If I told you it was sexist, would it make you feel better?
Should tagline that to say "posting in an epic thread"

Chick had it coming.. Once you attack someone with a weapon.. All bets are off.
I don't care who comes at me with a weapon.. Man, woman, old, young.. You're getting punched or slapped.
Edit: Mind your babies around me.. Trying to attack me with a rattle.. I ain't having it *Punch*

Nah. Men need to control themselves more. Not because men are strong, or women are weak...but because we are equal and should be treated equally.....

I honestly dont understand your motive here. Are my insults towards this dumbass woman supposed to be PC?
Or should I just not insult her? Because I think her attitude is trashy, her stiletto shoes are slutty, and her treatment of others makes her a bitch. There is no sexism here.
Although the shoes comment is reaching. I just think you're trying to create something that isn't there Sigmund.
Agree with Whoopi. The police seem to agree as well because he is facing no charges. ...although IMO he shouldn't have been in jail for 4 days.
If someone attacks you, you have a right to defend yourself. If you hit someone first, don't be surprised if they hit back.
He showed restraint by just slapping her. The White Knight that came and attacked him after the slap didn't get just a slap.
didn't realize this from the last thread.
Her friend that beat him from behind & the White Knight that tried attacking him after the slap were also charged.

Given your loose criteria for racist, I don't think it matters either way which 'ism' you use.
Might be easier if you list an appropriate term to describe her foul behaviour.

Respecting someone just because they are part of the female gender is sexism.
Yes, I'm going to give that guy shit, because he is a sexist.
I just think there's more civil ways to approach the subject than to start slinging insults but whatever. It was an observation I regret making since it's derailing the thread.

Of course. And I have in other posts. I guess I really, really hate this exact type of bully behavior where she has her friends at her back and most likely the assumption a man won't hit her.
I insult her because I think she deserves it and doesn't necessarily deserve a metered and censored discussion.

This is why I'm not a feminist. Women don't don't need to be treated in the same shitty way we men can treat each other.

See, that's the thing.
It's sexist because you're not respecting men, you're treating men worse than women.
Sexism is a two-way street, anytime you try to "elevate" one sex over the other, you're putting another sex down.
To truly be for equality, gender should never be considered. Go ahead and say that you won't punch someone that's smaller, or that you'll hold open the door for someone you'd like to bang, but never specify the gender or risk getting called out on sexism.
The bolded is really awful.
I don't wear stilettos personally, but they in no way indicate "slut". They're shoes.
And asshole fits just as well as bitch. That's such a terrible word, it would be great if we didn't use it...

Point taken. I mean ... they are terms my fiance would use to describe them .. .but w/e, was just an insult, nothing more. I'll probably be banned here in a few moments anyway because insulting somebody who calls a guy with a lisp 'retarded' and then hits him in the back in the head with a stiletto is 'crossing the line'.
I honestly do not understand how 'bitch' is any better than 'asshole'. Can we not use douchebag either? I mean. Go into the Kim K thread and people are calling her fat and insulting her left and right. People call others 'bitches' all the time, why is this so different?
I don't get it. I can't say "that woman acted like a bitch" on NeoGAF?
Dammit. I hate these threads and I need to get out while I can. Sorry for insulting that upstanding citizen.
Not a good look, fam.

She needed to be arrested for disorderly conduct or battery. The guy probably didn't need to hit her away like he did, but I'm not going to say he was doing the wrong thing when he defended himself.
Pain is pain, and fear for your safety doesn't just disappear when you hit 6ft or something. Guy deserves the right to take the same measures to act in his own self defence as anyone else, against an attacker of any height.
"Other people are tasteless too" is not a good argument for poor behaviour.

As I mentioned, I'm just so sorry for insulting that upstanding citizen. Next time I'll have an award letter written that I can dramatically read.
Inb4 "if your fiance was racist, would you be?"
Never said it was. Just stating that I don't understand why MY comments are the ones being put under the microscope here.
I called her shoes slutty, I called her a trashy bitch. Let's completely ignore the fact she assaulted and insulted somebody with a lisp and is now having charges brought against her and her friends and concentrate on my passive insults and how the deep meaning of them is racist, misogynistic, sexist, and whatever people are implying by them.
You don't know if you're gonna be banned. Lots of people avoid one if they settled down.
I haven't visited that thread but that does sound terrible. Bitch is a lot like cunt on this site. Words that quickly get people in trouble.
Acting like a bitch isn't really calling her one but it's not up to me. Maybe a mod could clarify.
She's not an upstanding citizen. She's awful for what she's done to that guy. Just awful.

Well, it was more in conversation "she was a trashy bitch!", not "she is a woman and here is a term that I hope only insults females and maybe racist".
But, is what it is. I assume I'll get banned. It's just the way these things go. Was a good run!
I already made me view in the issue obvious and I 100% defend what the guy did, I also did it without using it as a springboard for insulting people, using questionable language and then overacting like a selfrighteous victim over getting called out on it, which is the issues mods have with this topic and why this thread will also be blocked.
I love the irony of complaining about political correctness and people being touchy while throwing a tantrumm tho. 10+ for the "I have a female friend" defense.
Just saying but this wouldn't be "self defense". His life was in no immediate danger from her shoving platform boots into his head. He simply felt the need to retaliate.

There is no way to say that when someone gets physical and/or uses a weapon. That is why the law was correct in this case.

The law says you're wrong. You have a right to use force to stop an attack. The force has to be proportional to the attack. He couldn't break her neck or punch her in the throat. But a slap is absolutely proportional to what she did to him
Surrounded by hostile people all acting verbally aggressive and one of them hits him, sure no danger.

she will never live that level 3 shoureppSLAP down...omg.
He lost it yeah he lost it, whoopi goldberg don't know about being a man , nor do any of those hosts so they can say whatever they want from the female point of view but , come on son, can't hit a girl that isnt trying to kill you basically. I'm not seeing any reason to elevate the situation more though ,she was out of line and off the chain. Dude got arrested right? What else you want? Jail? A fine? He was the one being bothered, i guess he could get fined for ...not walking away i dunno. He can be where ever he wants to be on the train, say whatever he wants to say , but just let that idiot act a fool dont fight little girls, which is what she is mentally.
I dont think he commited a crime though not from what I saw. What happened before the video started rolling is the only thing that could maybe get this guy in trouble.

Shoving is a lot different than swung. She swung them at him. If there were any sharp or dense parts, it wouldn't take that much of a swing with them to do some serious damage, especially aiming for the head, which she had proven she was willing to do. Prosecutors ruled it was self-defence, in any case.

Well, I'm not going to have restraint on a man that acted like the gal in the video. I accept it is sexist not only against the men, but also with the women because I would see them as fragile even if they packed a punch, but I'm not touching one unless she is abusing a child or a dog. I just can't.
I don't know, 12 hours of work and then being harassed by 3 people like that, will make people snap.
I understand what you mean, but there's a good chance that he shared the same sentiment as you did, as he seems remorseful in the followup article.

Nope, she was attacking him and by all appeatances intended to contimue. He had a right to use reasonable force to stop it, which he did.

There's nothing complicated about this situation, people just want to be told "behavior x is always ok/not ok" so they don't have to think for themselves or take context into consideration
She was wrong, he tried to get away, she escalated, he tried to end the situation with a soul clap

How about "definitely not racist". Why did you say racist when you meant derogatory?
