(4,487 posts)I read the hidden post. A great analysis? Really? I can plainly see the knee as her defensive move. Not sure why Dr Xavier didn't see it. She does NOT interact with him first - something happened as he came up behind her and she turned and appears to confront him. He then physically restrains her - obviously against her will, and she uses her knee and a punch to try and disengage. He hits the shit out of her within 12 seconds of the start of the altercation.
The rules are complicated.
1. Don't hit a woman.
2. But if she's drunk, you're not allowed to hit her.
3. Now, if she mouths off at you, THEN you're not allowed to hit her.
4. If, on the other hand, she makes a threatening gesture, you can not hit her then.
5. If she threatens to hit you, and even balls up her fist like she's going to hit you, it is then appropriate to not hit her.
6. If she actually tries to hit you - I mean actually takes a swing at you, then of course you can not hit her at that point.
7. If she embarrasses you by actually landing a punch, then the reasonable response of any man would be to immediately not hit her.
8. Don't hit women. Don't hit ANYONE who is smaller, weaker or drunker than you, but especially a woman.
9. Don't grab people in a bar. Don't grab a woman even if you think she's disrespecting you. Don't grab her even if you just think she has misunderstood your actions or intentions. Don't grab her even if you think she's about to hit you. Walk away.
10. If you can't go out in public and have a drink without becoming an asshole, stay home.
WTF DU? Really? Defending this guy? Now I've seen everything! Next someone will try to promote polygamy!
