Woman punches (8 times), slaps (11 times), and kicks (2 times) man over 55 seconds. Man finally punches back (5 times) over 6 seconds. Title of story: "Shocking video shows man punching girlfriend to the floor."

At least the comments are sensible.

But its ok for a woman to repeatedly punch slap and kick a man isnt it? The double standards are appalling.

Dick-Punch-Man · 2016-06-10T13:55:33+00:00

This is just 2 sided DV. The time for self defense had passed. 1 committed assault & then a minute later the other did. Where was that witness during the 1st assault?

Florient · 2016-06-10T14:29:20+00:00

People are waking up to this really quickly, just look at the comments. Plenty of men have experience with violent girlfriends or drunken women in public and are starting to get why "never hit a woman ever" is from an outdated era.

Lets play the "what would the headlines reach if the genders had been reversed"-game.

My guess: Heroic woman knocks out her abusive boyfriend.

It looks like they are both at fault for assault and battery. He was not in danger when he hit her and he even blocked her escape.

That said, the headline is misleading.

Pariahdog119 · 2016-06-10T11:36:52+00:00

c&p from my comment on this video posted yesterday c&p'ed from my comment on this video posted the day before yesterday:

He has no self defense argument here. Self defense ends when you stop your attacker from attacking you. He doesn't attack until after she's stopped. That's retaliation.

They're both guilty of assault and battery. Depending on the nature of her injuries, he may have committed aggravated assault. And of course, the attack on the witness is completely unjustified.

Only he is likely to be charged, due to the outcome (not gender. If their positions were reversed - he was slapping her around and then she beat the shit out of him and attacked a witness after they'd apparently reconciled - I doubt he'd be charged, too.) He should have limited himself to stopping her attack. Anything beyond that ceases to be self defense. If he'd done that, she'd be the one facing charges.

This probably isn't the first time they've beat the shit out of each other, either. Half of all interpersonal violence is reciprocal.

ExpendableOne · 2016-06-10T13:43:01+00:00

They are both guilty of assault. Both should be in jail.

evolutionof · 2016-06-10T14:54:44+00:00

Archive to avoid giving them hits.

I've been hit by a girlfriend to the point that I had to defend myself and it became a physical fight. I tried to leave the room, the house, and didn't call the police. I felt like a victim but I didn't call for help because I didn't want a person I cared about going to jail, I didn't want to go to jail for hitting back. This wasn't self defense this was two humans attacking each other.

JakeDC · 2016-06-10T14:58:54+00:00

I wish people who thought this sub was full of misogynist, woman-haters would stop by and read these comments. They would be shocked to learn that the dominant view is that self-defense is justifiable, but does not cover the brutality he showed at all, both in terms of timing and extent of his actions. They would be shocked to know that most here don't generally support violence of any kind unless needed for self-defense. Nope, just a bunch of shitlords here. Maddening.

That being said, the headline provokes the image of a completely one-sided engagement, that she was just sitting there and he jumped her. This is reciprocal DV, and should be discussed, and legally treated, as such. Definitely a less-than-subtle bias there.

TheDude41 · 2016-06-10T14:51:24+00:00

Throw them both in the clink.

FFXIV_Machinist · 2016-06-10T15:19:08+00:00

just to be clear- both people are out of control, and both are wrong. his blows were done in retaliation, but were after the fact which makes them inexcusable- had he retaliated against her blows while still being assaulted, he would be in the right, however aggressively pursuing her when she tried to disengage , and that he went after the bystander is not acceptable.

elmariachi304 · 2016-06-10T18:53:09+00:00

I don't want anything to do with this video, and I'm certainly not holding it up to prove any point. They were both in the wrong. If I'm that guy I'm walking away, or getting in my car and leaving. Really, if I'm that guy I'm not dating that crazy bitch in the first place. But even though he has the right to defend himself, it's a no-win situation for him to do anything but leave the scene without saying or doing anything at all.

RussianLucidGamer · 2016-06-10T20:08:54+00:00

no, no, and fuck no! Both should be at fault for violence. You see women, you cant have it both ways, you cant cry and bitch about not being treated equally to man, but at the same time abuse the power of being a WOMAN to dehumanize that man, so you are allowed to bitch slap him, punch him, kick him and expect for that to be ok and without repercussion, and not have him respond back to the vicious attacks by the woman?? so I say step up to the plate woman and get treated equally in court when they pass down the sentence on the man, you shall get yours as well...and finally we can be equally judged, if that's what you want. :) and if not, then STOP with your silly games, we ARE different. Lets WORK together with our differences not fight. But, I do agree that the dude should of eased off the pedal of power when unleashing his fists of fury.

Scottysmoosh · 2016-06-10T13:55:13+00:00

sanity in the comments at least.

Swiggy · 2016-06-10T12:45:27+00:00

Defintiely not self-defense. He assualted her well after he was safe. Dude deserves jailtime.

thenecro · 2016-06-10T15:47:35+00:00

Yeah, on the basis of gender equality she deserved to get her ass kicked during her assault of the guy. The fact that he stopped her from getting into the car, they hugged like a bad romance movie, and THEN he decked her a few times? He's just as guilty as she was in the beginning. They both deserve jail time.

Mens-Advocate · 2016-06-10T22:56:46+00:00

The gynocentric Western legal systems have given women the right to murder men simply by claiming unsubstantiated abuse (battered woman syndrome ).

Were the law consistent, this battered man would have the legal right to kill his abuser. After all, the abuse he suffered is proved, unlike many females' abuse excuse.

2016-06-10T22:54:03+00:00

A little excessive but she shouldnt have been a cunt wagon.

Sasha_ · 2016-06-11T00:40:31+00:00

An accurate headline would be 'two hookers arguing with a pimp who stole some money off one of them'.

Without doubt this is not the first time she has hit him. It's probably been going on for months or years along with emotional abuse, but every time he walked away. Big mistake! Bullies will keep on bullying until you make a stand. If he calls the cops he will be arrested and kicked out of the home because he has the penis. I totally understand why he finally snapped and he should not face any legal consequences for it.

Quintrell · 2016-06-10T14:16:27+00:00

Seeing as dude knocked her ass on the ground it's no surprise the video is titled the way it is.

Mackowatosc · 2016-06-10T13:46:06+00:00

Shocking. Should have taken one proper hit to the face. He sucks at combat proper :)

libbylibertarian · 2016-06-10T15:42:58+00:00

They both commited battery but let's be honest, the man added kidnapping to the mix.

Pariahdog119 · 2016-06-10T13:35:09+00:00

Come on guys, this is the kind of thing that gets MRAs branded as misogynistic, angry virgins.

Women should not be allowed to strike men with impunity. That said, men must never retaliate either. Despite what feminists try to tell us, men are just physically much stronger than women and it's simply not the same.

When you are the stronger party, you back the fuck down. The average woman I see every day could cause a bruise if she hit me as hard as she could. If I did the same, I would probably kill her.

A man hitting a woman in retaliation is taking a gun to a knife fight.

EDIT: and the responses to this comment are why MRAs are seen as a bad joke. All anyone sees is you guys trying to justify beating women. Good luck with that.

mikesteane · 2016-06-10T23:51:00+00:00

He should have warned her after the first hit and hit back after the second. One punch would have been enough.
