Because I asked if you would consider a man to be lying as well, I am defending kicking people in the head? I disagree.

She regrets doing it, which accounts for a lot in my opinion (of course, you're deciding she doesn't actually regret it for reasons I still don't understand).

But let's look at the situation, in context. They were in a gym. They had a supervised fight. The guy decided not to wear gear. Stupid decision on his part (like not wearing a seatbelt or helmet) but in this case the person who would end up liable is the coach/trainer who is in charge and didn't insist that he wear proper gear.

Yes, she is the one who hit him, and she of course bears that responsibility. But she didn't just do it in the street randomly, which would be assault. She did it after warning her opponent about her training, when the opponent wanted to spar with her. She shouldn't have used as much force as she did against him, but kicking him in the head is part of the sport they both agreed on, not just something random she did.

If he had kicked her ass, I wouldn't call it assault, because it was a sports match. I also don't think it's assault that she kicked his ass. It was indeed dangerous, but because of the lack of proper equipment to protect him, equipment that was available but that he decided not to wear because he was underestimating his opponent.

Because she was a woman and he was a man, you're framing it like she was hoping to assault him and then is gloating that she did and won't be punished for it. This is not the context or content of the post. That's what I'm pointing out.

When athletes fight on a ring and hurt each other, it's part of the risks they agreed on, not assault.

Taking posts like hers and making it some sort of anti-male agenda just makes us look bad, like we'll take any excuse to blame women, the same way feminazis blame men for everything. That's not something I am willing to do, which is why I suggested pretending she was a man for a second. If your problem with the situation is then gone, then that means you're the one treating genders differently.
