Why do you think some women feel entitled to fight men without retaliation?

* This is only relating to women who have or witnessed women being violent with men.*

Any person has the right to defend themselves. Verbal abuse is not an invitation to hit someone,but I understand why it gets there. No person has the right to be safe while abusing another person in any form.

I witnessed this recently. A man was about to hit a woman with a shopping cart by accident. He calmly told her to watch herself. She escalated. Yelling, getting in his face, refusing to leave. He held his composure until she pushed far enough that he raised his voice. Then two things happened. She said she fights men. Then she threatened to get other men to come beat him up. Over a shopping cart. A situation that never became physically violent.

I saw another example online recently about a woman who was yelling at this man who was yelling at her and her boyfriend for doing donuts in his cul-de-sac. She kept on yelling and the boyfriend yelled at her to get in that car. She was upset at him saying why would you yell at me and he was like we're in the wrong and that's a man and if he touches you I have to do something about it. She only saw her benefit and not his risk

She escalated knowing she had immunity. She felt entitled to have other men risk their bodies on her behalf for a situation she created. And she was probably right that society would view him as the aggressor the moment he defended himself.

So the question isn't should men hit women. It's why does a woman knowing most men are physically stronger proactively choose to escalate verbally or physically and feel completely shielded from consequences?

Every argument given falls apart under scrutiny.

"You wouldn't hit a child." An adult woman is not a child. Invoking child logic to protect an adult from consequences of their own aggression removes her agency entirely.

Men are stronger so consequences are more severe."

Relevant to proportionality. Not relevant to complete immunity regardless of what she initiated.

So in the end I would really like to discuss this. This comes up every once in awhile about men feeling like they should be able to hit a woman but I never really seen the discussion from the point of view of why what a woman ever hit a man in the first place.
