. but my retaliation will have nothing to do with the fact he hit a girl. It would be an emotional reaction and a protective instinct more than anything else. On principle, i'd still agree with the dude.
Just don't hit anyone unless it's self-defense.
