I think it's too much force in general given the size difference and the weak ass slow no form punch she threw. If a guy of a similar build threw a similar punch, after laughing his ass off, he should have walked away Especially, given who he is in life.

See your standard is retaliatory as oppose to defensive. I think its clear his punch was retaliation (because she hit him) and not defensive (to protect himself and get out of the situation). Would you agree?

Yet we do it all the time. If a child hit you, wouldn't you agree that you don't have the right to strike back retaliatory? A senior citizen? A disabled person?

And you can think I am fcuked up for comparing women to children, old people and disabled people but I am not comparing all women. Just this woman. If Their sizes were equal or she showed real fighting ability I think I would see this differently. Conversely, if the agressor was a frail man throwing a similar punch I think I would see it the same.

I think my assessment is thoroughly consistent.

If that is the rule then I should be fucking up these kids on the playground.
