I have the same thoughts as most people in this thread. I never condone violence, I don't care if it is between two men, two women or a man and a woman it should always be a last resort. And any hitting/abuse in a relationship is obviously wrong.
But the entire, you're a man so you can't hit a woman thing, **** that. Equal rights, equal pain
He was right to defend himself but he didn't need to punch her like that. Sure, she was annoying but simply pushing her or throwing her out of the bus would have been enough. They're both wrong though. She shouldn't have bothered him in the first place and he shouldn't have provoked her with what he said.
In the video, they mentioned that the bus driver was fired for what he did. I'm not surprised. The force of that punch looked like it lifted her a little bit. That's the kind of punch that could knock you out cold.
I'm sorry, but just because she has an vagina does not give carte blanche in terms of assulting men, and not expecting retaliation. Equal rights, equal pain. You hit me; I hit you. Man or woman.
He was wrong for how he hit her. It was not self defense. He got fired for it. There is no excuse for what she did and none for him. Had it been a continued assault from her and he was able to respond it would be different. The time lapse between his hit and hers makes it inexcusable. I don't know their system or rules, but where I live the driver would have called the police and she would have been arrested. He wouldn't have touched her at all. Unless it were self defense.
